Virality

A better multiplayer mod for Content Warning

Features

• Bigger lobby sizes (configurable limit)
• Late joining (configurable on/off)

Notes

• Required by all players to work properly!
• Supports all vanilla player features (i.e. showing up in video comments, hospital bills, etc...)
• Only 4 players need to sleep to progress the day

Photon server limit

At the time of writing, the Photon server limit is 4 players. This was set a couple of days after the game's release due to heavy Photon server loads - presumably due to bigger lobby mods. There is no way to bypass this limit on the base game's servers.

If you do not use the workaround mentioned below, you will be limited to 4 players, and will have to change your Virality config to match this limit.

Workaround

However, you can run your own Photon servers by following the instructions on the Self Sufficient mod page, and using said mod together with Virality. Doing this will bump the maximum player limit to 16.

Requirements

• BepInEx LTS (5.4.22 or 5.4.21)
• Self Sufficient (optional, but currently necessary for bigger lobbies)

Credits

• Day -- Bed patches, support, testing
• sovenance -- Mod name idea
