Installing Perfect Comms

Installing Perfect Comms

Perfect Comms is a standalone BepInEx plugin for Among Us. It does not require MiraAPI or Reactor.

Starting with v4.1.7, Perfect Comms is distributed as a plugin DLL only. It does not include BepInEx.

Tip

If your mod provides BepInEx

1. Close Among Us.
2. Keep the BepInEx installation supplied by the mod or modpack. Do not install or merge another copy over it.
3. Download PerfectComms.dll from the latest release.
4. Place or replace the DLL in BepInEx/plugins.

Installing another BepInEx copy over a modpack can replace its loader, runtime, patchers, or configuration and break the pack.

Important

If BepInEx is not provided

Use this path if your mod does not provide BepInEx, or if you are not using another mod.

1. Download BepInEx 6 Unity IL2CPP from the official BepInEx build page.
2. Choose the build for your platform:
   • Steam or itch.io: Unity.IL2CPP-win-x86
   • Epic Games Store or Microsoft Store: Unity.IL2CPP-win-x64
3. Extract BepInEx directly into the folder containing Among Us.exe.
4. Launch the game once to complete BepInEx setup, then close it.
5. Download PerfectComms.dll from the latest release and place it in BepInEx/plugins.

For more BepInEx setup details, see the official IL2CPP installation guide.

Launch Among Us. A new Perfect Comms installation opens its guided setup from the main menu.

Android DLL install (advanced)

PerfectCommsAndroid.dll is for an existing BepInEx-enabled ARM64 Android mod build. It is not an APK and cannot be installed by tapping the DLL.

1. Start with an Android Among Us mod pack or APK-building workflow that already provides BepInEx.
2. Add PerfectCommsAndroid.dll through that workflow's plugin step so the built app contains BepInEx/plugins/PerfectCommsAndroid.dll.
3. Before the APK is signed, make sure its real manifest declares android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO.
4. Install the rebuilt APK and grant microphone permission when Android asks.

Do not use the desktop PerfectComms.dll on Android. Copying the DLL or a manifest fragment beside an already signed or already installed APK does not add the plugin or microphone permission; the APK must be rebuilt and signed through the Android mod workflow.

Guided setup

On a new install, Perfect Comms walks through five steps: Welcome, Audio, Controls, HUD, and Review. You can select and test audio devices, set talk mode and shortcuts, choose whether desktop keybinds remain active while chat is open, choose whether to show the voice controls, lobby connection status, speaking bar, and meeting overlay, preview a visible speaking bar with a live lobby mockup, then save all choices together. Open Voice Settings > Advanced > First-Time Setup to run the guide again without changing anything unless you finish and save.

Verify it loaded

• The guided setup appears on a fresh install, and Voice Settings is available from the Among Us Options menu afterward.
• A Perfect Comms voice HUD appears in a lobby or game.
• Hosts see Host Voice Settings at the lobby game-settings console (see Host Settings).
• The main menu shows Voice Lobbies.

If those are missing, use BepInEx/LogOutput.log rather than waiting for a console window.

Requirements

Component	Needed by Perfect Comms	Included?
BepInEx 6 (Unity IL2CPP)	Yes	No; keep the version provided by your modpack or download it from the official build page
MiraAPI	No	No
Reactor	No	No
TOU-Mira	No; optional role integration	No

Perfect Comms v4.1.10 supports Among Us 2026.3.31, 2026.6.5, and 2026.8.18 (v18.0.0) with one DLL, and requires BepInEx 6 Unity IL2CPP. Perfect Comms detects supported mods such as TOU-Mira at runtime and enables their voice behavior only when they are present. Those mods provide their own MiraAPI or Reactor dependencies; Perfect Comms does not load or require them.

Updating

The in-game update notice opens the latest-release page; it does not install updates automatically.

• Desktop: close the game and replace BepInEx/plugins/PerfectComms.dll. Keep the existing BepInEx installation unchanged.
• Android: rebuild and reinstall the modded APK with the new PerfectCommsAndroid.dll.

Saved settings remain in the BepInEx config folder when the plugin DLL is replaced.

Uninstalling

Close the game, then remove BepInEx/plugins/PerfectComms.dll on Windows or BepInEx/plugins/PerfectCommsAndroid.dll from the Android mod build. Optionally delete BepInEx/config/com.edgetel.perfectcomms.cfg to remove saved Perfect Comms settings.

Do not remove shared BepInEx files when other installed mods still use BepInEx.

Troubleshooting

• No Voice Settings, voice HUD, or Voice Lobbies: confirm the plugin DLL is directly inside BepInEx/plugins, not one folder deeper. Then check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for load errors.
• No console window: console visibility is controlled by the BepInEx installation supplied by your mod or modpack. Perfect Comms does not require a separate console; use BepInEx/LogOutput.log.
• Can't hear anyone: confirm you are not deafened, check the selected speaker, Speaker Volume, and per-player volume sliders, and confirm the other players use a compatible Perfect Comms version.
• Others can't hear you: confirm you are not muted, hold Push To Talk if selected, check the selected microphone and Mic Volume, and grant operating-system microphone permission.
• Connection is stuck: press F7 to rebuild your local voice session. Refresh has a 10-second cooldown.
• Windows helper is blocked: check whether security software quarantined a Perfect Comms audio helper, then restore or allow it only if it came from the official release.
• Android mic never starts: confirm the rebuilt APK's manifest contains android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, then grant microphone permission in Android settings.
• Installing alongside a role mod: keep the BepInEx, MiraAPI, and Reactor files supplied by that mod. Do not install duplicate copies for Perfect Comms.
