Card Draft Freeze Fix
A universal utility mod for ROUNDS that prevents the card choice / draft selection screen from freezing empty.
What it Solves
In heavily modded ROUNDS setups, especially when playing with character class packs (like JJK mod, WillsWackyCards, PCE) or deck customization tools (like ToggleCards), a player's card pool can easily get restricted due to category blacklists.
When the game attempts to draw a card for a player whose remaining valid cards in the deck is exactly 0, the card selection screen renders no cards (resulting in an empty UI showing just the zoomed-in player face) and freezes the match permanently.
This mod dynamically patches the card selection algorithm. If a player's card pool runs completely dry due to any mod's filters or blacklists:
- It intercepts the null result.
- It bypasses the active restrictions for this single card spawn.
- It spawns a fallback card (preferring basic vanilla cards like Health or Block) so that the draft selection screen is populated and the game can proceed smoothly without freezing.
Features
- Universal Fix: Works out of the box with JJK Mod, PCE, WillsWackyCards, ToggleCards, and all other custom category/deck builder mods.
- Zero Configuration: Simply install it and it runs in the background.
Dependencies
- BepInEx
- UnboundLib
- ModdingUtils
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:
