Installation Guide
Before you Start
-
Make sure that you visit the collection's page here
-
You will need to manually install both Vortex Mod Manager & Darktide Mod Loader for everything to work. Instructions are listed on the mod page and in the Read Me file included in the mod.
-
If Vortex doesn't recognize Darktide as a game, go here and follow the guide for Vortex.
-
Run "toggle modding (patch/unpatch game files)" on the Dashboard tab of Vortex. If it says "Darktide is already patched" then click "No" and continue. If it says "Darktide is now patched" then continue.
Post-Install
-
After you install everything, click Deploy and then play.
-
You no longer need to worry about load order due to the Auto Mod Loading and Ordering mod.
Updating
-
When the game updates, run the "Toggle Modding" tool on the Darktide Dashboard. If it says "Darktide is already patched" then you don't need to patch.
-
Check for updates with mods regularly, I have the list set to download the latest versions.
