CheatsInstallation
Begin with a clean, vanilla installation of Suzerain. This mod is not compatible with MelonLoader-based mods (such as "Suzerain Modding Kit").
-
Visit the Releases page on GitHub and download the latest With Modloader release. It will be named something like:
SuzerainUnbound_v1.x.x_WithModloader.zip
-
Extract the contents of the zip file directly into your main Suzerain directory — the folder containing
Suzerain.exe. -
(Optional) To enable or disable specific patches, open the configuration file in a plain text editor (such as Notepad) and edit to taste:
Suzerain/BepInEx/config/com.onehalf.suzerainunbound.cfg
-
Launch the game. On the first boot, wait 1–2 minutes for BepInEx to initialize. If everything is installed correctly, a second console window will appear alongside the game window.
After a Game Update
If Suzerain receives an update, Suzerain Unbound will stop working. The safest approach is to fully uninstall BepInEx (see below), then install a new "With Modloader" release once one is available.
Make a copy of your configuration file if you'd like to keep your settings. (Note: After reinstalling, it is better to modify the new configuration file instead of overwriting it with the backup, as updates may add new options.)
Uninstalling
To temporarily disable BepInEx without uninstalling, rename the BepInEx folder to something else (e.g. zBepInEx). The mod loader will not run until you rename it back.
To disable only Suzerain Unbound, remove the DLLs from the plugins folder:
Suzerain/BepInEx/plugins/SuzerainUnbound.dll Suzerain/BepInEx/plugins/DiscordRPC.dll Suzerain/BepInEx/plugins/Newtonsoft.Json.dll
To fully revert to vanilla, delete the following items from your Suzerain directory, then re-verify files on Steam if needed:
BepInEx/ (folder) dotnet/ (folder) .doorstop_version doorstop_config.ini winhttp.dll
Known Issues
-
Fix Camera Edge Pan
The
stopAtEdgemode has only been confirmed to work on Windows. Mac users may still benefit from it for focus-loss cases (Alt-Tab, window switching), but behavior with multi-monitor hover has not been tested. - Downloading Unity Base Libraries On the first launch of a new installation, BepInEx must download the Unity base libraries before it can launch. This download may fail if you are using a VPN, so disable your VPN if BepInEx is unable to download the libraries.
Experiencing an issue that isn't listed here? Submit an issue report if a patch is broken and you are using the correct version of Suzerain Unbound for your game (see Compatibility). Include log files from the Suzerain/BepInEx folder in your report, along with any relevant save files.
Compatibility
Suzerain Unbound will break if the game receives a major update. If the latest release is outdated, you must disable or uninstall BepInEx entirely to play vanilla Suzerain in the interim.
Disclaimer & License
These patches are not guaranteed to be 100% safe. While damage to save files is very unlikely, it is always a good idea to back up your saves before modding. If you cannot accept these risks, do not use Suzerain Unbound.
Patches such as Force Achievements will permanently alter your Steam user profile. You may need a tool such as Steam Achievement Manager to revert those changes.
