next thing you might be wondering is well what's going to happen with mods are mods gonna work with Unreal Engine 5, no shot there's no way so like whenever we updated engine versions before that would break mods for this update update 8 is a major update for the game major upgrade with the engine as well there's no chance mods are going to work right now they will not work for experimental launch now the thing is that, mods and mod support is not something that is handled by us it is unofficial we do not officially support mods but it is handled by our community and they've done an incredible job creating amazing tools for modding and there's a plethora of mods out there and as always this happens every single time mods break after major launches, and then it's up to those mod creators in the modern Community to make the changes necessary to support the game again and then those mods come back online again we anticipate a longer downtime for mods because of this upgrade but I'm sure the money Community will do the best they can to get them back online as soon as possible if you run into any crashes that if you look at the stack trace the the information that pops up on the crash reporter when the game crashes if you look at that and you see like names of mods and stuff in there it's likely the crash is likely because of the mod you used and and that is likely what will happen to many people who use mods when you try to open the game, on experimental, when update 8 launches if that is the case the best thing to do is not reach out to us because what we will tell you is you need to go and talk to the mod Creator or the modding Community or uninstall the mods completely right clean them out using the mod loader uninstall using the mod loader, or the mod manager mod manager rather, and those are just the things you can do because we can't actually help you with those things all right so if you run into mod related crashes go and speak to the money Community or the mod developer some people might be wondering
