🎮 Features
The Risk of Rain 2 Launcher Tool lets you tweak your gameplay experience with ease:

- 📝 Item Descriptions: View detailed information when selecting items.
- 💎 Lunar Coins: Automatically apply a custom amount of Lunar Coins each time the game launches.

💾 Persistent Settings
- ⚡ Save Settings: All preferences are saved automatically. Just launch and play next time!
✅ First-Time Setup
Follow these steps when launching the tool for the first time:
📁 Folder Structure
You can place the launcher folder anywhere on your PC.
Important: Keep all files inside the same folder — do not move them individually.
- Run the Launcher
Double-click the Risk of Rain 2.bat file to open the launcher GUI.
- Set Required File Paths
You must define two paths during your first use:
🧩 Set XML File (Save File)
- Click the "Set XML file" button (bottom-right panel).
- Navigate to your Risk of Rain 2 save file folder. By default it is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOUR_STEAM_ID\632360\remote\UserProfiles
- Select the.xml file inside (random-looking filename).
⚠️ Tip: Make a backup of your save file just in case.
⚙️ Set CFG File (Config File)
- Click the "Set CFG file" button.
- Navigate to the config folder. By default it is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Risk of Rain 2\Risk of Rain 2_Data\Config
- Select autoexec.cfg.
❓ Don't see the file?
You can create one manually: Open Notepad and save an empty file in that folder.
Name it: autoexec.cfg
Ensure it's not saved as autoexec.cfg.txt (enable file extensions).
- You're All Set!
Once both paths are set, the launcher is ready to use.
Next time, just double-click Risk of Rain 2.bat — no need to reconfigure anything unless the files were moved or deleted.
ℹ️ Additional Info
- This tool does not access the internet or send data anywhere.
- It's not a mod — just a script that modifies your XML and CFG files safely.
- No installation required. Just run and play.
- Verified on Windows (Steam). Compatibility with other platforms is untested.

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.
