If your Dragon's Dogma game crashes with the error "failed to open *_zht.gmd" at any point (startup, mid game, etc...), this fix should help.
If you are using Vortex:
- Open Vortex
- Go to the mods section
- Open Mods staging folder
- Copy all the files (
ARCtool.exe, findzht.py, run.cmd) to the root of the staging folder if you don't know which mod is causing the problem. - Copy all the files (
ARCtool.exe, findzht.py, run.cmd) to the mod folder if you know which specific mod is causing the problem. - Run
run.cmd
If you are not using vortex
You could just copy all the files (ARCtool.exe, findzht.py, run.cmd) to the nativePC folder and run run.cmd. But this would unpack all of the games' arc files, which might take a while. If you know which mod is causing the error, its best to copy the files to that mod's folder and run run.cmd.
