Installation Guide: ICE Manager - AsteriskAmpersand/Ice-Stable GitHub Wiki

The ICE Manager simplifies the ICE installation and update process. It can also help transfer save files and mods on your first install.

First Time Installation

  1. Install Stracker's Loader and all its prerequisites. It can be found at Nexus Mods.
  2. Download and save ICE-Manager.exe to any folder except for the main Monster Hunter World game folder. The latest ICE Manager version can be found in Releases.
  3. Run ICE-Manager.exe, and use any of its functions as needed. Descriptions are provided in the next section.

Options

  • Import -> Saves: Overwrites the ICE save file with a copy of the vanilla MHW save file. When first installing ICE, use this option if you want to transfer your save progress to ICE. (WARNING: Do NOT use this option if you have been playing ICE, as it will erase your ICE progress)
  • Import -> Mods: Overwrites the ICE .\ICE\ntPC mod folder with a copy of the vanilla MHW .\nativePC\ mod folder. When first installing ICE, use this option to quickly transfer your existing mods to ICE.
  • Install -> Stable: Downloads and installs the latest Stable build of ICE. (Recommended for general play)
  • Install -> Experimental: Downloads and installs the latest Experimental build of ICE. Experimental build is used for testing unreleased features for ICE.
  • Manage -> Update: Downloads the latest Stable or Experimental build of ICE, depending on which was selected previously. Use this option occasionally to keep up with updates and continue matchmaking with other ICE hunters on the latest version.
  • Manage -> Enable/Disable: Quickly toggles ICE on/off. When off, launching MHW will continue using your vanilla MHW save progress and .\nativePC\ mod folder as if ICE was never installed.
  • Manage -> Uninstall: Removes all ICE related files.
