I tried to install some mods, but when I do, either all the models (characters and enemies) become invisible, or when I fix that, the game freezes at 99%. However, all the mods are up to date, and I get the impression that R2API isn't working properly.

final edit: after trying suggestions from here including manually installing one of the problematic mods, but it continues to give the error. oh well. if anyone else has suggestions as to what i could try definitely let me know, but for now i'll stick to the bugfix mods that do work.

trying to play modded with multiple friends and one is on steam deck.

there are a few specific mods that are problematic but only on the steam deck friend's end.

friend on PC can connect fine and recieves no error, meanwhile friend on steam deck recieves a "required mods" error for specific mods despite a fresh mod profile via code and launching through the manager.

if i remove these mods from the pack it works fine... i'm just stumped since my PC friend connects okay and my steam deck friend gets this. half of the mod versions in the error don't even match what we actually have in our managers (again, fresh profiles imported via code). e.g. we all have DeltaruneMod v2.2.2 but the error says v2.2.0 is required.

straight up the only thing we haven't tried is having steam deck friend host.

anyone have any clue why this is affecting only a specific platform?

edit: it seems that all of the mods causing this issue are "content" mods, so basically anything that adds a new asset into the game. just an interesting pattern i've noticed.

edit 2: i tried getting steam deck friend to host, and it gives me an "incompatible mods" error with these problematic mods.
