Issue

After reinstalling the Steam version of World of Warships, Aslain's WoWS Modpack v15.5.0 #08 no longer detects the game installation.

Error displayed:

"The game client was not detected in the specified folder."

Before reinstalling the game, the modpack was working correctly on the same PC.

Timeline

• Aslain mods were installed and working normally yesterday.

• I uninstalled World of Warships because Steam would leave the game stuck on "Stopping" after exiting.

• Reinstalled the game through Steam.

• After reinstall, Aslain can no longer detect the game regardless of which folder is selected.

System Information

• Platform: Steam

• Aslain Modpack: v15.5.0 #08

• Steam installation:

  D:\Steam
  

• World of Warships installation:

  C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\World of Warships
  

Troubleshooting Performed

Steam

• Verified integrity of game files twice.

• Game launches normally.

• Can reach Port without issues.

Executables Verified

Verified that both executables exist:

C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\World of Warships\WorldOfWarships.exe

C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\World of Warships\bin\12668706\bin64\WorldOfWarships64.exe

Both files are present.

Folder Structure Verified

Game root contains expected folders/files including:

• bin

• lib

• profile

• res_packages

• steam_api64.dll

• WorldOfWarships.exe

Bin Folder

Two builds exist:

12506899
12668706

Both contain complete bin64 folders including:

WorldOfWarships64.exe

No missing executable.

Steam Configuration Verified

Steam library configuration (libraryfolders.vdf) correctly lists:

D:\Steam

and

C:\SteamLibrary

World of Warships (AppID 552990) is assigned to:

C:\SteamLibrary

App Manifest Verified

appmanifest_552990.acf

Verified values:

installdir = World of Warships
StateFlags = 4
buildid = 23670357
MountedConfig = language english

Manifest appears correct.

Registry Investigation

Found stale registry entries from previous installation.

Old values referenced:

D:\Steam\steamapps\common\World of Warships

Removed Aslain installer registry key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Aslains_WoWs_Modpack_Installer

Installer recreated settings but detection problem remained.

Additional Tests

Tested selecting all of the following:

C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\World of Warships

C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\World of Warships\bin

C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\World of Warships\bin\12668706

All produce the same error:

"The game client was not detected in the specified folder."

Result

The game installation appears completely healthy.

Steam launches the game normally.

Steam manifest is correct.

Steam library configuration is correct.

Executables are present.

Verification passes.

Only Aslain fails to detect the installation.

Request

Could there be a regression or issue in the client detection logic of v15.5.0 #08 for Steam installations?

Since the installer worked before the reinstall on the same machine, it appears the detection logic is rejecting an otherwise valid Steam installation.

Any guidance or a diagnostic build/logging option would be appreciated.

        How does the installation program detect the client？

        Because I am certain that I have a game client locally (URL: D: \ 360 Wargaming \ World_of_Warships_CN360), but during installation, it keeps prompting that the client cannot be detected！

Can anyone get the Advanced Torpedo marker working again?

The text under the mod says

The mod is valid for 30 days since the last release Author TTaro

I know, nobody likes the Submarines..

But i do

This mod displays when the Ping is active and guides the torpedos. This fine green lines which comes vanila are really hard to see for me.

This mod was a really win

Thank you.

Just installed 15.4 mod and stuck on Logging In screen.

My WOWS mods are not working since the 15.0.3.24 update. The main file download but it freezes during download of the archiver files. I have tried all the steps you suggested and even deleted and reinstalled WOWS and the Aslain mod but still no solution.

I have attached the archiver files and a photo of where the download stop.

Please advise as it was working fine until the new downloader was introduced.
