I am probably going to regret posting this because I most likely will not explain it well, and most will say “jeezus, no kidding you dope.” But for those who are like me and not the sharpest knife in the drawer, here is how I was able to get KR to work.
1) Block out all my prior posts about unzipping, that was a major PITA. I learned nothing from that, so that is not was this is about.
2) The installation instructions (to me) were not correct. They did properly create the KR folder off of the main Mods folder, so I could see the KR mod when in the DH game launcher. But when I invoked KR, this caused the game to default to DH light.
3) I therefore noticed that when I followed the instructions, it created two KR folders. One was within the other one (not sure how to explain that, a subfolder). So, it created an unnecessary duplication layer of the KR folder. I therefore MOVED all of the folders from the subfolder to the TOP KR folder. BOOM, everything works great as far as the setup.
If this is a stupid post, I apologize in advance. Thank you everyone for your help.
PS – I have some things to do, tonight I am firing this up. Please prepare for some additional stupid KR questions. I have several hundred hours of HOI 4 KR, so I should be okay with the lore.., I think.
