About this mod Author’s original text

AlwaysHostRandom v2.0.0

Take control of your matchmaking. Every time you click Random Matchmaking the game creates a fresh lobby with you as the host.

What it does

  • Makes Random Matchmaking always create a new open room
  • Makes you the host of that room every single time
  • Avoids the issue where an inactive host locks the matchmaking pool
  • Works quietly in the background while keeping normal joining behavior intact if disabled in config

Notes

  • This affects only you. Other players can still join normally.
  • Host only needs this mod.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
