If you're a fan of online multiplayer horror games like *Content Warning* and *Lethal Company*, then *R.E.P.O.* is right up your alley. And if you've ever wished for a larger squad to tackle the scares, you're in luck. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to use the lobby size mod in *R.E.P.O.* to enhance your gaming experience.
Installing the More Players Mod in R.E.P.O.
By default, *R.E.P.O.* generously allows up to six players in a lobby. But what if you want to invite even more friends into the fray? That's where the More Players mod comes in handy.
To get started, you'll need to download and install BepInEx, a mod framework tool available on Thunderstore. Follow these steps to install the mod:
- Download and install BepInEx.
- Download the More Players mod from Thunderstore.
- Open the .zip file containing the mod.
- Drag the plugins folder to the BepInEx directory in your game files.
Once you've completed these steps, the More Players mod will be successfully installed in your game, ready to expand your lobby size.
How to Increase Lobby Size
Now that the mod is installed, you can adjust the lobby size by tweaking the config files on your computer. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the BepInEx config folder.
- Use Notepad to open the file named zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg.
- Locate the line labeled "Maximum Players" and change the number to your desired lobby size.
- Save the file and then launch the game.
For example, if you want to accommodate eight players, simply change the number to 8. Be cautious, however; setting the number too high might cause the game to crash, so adjust it accordingly to ensure smooth gameplay.
And that's how you can use the lobby size mod in *R.E.P.O.* to bring more players into your horror adventures. For more tips and detailed information about the game, including strategies to handle all the monsters, be sure to check out The Escapist.
