Reloaded Freeze - Network Connection

[LeonaZypher7]

After launching Reloaded-II, clicking on Persona 3 Reload and scrolling down through the mod list, the program freezes and after forcefully closing it this error can be read:

This is a Reloaded-II launcher error

Just after posting the above issue, i opened the program and it immediately froze this time, couldn't even click on the game. It also wouldn't let me move my mouse cursor over the taskbar and i had to use CTRL+ALT+DELETE and open task manager to regain free mouse movement over the whole screen.

Don't know the reason but, i tried turning off my wifi as i remembered not updating the mods Reloaded-II told me earlier today with a pop-up. After turning my wifi off in the taskbar and the program runs fine, probably due to skipping whatever connection it's trying to make.
The moment i turn on my wifi again it works fine if the program is still running, but if i close the program and open it anew, it stops working and freezes again.

So it freezes due to an error when trying to check for updates?

Quick answer for anyone not wanting to read everything:

1. Delete mods from Reloaded II's folder.
2. Reinstall mods into Reloaded II.
3. Wait at your PC with the program open for 1 or 2 hours for all pop-ups to appear.
   3.1) Download dependencies manually on github from RyoTune, Sewer56 or whoever made the one you need.
   3.2) DON'T press on the X and close the window when Reloaded II asks if it should update some of your mods and let it download whatever it wants. If you did accidentally press it away... wait for 10, 15, 30 minutes or however long it took and it will show up again at some point, probably.
4. Problem solved. You can play again without Reloaded II freezing or bypassing it by turning off your internet connection while launching the game with mods.
5. Mod not working? Inform mod creator to update their mod or the dependencies. (ex. Unreal.ObjectsEmitter >> UE Toolkit (Persona 3 Reload))

===========================================
Tried making the change in ReloadedII.json but did nothing, still freezes.

As for completely deleting the mods and re-adding them, there is a Shared Lib Dependency popup error and a couple seconds later a Download Mod Archive appears that wants to download Memory.Sigscan, Shared Lib and UE4SS along with a bunch of unknown packages that say N/A behind them.

During this time the main window seems frozen while it downloads (most likely the cause). After the download the window is operational again, only to repeat itself with a new window downloading Unreal Essentials this time along with a bunch of unknown packages that say N/A behind them again.

My guess is what makes Reloaded II freeze is when it tries to download those Unknown Packages with N/A in the background, as it froze again while writing this. (Also i pressed away the download updates window during the initial mods setup before, which might have been the cause back then as it never showed up again.)

My mod list without any mods look like this:

• IO Store Emulator
• Unreal Essentials
• Persona 3 Reload Essentials
• Costume Framework for P3R
• P3RE Class Constructor
• P3RE Native Types
• Ryo Framework
• UE Toolkit (Persona 3 Reload)
• Async Asset Loader
• Shared Scans
• UE4SS *This one is turned off by default?

===========================================
*It's giving me now a "Stuck in Download Loop" now after keeping the program open for a while and have it download some dependencies a couple times. It seems to currently look for:

• BGME.BattleThemes
• BGME.Framework.API
• BGME.Framework.P3R
• Unreal.AtlusScript.Reloaded
• Unreal.ObjectsEmitter.Reloaded
• UE.Toolkit.Reloaded

*Another window popped up looking for:

• reloaded.universal.fileemulationframework

*Both dependencies mentioned above aren't being downloaded by Reloaded and i've downloaded them manually.

*Another mod update window popped up after all this? Why did they never appear during the initial setup of the mods?

*A drive-by happened just now. A window popped up with a white bar moving quickly like something being downloaded or updating and it disappeared before i could see anything? Possibly Unreal Objects Emitter, as it's in the mod list now while i didn't want it installed as it was supposedly deprecated and could be replaced with UE Toolkit (Persona 3 Reload).

*Problem possibly solved now? Issue was "Costume Framework for P3R" not being able to find dependencies and Reloaded II not wanting to download them?

*My mod list without any mods look like this now:

• File Emulation Framework: Base Mod
• IO Store Emulator
• Unreal Essentials
• Persona 3 Reload Essentials
• Costume Framework for P3R
• P3RE Class Constructor
• P3RE Native Types
• Ryo Framework
• UE Toolkit (Persona 3 Reload)
• Unreal Objects Emitter *Turned off by default?
• Async Asset Loader
• BGME Battle Themes
• BGME Framework API
• BGME Framework for Unreal *Turned off by default?
• Shared Scans
• UE4SS *Turned off by default?
• Unreal Atlus Script *Turned off by default?
• Unreal Toolkit *Turned off by default?

Sooooo, yeah... Bunch more now after manually downloading and some sudden download/update windows appearing.
Not sure why Reloaded II didn't want to download them initially and has trouble downloading them, but i guess all is fine now?

• Bug: App closes after about a minute of being open #663 (comment)

Likely this for the original error.
Sorry for delay- health issues.

[LeonaZypher7]

That's okay. Dealing with health issues sucks, hope you'll get better.

As for the issue. Not sure about that... The one you've linked talks about the program closing, while for me and BRETTGAMER's issue the program stays open but becomes not interactable.

I've managed to fix it yesterday after some testing, searching for the dependencies on Github and with lots of patience and everything seems to run fine now again.

As mentioned in the previous post of mine, i think it's likely due to not being able to download/update the dependencies for some reason and the program making a network connection in the background when pulling for those files.

Not sure why one moment Reloaded II can't find them and the next it can.
Maybe an issue with Github? Maybe the user's network connection being unstable? No clue.

Anyway, i can comfortably play with mods again without any internet switching off and on shenanigans.

P.S. Thank you for making an amazing program for modding game's BTW. ^_^y

The message in the original post is certainly the DirectInput issue- but the other aforementioned issue with the program locking up is certainly due to getting stuck trying to pull updates.

The latter issue is fairly recent, could even be due to my own NuGet server- it's been fairly problematic lately. (https://packages.sewer56.moe)

The code from which I've forked on has some performance issues when running with sqlite at scale- and more recently, it has been ballooning in RAM usage to the point of killing other services.

I'm not sure why yet, as RAM usage has not historically been a problem with the service. But I'm starting to think lack of responsiveness here is the cause.

The PR in

• Fixed: Launcher freezing on startup when fetching mod update metadata #919
  Moves the update check to background to not block UI- but if updates don't fly, that's also rather problematic on its own.

[LeonaZypher7]

Sorry, I don't follow what you're saying due to my lack of programming and general IT knowledge, but from the sound of it you got an idea what the cause might be and potentially how to fix it.

As for the link to #919, that's just pure wizardry to me. No clue what is being said or how to make use of the walkthrough.
Never the less, i know things are in good hands and on the right path towards a permanent fix in the near future.

Concerning this, uhm, ticket? Post? Thread? I have no more questions and it can be closed if you want.
