If you are not on Windows or you would like to join your own server, start the game as normal. Follow the instructions on there and your server will be up for everyone to join. Now, instead of choosing to play the game, choose to launch the dedicated server hoster. If you are on Windows and would like to host a dedicated server (one which you yourself cannot join), first find RFMP in your Steam library and click play. To do so, check the various links and posts in #faq on the RFMP discord server. Visual Studio 2019+ is recommended.NET 4.6 is required.The first step to host a server is to forward port 7777 (unless you want to play over LAN, in which case ignore this paragraph). The settings chosen by the host will reflect on your own options. At this point, you cannot edit any of the options in the Instant Action page except for your team. Press Join and paste the Lobby ID of an existing lobby. Go to the Instant Action menu and press M. Starting the game will put everyone in the lobby in a match and terminate the lobby. Other players can connect with the Lobby ID. At this point, you cannot exit the Instant Action page without leaving the lobby. After pressing Start, you will be put into a lobby. Press Host and choose whether the lobby is friends only or not. Despite this, no port-forwarding is required! All data is routed through the Steam relay servers, which means fast, easy and encrypted connections with DDoS protection and Steam authentication. All other players will connect to the host during the match. This player will control the behaviour of all the bots, the game parameters, and the current game state.

To play together, one player must be the host. The mod relies entirely on Steam to transfer game data and mods securely between players. Please be aware pirated/non-official copies of Ravenfield may encounter issues when using RavenM. Tl dr: The connection menu is opened with M while in the Instant Action menu.

Run the game and RavenM should now be installed. Optionally, you may also place RavenM.pdb to generate better debug information in the logs. Next, place RavenM.dll into Ravenfield/BepInEx/plugins/. As per the instructions, make sure to run the game at least once with BepInEx installed before adding the mod to generate config files. First, install BepInEx into Ravenfield following the installation instructions here. This mod depends on BepInEx, a cross-platform Unity modding framework. Please ensure to install the latest version of BepInEx 5.x.x to complete the installation. Important Note: RavenM does not support BepInEx version 6. There are a lot of bugs and opportunities to crash, so please report anything you find! Installing
