LC Mic Recovery

LC Mic Recovery is a small BepInEx plugin for Lethal Company. It is designed to recover cases where in-game voice capture becomes stalled or unavailable without requiring a full game restart.

The plugin focuses on conservative recovery behavior. It attempts a local microphone capture reset first, optionally invokes the game's own Dissonance reset path when available, and avoids running recovery while the game is in unsafe transition states.

Features

• Automatic microphone recovery checks while in a valid in-game state.
• Manual recovery hotkey for cases where immediate recovery is needed.
• Local ResetMicrophoneCapture recovery path.
• Optional game-side Dissonance reset when the target method is available.
• Compatibility fallback when game-side reset reflection targets are unavailable.
• Guards for teardown, scene transition, and unstable object states.
• Cooldown handling to avoid repeated recovery spam.

Installation

1. Install BepInExPack for Lethal Company.
2. Install this package with a compatible mod manager, or copy the package contents into your game directory.
3. The plugin DLL should end up under:

BepInEx/plugins/LCMicRecovery/LCMicRecovery.dll

Usage

The plugin runs automatically after installation. If automatic recovery does not restore voice capture in a specific case, use the configured manual recovery key from the plugin configuration.

Configuration is generated by BepInEx after the first launch.

Compatibility Notes

This plugin targets Lethal Company V81-era behavior and relies on BepInEx and Harmony. The game-side reset path uses reflection and may be unavailable if the game changes internal method names or object lifetime behavior.

When the game-side reset path is unavailable, the plugin falls back to local microphone capture reset behavior instead of failing hard.

Troubleshooting

• If voice capture fails after joining or leaving sessions, wait for the game to finish loading or transitioning before using manual recovery.
• If recovery appears to be skipped, check the BepInEx console or log file for cooldown, teardown, missing device, or compatibility messages.
• If Thunderstore reports a package validation issue, confirm that the package root contains manifest.json, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE, icon.png, and BepInEx/.

Scope

LC Mic Recovery is intended to recover microphone capture failures. It does not replace Dissonance, change voice chat networking, or modify lobby behavior.
