Mod Engine 2 + a mod loader that uses lazy loaders, hopefully solving some launcher issues

🎮 **A smarter mod loading solution**

✨ Core Functions

Using a lazy loader to load the binaries for Mod Engine 2.1.0 and Mod Loader will hopefully resolve some issues caused by the Mod Engine launcher.

🚀 Quick Start

Preparation

• **Clean Game Folder** - Make sure there are no suspicious files in the `Game` folder except the game itself
• **Unzip File** - Unzip the downloaded content to the `Game` folder

Module installation

**DLL Modules** (such as Glorious Merchant, Ride Anywhere):

• Place all DLL modules and their configuration files into the `mods` folder

**Other modules** (such as Convergence, randomizer):

• Create subfolders within the `mod` folder and install the mod
• Edit the `mods` list in the `base/config.toml` file

```toml

mods = [

{ enabled = true, name = "mod1", path = "mod\\randomizer" },

{ enabled = true, name = "mod2", path = "mod\\convergence" }

]

```

Start the game

• Use `eldenring.exe` to start the game
• Check if all modules are working properly

🔧 Special configuration

DLL module issues

If the DLL module is not working properly, add its path to the `external_dlls` list in `config.toml`:

```toml

external_dlls = [

"mods\\some_dll_mod.dll",

"mods\\another_dll_mod.dll"

]

```

Seamless online module

For Seamless Coop:

• Copy the `SeamlessCoop` folder to the `Game` folder
• Add the path to the `external_dlls` list:

```toml

external_dlls = [

"SeamlessCoop\\ersc.dll"

]

```

---

⚡ Quick Fix

If some static mods don't work properly, change the following settings to `true`:

```toml

[extension.mod_loader]

enabled = false

```

---

🎯 Usage example

**Install random machine + seamless connection + Glorious Merchant: **

• Place the Glorious Merchant files into the `mods` folder
• Create a `randomizer` subfolder in the `mod` folder to install the randomizer
• Configure the `mods` list:

```toml

mods = [

{ enabled = true, name = "default", path = "mod\\randomizer" }

]

```

• Add seamless connection to `external_dlls` list
• Set an online session password
• Use `eldenring.exe` to start the game

---

⚠️ Notes

• **EAC Bypass**: `steam_appid.txt` used to bypass the EAC of Elden Ring, other games can be deleted
• **Online Gaming**: Remove `dinput8.dll` from the `Game` folder to launch from Steam and play online
• **EAC pop-up**: If an EAC pop-up window appears, check whether you forgot to place `steam_appid.txt` in the `Game` folder
