Not activating on Steam Deck

[ERROR2401]

I have followed all instructions, installed .net desktop runtime 8.0.x, putting the proper launch commands, etc. however, when booting up the game, the loader simply does not start, as shoen by no console window appearing when the game is started, and pressing F9 does nothing. However the game is still playable. Despite this, it seems all the files that should automatically generate have generated successfully. I have Monster Hunter World installed on an SD card, and have attempted to fix the issue by copying the compatdata folder for the game to the SD card's compatdata folder as well, to no avail.

I think you can build on windows with Visual studio.

python make-package.py -c Release 0.0.9-proton11 D:\mhw-cs-plugin-loader

If you have MSBuild in PATH.

[ERROR2401]

I don't exactly have any of the stuff needed to build on windows (and I've always had problems with building stuff in general)
Shouldn't there be a way to do everything exclusively on a steam deck/linux, considering there's a linux version of the loader?

[ERROR2401]

I wonder if it's related to issue #62, and therefore I have to wait until that change is reflected in a release version of the loader?

I assume you were following these official instructions?

If so, it seems they were updated a bit prematurely. Right now the latest release version of the loader (0.9) hasn't switched to ucrtbase.dll yet, so the provided Steam launch parameters don't work. And it's likely you're not using Proton 11 yet either.

Try WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcrt,dinput8=n,b" %command% if you want to run Strackers Loader as well or WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcrt=n,b" %command% if you don't want to run that.

Try WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcrt,dinput8=n,b" %command% if you want to run Strackers Loader as well or WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcrt=n,b" %command% if you don't want to run that.

Still no console pop-up when setting that as the launch commands

The "linux" version of the loader is really just the windows version in disguise. Proton is what's doing all the heavy lifting. To build the loader you need access to the Windows 10/11 SDK and the MSVC compiler. You can, however, download artifacts from here https://github.com/Fexty12573/SharpPluginLoader/actions/runs/26715177278

the artifacts were read as corrupted, but I tried repairing them and finally saw the console popup.
However, when starting a lobby the game almost immediately crashes

also I had these launch instructions and version 0.9 for a while without realizing it wasn't starting up, and I made the issue report when I realized it never started up
