🚀 Start installation

Step 1: Install Mod Engine

Mod Engine 2 is our mod loader of choice and the only tool you really need to install mods.

• Download the latest version of ME2 and extract it to any location
• Open the folder and find the "launchmod_eldenring.bat" file
• Keep the folder open and prepare for the next step

Step 2: Use ME2 to install the DLL file

Most mods containing .dll files can be installed via ME2:

• Edit the "config_eldenring.toml" file
• Add the DLL file path in the `external_dlls` section
• Specify the DLL location using a relative path or an absolute path

**Example configuration:**

```toml

external_dlls = [

"StutterFixDLL.dll",

"C:\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\ELDEN RING\\Game\\SeamlessCoop\\ersc.dll"

]

```

Step 3: Install the seamless online module

• Install Seamless Co-op into the game folder normally
• Create seamless online archives
• Get the path to the ersc.dll file and add it to the ME2 configuration

Step 4: Install non-DLL modules

For mods containing files such as Regulation.bin:

• Create a new module folder in the ME2 folder
• Move the module files to this folder
• Add module loading order in configuration file

**Example configuration:**

```toml

mods = [

{ enabled = true, name = "Sekiro", path = "sekiro" },

{ enabled = true, name = "Example", path = "example" }

]

```

Step 5: Visual Effects Module Part 1

Install the color grading and night brightness modules:

• Create the "lighting" folder
• Extract relevant module files
• Add to bottom of load order

Step 6: Visual Effects Mod Part 2

Install ReShade:

• Select DirectX 12 version
• Select Revenant Reshade preset during installation
• After entering the game, press the Home button to adjust the settings.

Step 7: Visual Effects Module Part 3 (optional)

Install Temporal Super Sampling:

• Copy the ERSS2 folder and .dll file to the game directory
• Rename .dll to .addon
• Adjust zoom and sharpen settings

Step 8: DLL module containing other files

For mods that contain both DLLs and other files:

• Create a dedicated folder
• Add to DLL list and module list at the same time
• Make sure the path is correct

Step 9: Merge Regulation.bin file

Use Smithbox to merge conflicting regulation files:

• Create a new project
• Use the Merge Params function in Param Editor
• Replace the original regulation file
