Mod Organizer 2?

I was checking to see if MO worked for fallout 4 yet and saw this mod by Mort65. It contains a link to a github for beta 2 of MO2 by TanninOne (Not42) I installed it and its worked well enough but I've noticed that im getting empty folders with Chinese text names in my Fo4 save folder in My Documents. I've looked into the exe I downloaded with 7z and it has 2 folders in it. One with MO stuff and another with various dlls including a dialer.dll

This forum section is for nexus site issues, MO is not even anything to do with The Nexus.

I would think a link to a possible Trojan on your site would be of concern to you. Perhaps i was mistaken.

Thanks ack_Thanatos. I got the same info on the STEP forums. I had no idea MO2 could make chinese folders. I was thinking Chinese hackers messing with my pc...lol at least i saved my mod and profiles folders before reinstalling windows...lol

I reinstalled windows, installed bit defender, malwarebytes and spyboy S&D. Downloaded that mo2exe again and it still contained the second folder. so somethings not right. and its not me.

The content of the installer is generated by the nsis installer framework so I'm not sure myself what all this is for. The directory in your screenshot is probably part of the library that allows the installer to download packages during install.

 

mystery solved...lol

No, the mystery is not solved. NSIS is not a Chinese program, contains no dialer, and that there isn't even CHINESE!

 

Norton reports this as a dialer, but Norton is schizophrenic and will warn you about any program which the authors have not paid protection money to them... so take that with a grain of salt.

 

That being said, I've seen this before... just recently with a friend. It tore her hard drive apart and she had to totally reinstall Windows.

 

Take a close look at those file names. They're not actually Chinese. That's corrupted text in several languages, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean among them... they're all just really high unicode code points, high enough to be in the CJK block. It's as if somewhere along the line the program started adding ascii characters together to get one big number, and processes that as a unicode character, instead of concatenating these letters as strings. Likely, the author has used "string1 + string2"... and that is WRONG. I don't care how Java does it, this isn't written in Java as far as I know.

 

Either way... try to contact the author of MO. Show him my comment here. See what he says. (Nevermind, I'll do it). I bet he puts out another version to fix that, quickly. That, or he tells you that you needed some different library, in which case, he still needs to fix it because it's killed two installations of windows that I know of in a 24 hour period.

 

And for the rest of you, don't download that file and try to see what is going on by installing it. It will kill your hard drive. Something is seriously wrong in that file, and it's not a dialer. I mean, it MIGHT be a dialer, but that's not what is killing these computers.

Got a solid answer. It's not a great one tho, since it sort of says "Oh hey, here's some thing you shouldn't have done, so it's your fault"... And yes... they say install a library file...

 

 


thats the result of using an exe (xedit.exe loot.exe, f4se.exe) within MO2 and can be fixed by installing https://github.com/TanninOne/modorganizer/releases/download/v2.0.6b/usvfs.7z That bug is documented here: #753
