About this mod Author’s original text
Keep Running
Stops Enter the Gungeon from pausing when you tab out of the game. Handy for co-op, streaming, or a second monitor.
Settings
In BepInEx/config/keeprunning.etg.cfg (or your mod manager's config editor):
- PauseWhenUnfocused (default false): set to true to get the normal pause-on-tab-out back.
- MuteWhenUnfocused (default true): set to false to keep hearing the game while it's in the background.
Restart the game after changing a setting.
Notes
- Only the automatic pause when you tab out is removed. The pause menu still works normally.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
