📦 Installation and use

**Prerequisites**:

  • Community ScriptHookRDR2.NET must be installed.

**Installation steps**:

  • Place the `DifficultyScaler.dll` and `DifficultyScaler.ini` files into the game's `scripts` folder.
  • **Rockstar Games version**: The path is usually `Program Files\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\scripts`.
  • **Steam version**: The path is the `scripts` folder in the directory where `RDR2.exe` is located.
  • If there is no `scripts` folder in the directory, create one manually (all lowercase).

**How ​​to use**:

  • **Default Hotkey**: **F10**. After pressing, the current status and value will be displayed.
  • After modifying the value in the `DifficultyScaler.ini` file, press the hotkey switch once to make the update effective.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

  • **Numerical description**: The value in the INI file is **magnification**, and the default value of all items is **1**.
  • **Note for non-US keyboard area users**: If your system does not use **dot (.)** as a decimal point (for example, use a comma), **please do not use the .ini file that comes with the module**. When loading for the first time, only put in the .dll file, and the program will automatically generate a default .ini file that matches your system regional settings. This issue will be fixed in subsequent versions.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
