FAQ
| Q | A |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Can vanilla friends still join me? | Yes. Steam invites work the same; they don’t need the mod unless they want matchmaking. |
| Will I interrupt a mission? | No. If the host set Join Window: Airport Only, MATCHMAKE skips their lobby until they return to the airport. |
| Does this affect Solo or Friends Only host settings? | No, those remain private and function the same as vanilla.

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:
