SA2’s Mod Loader

This is the main way to use mods with SA2. The SA2 Mod Loader.

It supports file replacement mods, custom code mods, cheat codes, and debug logs.

1. Required Downloads

In order to get the mod manager to function as it should, you need to download and install the files listed down below. Once installed, restart your PC and then proceed to setting up the mod manager.

DirectX web installer runtime (Click Here) (you need this to get the game working first if you can’t run the game by default)

Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 Redistributable - x86 (Click Here) - x64 (Click Here)

Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012 Redistributable (Click Here)

Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2013 Redistributable (Click Here)

Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2015, 2017, 2019 Redistributable (Click Here)

.NET Framework 4.8 Runtime (Click Here)

2. Updates

The latest version of the mod manager is always available at http://mm.reimuhakurei.net/sa2mods/SA2ModLoader.7z, which has been linked down below for those that scroll straight to the bottom to download the file.
If you’ve downloaded it from the Gamebanana download page for the mod manager, be sure to update it as you won’t be able to run all the new mods that have been released.

This mod loader worked for a while, but all of a sudden, it's giving me that Unhandled Exception error. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both my Steam game and the mod loader, but it's still doing it. The same thing is happening on the SADX Mod Loader from the SADXModInstaller. Any idea what's going on?

I'm gonna be honest, can somebody please give me and anybody else in my situation a step by step guide as to how to install this, for people who aren't experienced in mods or gamebanana at all? Thanks!

Sorry to be a bother, but is the "Always get A-rank" code supposed to not work on Route 101/280? Because it isn't, and I really don't want to have to redo those stages. They're bad enough as it is.
I know I have the code on and it's giving me A-rank on other stages, but it won't work on those two in particular.

Ok so I'm having some problems with the mod loader
When I start up the mod manager it says...

Data_DLL.dll could not be found

Cannot determine state of installation

Make sure that the mod loader files are in the game folder

The thing is I've already put the game in SA2's folder and yes I did follow these steps

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Adventure 2

So I don't know what's up with that.

Then when I try playing the game it says

Looks like you're starting the game without the mod loader installed. Without the mod loader, the mods and codes you've selected won't be used, and some settings may not work.

Do you want to install the mod loader now?

I say yes and then it says

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately

Could not find file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Adventure 2\resource\gd_PC\DLL\Win32\Data_DLL.dll"

So yeah I have no clue what to do any help would be appreciated

Ok sooo a bit of an issue here.
The manager tries to search for updates for mods that don't have updates out, this happens every time I open it and it takes like 2 mins each time. Also whenever I try to download any mods from GB, it doesn't work. I've already installed the URL Manager months ago. Also also whenever I launch the game, it loads up for about 2 secs and then just freezes. Any help here?

Ok so I got everything to work, but when I boot up the game it runs at 60 fps making it way to fast. I enable the frame lock feature in the mod loader then I boot SA2 again and it stops responding when the intro tries to load. I will be very grateful if someone can find a fix for this issue.
