DAI Mod Manager not working at all with the GOTY edition

[cappko]

I have a massive problem with the mod manager and I'd be really grateful for all your help.

The manager version is the latest one, which is the 0.59 alpha, the game is patched at the latest version and I have all the available DLCs for the game installed, basically bought this on Origin as the GOTY version. These are the steps I took:

I have performed a fresh installation of the game and extracted the mod manager in the documents folder.

I have fired up the game - works properly.

I have fired up the mod manager, selected the .exe successfully, ticked verbose logs, ticked force rescan and started the merge with no mods or only one mod (First person combad at FOV 75) repeatedly.

It stopped at some French .toc files in Patch/Data/Win32/loc, I have overcome this issue using a tutorial somewhere in these forums (by backing up the problematic files and overwriting them with the files from the locfacefx folder).

Finally it has started merging and stopped at:
[0] Merging E:\Program Files\Dragon Age Inquisition\Data\Win32\loc\en.toc

And I can't fix that one

Tried choosing custom merge destination, but to no avail :sad:

I saw all 25 explanatory videos on how to install mods for this game (or how many are there), I have read god knows how many articles and discussions and forums, and for 99 percent of the people, this process was pretty easy, just click merge and enjoy.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, especially since it's a fresh installation from Origin.

Any help or advice would be massively appreciated!!!

I don't know what the problem is, but I made an installation guide for someone else on this thread. It goes into excruciatingly minute detail. Maybe it'll work for you? https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/daitools/manager-can-t-find-mods-t1846.html

 

You shouldn't have to bother with verbose logging iirc.
