Understanding error messages

What the messages of the launcher mean and what to do.

Message	Cause / remedy
`API not reachable`	Wrong address in Settings → Mods API, or the server is down.
`The injector is not installed`	Injector page → Install injector.
`Game is not running`	Start Stormworks (64-bit). The launcher does not load into a dead process.
`The injector is not installed, so the switched-on mods were not loaded`	The game was started anyway. Install the injector and press Play again.
`skipped: <name> (not installed)`	`activemods.ini` names a DLL that is gone. Switch the mod off or install it again.
`off, but the mod menu has it loaded`	The in-game mod menu loaded it. Switch it off there.
`Verification failed`	The injector rejected the file (integrity check). The injector version may not fit the game.
`SHA-256 mismatch`	The download was corrupted or the API announced a wrong hash. Nothing was installed.
`... is loaded in the game and locked`	Unload the mod first, then install, update or remove it.
`Game folder not found`	Settings → Game folder.
SmartScreen blocks the EXE	The file is not signed: More info, then Run anyway.
Console: SHA-256 mismatch	The game version does not match the mapping. Wait for an update.
