Thora very graciously worked with me on this for the last couple of hours. What ended up working for me was to follow all the current instructions and then
restart my PC.
Thank you
Thora for your help and your patience!
The installation was essentially correct (on a separate drive). BepInEx was not loading and failing silently. This is an open source framework allowing Monkey to attach to the Unity process. Without it, nothing will work.
While a reboot 'fixed' it, we were unable to identify the root cause unfortunately.
The most common issues of 'Monkey doesn't work' have been:
- Incorrect versions
- Files in the wrong place
- Non-ascii characters in install or document path (breaks Bep)
- A/V or smart screen blocks
- Incompatible plugins
- Etc.
I'll update the documentation to include a 'reboot' step. In this process I did setup a test instance of Windows 11/pro just in case and found no issues in both native and sandbox.
100% of 'Monkey doesn't work' I've investigated last year were user side setup. So please before asking for help try to follow the install instructions to the letter. If stumped, post here or pm me, and I'll do my best to help out.
