Having crash issues on newer Windows 11 versions?

The newest major Windows 11 update “24H2” is slowly rolling out. Once installing the update, Just Cause 3 Multiplayer will always crash with a WindowsCodecsext dll error

But don’t worry! The mod’s creators may have abandoned it, but the community hasn’t! Within less than a day, my amazing friend Jason098 made a simple yet effective fix!

All you need to do is follow the simple steps below, and the mod will continue to work just like before! So follow along:

Step 1:

Visit the folder linked below on the Just Cause archive and download both files

Download fix

Step 2:

Open Steam, go to your library and find Just Cause 3 Multiplayer in your list of games

Step 3:

Right click it and click on ” properties”

Step 4:

In the new window that pops up click “Installed Files” on the left, then “Browse…” in the top right

Step 5:

You are now in the game’s install folder. Now simply paste the two files you downloaded earlier in here

That’s it, it now works just like before! Have fun playing!
