• []Extract the mod manager anywhere (if you're upgrading from an old version, simply extract it over the older version).

  []Before running the mod manager for the first time, ensure all PAK files in your DMC5 install are unmodified (to easily do this, right-click the game in Steam and choose "verify file integrity").

  []Copy mods to "\Games\DMC5\Mods" (note that not all mods are compatible with the mod manager, that's up to the mod authors to ensure).

  []Run mod manager, click on "Manage Mods" and click on mods to install or uninstall them.

  What to do if DMC5 gets patched when you don't have mods installed:

  • []Click on "re-read game archives" in the "manage mods" menu in the mod manager.

    []Installing and uninstalling mods should work again. Note that some mods may not be compatible with a new version of the game.

    What to do if DMC5 gets patched when you have mods installed:

    • []Try to uninstall a mod via the mod manager. You should get an error message about a PAK file being different.

      []Turn on the "force uninstall" option at the top of the manage mods menu.

      []Click on "uninstall all mods".

      []This shouldn't be necessary, but just as a precaution, I suggest right-clicking the game in Steam and selecting "verify file integrity".

      []Click on "re-read game archives" in the "manage mods" menu in the mod manager.

      []Installing and uninstalling mods should work again. Note that some mods may not be compatible with a new version of the game.

      Info for mod creators: If you click on "mod downloads" you can download a mod which gives you a good example of how a mod should be structured.[]If you click on "mod downloads" you can download a mod which gives you a good example of how a mod should be structured.

      []Note that the modinfo.ini file is optional (and all entries within it are optional too).

      []Mod manager will always check for a "screenshot.jpg" or "screenshot.png" to use as mod preview image even if modinfo.ini doesn't exist.

      []It is highly recommended you compress mods into RAR archives with the "solid archive" option set to off (which should be the default in WinRAR).
