## 'The menu inside the game does not show up' <a href="#menu-not-showing-up" id="menu-not-showing-up"></a>

This is a fairly common issue so don't worry. Please do the following steps:

#### 1. Open the launcher

Close Green Hell if it is still running and open the launcher application.

#### 2. Open the settings

Click on Settings:gear:icon to open the Launcher settings.

#### 3. Change the starting method

In the settings, there is an option for changing the starting method. You can choose betweeen `Steam`, `Executable` and `Force Start`. If you have never changed this before, the current value should be `Steam`. **Please select `Force Start`.**

#### **4. Start the game**

Now, close the Settings by clicking the gear :gear: again and press `Play` to start the game.

#### 5. Did it work?

If this worked, you should now see the modding menu inside the game. If you can not see the menu as shown below, please go back to step 3 and try to change the Starting Method to `Executable`.
