Native Mod Loader is used to load any Native dll plugins in the game's bin\NativeMods\ folder.

It's just the loader! It does not bundle any Native Mods. If you don't see this plug-in required from other Native Mods, you don't need to install this plug-in.

Install

  • Unzip both bink2w64.dll and bink2w64_original.dll files into the bin folder under the game installation directory.

Example path (not absolute):

"D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin"

  • (Important!) Confirm when prompted to overwrite.

uninstall

  • In the bin folder under the game installation directory:
  • Delete `NativeMods` folder.
  • Delete `bink2w64.dll`.
  • Rename `bink2w64_original.dll` to `bink2w64.dll`.

FAQ

  • Loading failed
  • Both files need to be put into the bin folder.
  • I don't have a `NativeMods` folder!
  • This mod is only a plug-in loader. If the native plug-in you are installing does not come with this folder, you can create a new `NativeMods` folder in the bin folder.
  • Data integrity error
  • The loader replaces the game files and this error can be ignored.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
