About this mod Author’s original text
Steam API Upgrade
Provides an updated version of the Steamworks SDK, granting access to new features such as the Steam timeline API. In order to accomplish this, an up-to-date (v1.61) copy of the SDK is shipped as steam_api64_patched.dll. Additionally, Facepunch.Steamworks is updated to v2.4.1 and modified to reference the patched SDK. The corresponding netcode library is similarly patched. This mod uses preloader patches to completely replace the files—be wary mixing it with other mods which rely on or modify these files.
⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️
Currently, only 64-bit Windows is supported by this mod. Future updates are planned to bring broader compatibility.
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:
