votv-shimloader

Warning: This is currently experimental and problems WILL happen. Save often, yada yada.

This is a modloader shim which enables UE4SS mods to function with r2modmanPlus and Thunderstore Mod Manager.

Not using Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modmanPlus?

If you are not using either of the previous mod managers then you can opt for a manual installation. votv-shimloader will load the UE4SS binary for you.

Manual installation:

1. Copy dxgi.dll into the VotV/Binaries/Win64 directory. Its new path should be VotV/Binaries/Win64/dxgi.dll.
2. Copy the contents of the UE4SS folder in the package into VotV/Binaries/Win64.

VotV/Binaries/Win64 should now contain the following new files and folders:

• VotV-Win64-Shipping.exe
• ue4ss.dll
• UE4SS-settings.ini
• dxgi.dll ← This is the votv-shimloader binary. It will load UE4SS for you.
• Mods/
