F.A.Q

Q: How can I create my own BL3 mods?

A: Documentation for creating BL3 mods is still in very early stages, but a good starting place is on the BLCMods wiki: https://github.com/BLCM/BLCMods/wiki/Borderlands-3-Hotfix-Modding

Q: Does this work for console?

A: Not as far as I know. Sorry :/

Q: Does the WebUI need to be open to use mods?

A: No, the webui is only ever needed if you want to make changes (add/remove/disable/enable) mods, manage presets etc. Otherwise only the application needs to be running. And if you use the DLL, you don't need to do anything besides running the game :)

Q: I "Deactivated" a mod and reloaded the hotfixes but the mod is still active?

A: That's very likely to happen, yes. Once a hotfix has been applied, chances are that the object will not have been "unloaded" by the game, so the changes are still applied. You'd have to restart your game in order for this mod to not be applied anymore. No way around that. This is supposed to be a way to enable/disable a specific mods without having to delete / re-add them every time.

Q: I changed my mods but the counter in "news" in the main menu did not change. Why not?

A: That's due to how the game "polls" for the news. From what I know so far, it seems to only ask for "news" on the first time you get to the main menu. So there currently is no chance for B3HM to "update" the news.

Q: X and Y still don't work. What are you even doing?

A: Well, I work on this in my free time. So time and motivation obviously play a big role when it comes to implementing new things or fixing bugs. On top of that, we never made a contract where I signed up to be your employee. So I'm honestly not obligated to do anything. :)

Q: I've asked multiple people for help with my issue and nobody could help me. Why not?

A: First of all, this is only/mainly developed by one person (c0dycode) and this is a completely new piece software tested by only a handful of people. It's likely that there are issues that I/we do not know about yet or don't know how to fix (yet, hopfully). So over time we'll know of more quirks and how to possibly fix or work around them. Until then, you might be on your own. Sorry.

Q: I'm too lazy to launch B3HM every time I want to use mods. How do I use the DLL-version?

A: The most convenient way is to use BL3 DX11 Injection. Refer to its instructions for installing & configuration.

Q: I'm trying to open B3HM but nothing happens. What do I do?

A: Click the arrow in your systray (bottom right, where you can see the little icons). It's possible that it's hidden in there. If it's not, something went wrong. Check the log.log-file (open with any Texteditor) and let me know what it says.

Q: My hotfixes are not being applied. Why?

A: Either your game has no internet connection (this is 100% required for now) or some required step failed. Check the log.log-file and/or the log-window in the WebUI.

Q: The Websocket of the WebUI takes very long to connect. What can I do?

A: Unfortunately this is still somewhat of a mystery to me. The only thing I did find out was, using a different browser usually helps. For me, Firefox CAN take a long time to connect, whereas Edge pretty much connects immediately. I don't know what's causing this, so it's very difficult to fix.

Q: The item I am supposed to receive via the "Receive Items"-tab does not show up. What's going on?

A: This can be caused by two things.

  1. The SerialNumber you entered is considered "invalid" by the game.
  2. You need to re-open the Mail-window for it to show up.

Q: Something happened to my game/save/pc. What happened?

A: Well, I don't know. All I know is, that the disclaimer told you that you basically use this at your own risk. Sorry.

Q: Nothing works and this sucks, right?

A: No :( I obviously can not guarantee that everything works flawlessly for everyone. If I DO know that things are not working for some people, I'll try my best to fix it. However, in some cases it'll be very difficult to reproduce issues and therefore it's very difficult to fix. Especially if it works fine for hundreds/thousands of people. If the majority of people do NOT have the same problem, it has most likely something to do with your own system.
