How to play modded post update

By 『 Root 』

the recent update has made it so that mods as they currently stand are unplayable. (this is to be expected when a game updates) This guide will explain how you can still enjoy the old mods post update.

Beta Branch

As of 2024/3/25 you can now access the old build of ROUNDS via a beta branch. To do so, right click on the game in steam. Select properties, then beta, and under Beta Participation set it to "old-rounds-for-mods"

this is all you need to do, steam will download the old version and you can continue playing mods as normal without worrying about updates. To get back to the current version simply revert the setting.

The rest of the guide will remain here for historical reasons, but is no longer needed.

Important

Please read the entire guide before continuing. Doing just step 1 will not be enough to get mods working.

Downloading the old version.

To start with, you will need to open the steam console. you can do so by pressing Win + R and typing

steam://open/console

into the run dialogue box. alternatively pasting this into the url bar of your web browser should work.

once you do that, you should see a CONSOLE tab at the top of steam. click it and enter the command

download_depot 1557740 1557741 8703385561169526803

This will tell steam to download the old build of rounds. it should print out

Downloading depot 1557741 (325 MB) ...

and then eventually (this may take a long time, and steam will provide no feedback till it is done) something similar to

Depot download complete : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_1557740\depot_1557741" (300 files, manifest 8703385561169526803)

Make note of the location, it will be needed for the final section of this guide.

Downgrading

As of right now, you have to chose between being able to play modded and being able to play vanilla. To play modded you must overwrite the game's files with the ones you downloaded during part 1. Right click on ROUNDS in steam, go to manage > browse local files. delete everything in that folder, then copy the files over from the depot you downloaded. you will now have the old 2021 build of rounds. If you ever want to go back to playing vanilla, simply tell steam to uninstall then reinstall the game.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little boy called Joey, he was ten-years-old and he lived in a mental hospital because he posted a shitty copypasta onto a People Playground mod's comment section . He got so bad he went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Feds decided that best idea was to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill him, as inhumane as possible. And he sat there in agony for hours until he died. Now every week on the day of his death he returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00 a.m. He creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by pegging you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and he will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes nothing will happen: sorry man i am not taking the risk

how can I do this on the steam deck? I'm trying to play modded so we can play more then one run without resetting but I cant seem to make this work on it.

Once you change to the BETA.. you have to go into your Appdata folder for Landfall Games/Rounds and delete the "Unity" folder. "C:\Users\<YOURUSER>\AppData\LocalLow\Landfall Games\Rounds" once you delete this Unity folder then launch the game from Thunderstore "Modded" launch and all the mods will work again.

Brian Moser 26 May, 2024 @ 6:00am

it doesnt work i've tried literally everything, my friends got it to work but it just doesn't work for me???? can anyone help?

TheNamelessThing 25 Apr, 2024 @ 1:17am

My friend and I tried it. We succeeded and the mods work for me, but not for him. We can play together without mods (I don't think you can play together if they are not the same version of the game)

Amazing guide, thanks! But now I am facing the problem that my controller does not work, Keyboard and mouse work just fine, but maybe it just doesn't see my controller anymore?
