Nitrox mod, discord issue? How to fix your game.
I tried launching the Subnautica mod Nitrox today, and it seems not to be launching. I was going to go to their Discord server to see what's up, and I cannot find their server anymore... All links appear to be expired, and no one seems to be chatting about it...
After further investigation as to why my game won't launch, I found the game tries to run a discord_game_sdk.dll. I'm not sure what this does exactly. However, I assume it is used to connect and communicate with their Discord server. Since the Discord server is gone, it isn't able to locate it, and it silently fails, just giving an unrecognizable error.
I was able to solve this issue. I'm not sure why it worked, but it did...
go to: C:\Nitrox_1.8.1.0_win_x64\lib\net472\discord_game_sdk.dll
or wherever you have the nitrox folder, and rename that file.
I renamed it to: discord_game_sdk.dll.disabled
So just add .disabled at the end, and it will stop trying to connect to Discord.
I have no Idea if this breaks anything else, but at least you'll be able to launch the game and still connect to your server...
