Frequently Asked Questions

I am a user

Q: I don't want to install the XYZ mod, but the server keeps trying to download it. How do I stop that?

A: No problem! Just add the file/folder path of the mod you don't want downloaded to your local exclusions file

Q: I want to download all of the server mods in addition to client mods so that I can keep playing whenever our server is offline.

A: Check the BepInEx configuration. If user/mods is listed there, just enable it and restart your game to download the server files.

Q: I installed ModSync and I'm getting stuck on the "Bundle Loading" screen. Why does it take so long?

A: ModSync doesn't touch the bundle loading process. In fact, I've taken specific steps to avoid messing with how bundles are downloaded. If you are seeing this screen you are dealing with an SPT issue, not a ModSync issue. Strategies for dealing with it can be found in the FIKA discord server

Q: I'm getting an error when using ModSync, what do I do?

A: Go ahead and post a message in the ModSync thread on the FIKA discord server with your BepInEx/LogOutput.log and ModSync_Data/ModSync.log, and either myself or another member of the community will do our best to help you.
