XV2 Patcher Not Working


Topic starter

Okay, so I don't really know what I did, but whatever I did and the result of it was so bizarre that I stumped the entirety of the XV2 Revamp Discord. Let me explain:

So I updated the game to the latest version, DLC and all, and decided I wanted to mod it again. Now, I've modded it before, but that was a very long time ago, so to be safe I cleared everything mod related and reinstalled the latest version of the patcher and the mod installer.

I THOUGHT this would work, but for some unknown reason, it simply doesn't. More specifically, the patcher just, refuses to load or even exist???

Are the files broken? Nope, they're all fine.
Validate the game files? Already did that, they were fine and didn't fix anything.
Update the mod installer? Sure did. Cleared installations too just in case. Didn't fix anything.
Right version of the patcher? Yep, I downloaded literally two days ago and it's version 4.3.

I was completely puzzled. I even reinstalled the game entirely, but that was fruitless.

So I went to get help. Specifically the closest help I had was the Revamp team's Discord server. And well, that was interesting. Here's every possible explanation they had (all of which got shot down):

- xinput/dinput not there: It's been there since I installed the patcher and there's nothing wrong with it.

- EAC screwing things up: It's uninstalled.

- Patcher somehow broke: I've reinstalled it three times. It didn't work three times.

- Something with the versions: I've double checked and made sure that everything was the latest version.

This is just such a bizarre situation that I can't even explain what's wrong (neither can anyone who tried to help me). None of us even know what went wrong, so we don't even know where to begin to fix it. I am PRAYING TO GOD that someone here can potentially help me identify the issue.

UPDATE: After a FUCKING FOURTH FULL REINSTALL, I have come to the conclusion that my copy of XV2 is just cursed.

Nothing is being fixed, and no matter how many tutorials I follow (despite me doing it right from the beginning, I just HAD to double check just in case), it's the same results. The XV2INS says the patcher is there, all of the patcher files are correctly in place, but the game loads and VOILA THE PACHER ISN'T FUCKING BOOTED UP-

I think I just have a cursed copy of the game that has sentience and doesn't want to modded. No like GENUINELY NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH MY GAME.

Are you launching it from the .exe in the bin folder?

@silverwood989 Yes. In fact here's everything I've tried to do to fix it (and failed):

- Uninstall and reinstall the patcher
- Replace xinput with dinput
- Extract entire patcher folder into game directory
- Used compiler to compile another version of the patcher and used that version
- Uninstall & reinstall the game
- Uninstall & reinstall the game + Restarting the PC
- Delete the entire game directory and reinstall game + patcher
- Same as above but booted the game before installing patcher

There's probably something else that I just forgot to mention.

Fastest and the clearest Guide I can give you on Installing mods on DBXV PC Steam.Read the description below.

Files required-Lib -xenoverse master by Dariosamo, updated by me

Download mirror 1
Download mirror 2

If you have any questions, or problems do not hesitate to ask me . You can add me on steam and send me a message there, which is my favorite way, but you can message me at our forum http://dbxvmods.freeforums.net or just comment here. But if its regarding mod installing this guide pretty much covers everything. so I recommend watching it again and follow every single step so you wont encounter any issues.

Im using the Steam version , even though this method should fix your issues even if you are using the cracked version . if it crashes, verify your cache from steam and try again or reinstall the game . Trouble shooting guide is down below

Troubleshooting

**You dont have to extract the cpks ever again unless the game updates again.if it gets updated you ll have to repeat this process.otherthan that it only takes a few secs to pack your cpks.**

Why a new tutorial?
This method is a fast way to install mods on xenoverse.faster than the old method i made the tutorial on.you ll be surprised how fast it is

why not download lib-xenoverse from github?
I have added more files to this version of lib-xenoverse I’m sharing so it will work with you. so my version is the most updated.  Sometimes the antivirus software will delete some files immediately. don’t worry this one doesn’t have viruses . it just gives you a warning because lib xenoverse is not in their database. so disable it when you install the mods. once you activate it it will delete the files in lib xenoverse again . this might lead to files not working as shown in the video . this is an issue for some antivirus softwares only . for me my avast gives me no problems

It crashes when i try to extract my cpks.what do I need to do to fix this?
do a clean install/verify cache from steam
then use my lib xenoverse master. i got your issue earlier. verifying the game cache fixed it

I get an error/it closes when i try to pack my cpk. how do i fix this?
some cpk have the “read only ” checked in the file properties. make sure it is unchecked, and try again . you should be good to go

How do I know which folder goes where?
open your extracted data.cpk folder(data) , it will show you the way dbxv archives are packed. follow the same system when installing a mod

I dont have X folder. what do I do?
You create an X folder and put it in your modded.cpk

I was asked if its okay to replace some files file copying them in to the modded cpk,is that ok?
Yes thats how we install mods. We overwrite original files with our modded files.But do not replace these, .amk , .bai , .bac , .bcs files unless specified. if you do this you are likely to get a lot of errors.

My game got updated again, then I installed the mod like the way i normally do and it crashes/infinite loading screen. what do I do?
First thing to do when you are modding your game after the dlc is to make a backup of your original archive.you dont replace them with your old modded files.you can however take the mods seperately from them and install them on your new cpks(you have to repeat the process of extracting them here) . and it will work without any problems

How to Install Mods for Xenoverse 2!

How to Install Mods for Xenoverse 2!

Video Tutorial by The Mad Titan

 

Hello guests, a lot of you are wondering how to install mods on xenoverse 2. So we are here to answer that question. First and foremost, most file types and structures are back for this installment so modders are currently working hard to provide new modding tools and tutorials to help you out 🙂

You will need to download the Tools

To use the cpk patcher, please follow these instructions:

Simplified instructions for advanced users –

  1. Copy the files to the “DB Xenoverse 2” folder in \steamapps\common
  2. Create a folder named “data” in \steamapps\common\DB Xenoverse 2
  3. Drag any mods you have downloaded into this data folder
  4. That’s it!

Note: if a mod contains both a “data” folder and a “data2” folder, it is safe to assume that the contents are intended to be packed with CRIpack. However the patcher takes priority over all CPK files, so the contents of both “data” and “data2” should be moved to the patcher’s data folder.
