Is there actually a lastDeploy.json file? Have you deployed your mods via SMF? I believe it is safe to say Linux vs Windows does not matter, as far as this file is concerned. Its just an output file which I presume is created, when SMF performs a successful deploy of mods. I saw this error message while installing the SDK, before I had actually deployed mods with SMF. Once I got through troubleshooting SMF issues and actually deployed mods successfully, that error dissappeared,
I got this problem solved thanks to VoodooHillbilly in the Glacier 2 Modding discord server
What you wanna do is to find the Wine prefix that SMF is using. If you use Proton thru Steam, then you could use Protontricks to find the compatdata the shortcut is using. Then go to AppData/Local/Simple Mod Framework and take note of the full path you took to get there. In the end, it'll look something like /home/USERNAME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3913053158/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Simple Mod Framework/ (I made a shortcut from Steam so it looked like this, yours may vary) Now go to missioncompanion.ini located in HITMAN 3/Retail/mods, and in override_last_deploy_path replace false with the location of your lastDeploy.json file like this override_last_deploy_path = Z:\home\USERNAME\.steam\steam\steamapps\compatdata\3913053158\pfx\drive_c\users\steamuser\AppData\Local\Simple Mod Framework\lastDeploy.json of course you may wanna replace the / into \ (just do a replace command in your text editor to replace all / into \) It should work now, but if it doesn't just make a symlink of the AppData SMF folder to your home directory and point missioncompanion to it instead. I had to do it
Sorry for the semi-necro post, but this should be helpful for those who has the same problem we do.Imma
Hey i tired everthing to fix but nothing works. I installed Freelancer Varaitions and Mission Companion.I installed SDK and it works but i always get the error message that FreelancerVarations cant find the file freelancervaraitons.json in the mods folder Mission Companion Load Error Please Help
I am trying now for several days but SDK does not seem to work at all. Games starts, as soon as it ask to go VR, crash to destkop no error whatsoever. I read somehwere it is not updated? But then again latest v3.1.1 is out since jan 25th, I dont get it.
Is there a way to make Companion work without SDK? To somehow install companion with SMF, which actually works at least.
Hi, steam deck user here. I deployed all my mods on my windows pc and then copied the Runtime folder content and all other necessary files in the right folders on the deck, but the "lastDeploy.json not found..." error appears. I tried to deploy the mods on windows using deploy.exe file, but I can't find lastdeploy.json. Do you know other solutions? Thanks a lot
When you deploy with SMF, it'll create the lastDeploy file at '%localappdata%\Simple Mod Framework\lastDeploy.json'. Copy this to your steam deck, set the path in the config to where you put this file, and that should hopefully be all that is required.
Hi. I also install with mods on SteamDeck, I would like to ask you for help. Could you tell me where exactly you specified the path to the lastDeploy.json file?
In the missioncompanion.ini file, so it's something like "steamapps\common\HITMAN 3\Retail\mods\missioncompanion.ini", the option named "override_last_deploy_path"
I've gotten ZHM mod SDK working on steam deck but i cant figure out how to get this working even after trying to follow other comments but i probably made some mistake, just pls give help
I have encountered 3 problems in Freelancer Vr. 1. Is it just me that can't see the merces, it's a bit annoying that I don't know how much money I have. 2. Do shopkeepers also only show you the names of the products? 3. The game crashes when loading morocco
Just tried to install MODSDK, but as soon as I switch over to the VR mode the game crashes.. It does work without the MODSDK.. Anyone a solution for this?
hey sorry if this is a dumb question but if i have mission companion, do i need the freelancer variations mod or just this if I'm trying to get freelqncer variations to work?

To somehow install companion with SMF, which actually works at least.
I just want to do freelance in VR.
I do see a bug report for SDK VR crashes, https://github.com/OrfeasZ/ZHMModSDK/issues/163, but no update there yet.
I have the mod SDK (and SMF although it doesn't look like it's needed in this case)
Have gotten other mods to load, so no other problems.
Copy this to your steam deck, set the path in the config to where you put this file, and that should hopefully be all that is required.
please help
i will try it again
It does work without the MODSDK..
Anyone a solution for this?
