Troubleshooting and Support
If you’re running into problems installing mods, check these things first:
- Is your version of Windows supported?
- Persona 4 Golden is only officially supported on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
- Are you still using a beta release?
- The stable release of Version 1.1 has all the fixes from the hotfix betas and more, so there is no reason to use a beta version anymore.
- Did you remember to click Build in Aemulus?
- Packages don’t get written to your mods folder until you click Build.
- Did you make sure to run P4G through Reloaded-II?
- Mods will only be injected if the game is launched through Reloaded-II.
- Check out the section called “Launching the Game” in the community guide[gamebanana.com] for a few ways you can make launching the game easier.
- Did you download the release builds of Reloaded-II and the mod loader?
- Make sure you’re getting your GitHub files from the releases page. Downloading the master builds directly won’t work.
