UnmoddedFix
A lightweight utility mod that forces Risk of Rain 2 to remain in an unmodded (vanilla) state, allowing modded and unmodded players to play together in multiplayer.
Features
- Play Together:
- Modded players can join lobbies hosted by unmodded (vanilla) players.
- Unmodded (vanilla) players can join lobbies hosted by modded players.
- Vanilla Status: Removes modded indicator next to the game version and clears the network mod compatibility list.
Note
While this mod bypasses the mod mismatch check so everyone can connect, please only use server-side or client-side mods when playing with vanilla players. Mods that add new items, survivors, or enemies still require all players to have them installed to avoid in-game desyncs.
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:
