The plugins list is empty and can't open the hub

[Mohamed6935]

Initially there was no plugins button but worked around it by downloading the loader manually to the game files. But now can't access or see any plugin or open the hub
launcher.log
loader.log

"System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"

Since you are the first person I have seen to have this issue, I think it is on your end

[Mohamed6935]

Any idea how to fix it? Or at least bypass it
Want to install the performance plugin. So of there away to manually install it would be nice to know

[austinvaness]

One possibility is either github has blocked you or something on your network is blocking github

[Mohamed6935]

Tried mobile network and still no luck. Probably not it considering both mobile and wifi can access GitHub. Seems no way to just put the files manually instead of having to use the hub?

I had the same issue with the launcher throwing a SocketException when trying to install PluginLoader, but after finding this issue on the PluginLoader repo I was able to get everything to work by disabling IPv6 support on my computer's network adaptor. That issue mentions a config option to allow IPv6, but the config file isn't created until the launcher installs PluginLoader.

Would it be possible to have the launcher catch this exception, and then try again with IPv6 disabled?

[austinvaness]

@Mohamed6935 Have you tried without ipv6?

[Mohamed6935]

Just tried it without ipv6 and it seems the same.
Empty plugins or mods list and the plugin hub button doesn't do anything 😢

What happens if you go to the exact url that it says in the logs? Make sure to use the same machine that space engineers is on
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sepluginloader/PluginHub/main/plugins.sha1

[Mohamed6935]

That is what I see

@Mohamed6935 Try this version of plugin loader and let me know if anything changes. To use it, you will need to extract the dll file and unblock it in file properties. Then place it in the Bin64 folder (overwrite the existing file)

PluginLoader-v1.11.5.1.zip

@austinvaness

After pressing retry. The game launches without the plugins button and the launcher is stuck in the background "updating workshop items" while the game running

[Mohamed6935]

Tried both ipv6 on and off
