Game: Cyberpunk 2077

PCGamingWiki

Current state

Many mods for Cyberpunk are not compatible with Mod Organizers virtual file system (USVFS).

Compatiblity of mods / frameworks

Mod type / framework	Mod files	USVFS support	RootBuilder
archive	.archive	✔️
redscript	.reds	✔️
Red4ext	.dll	❌ framew. / ✔️ mods*	✔️ framework
Cyber Engine Tweaks (CET)	.lua	❌	❌ / (✔️ copy*)
RedMod	mods/*	❌	❌

* Notes:

• Red4ext: Only framework needs .dll files copied / hard linked, dependent mods work with USVFS.
  • RootBuilder: hard link or copy mode, only bin/x64/winmm.dll and red4ext/RED4ext.dll have to be moved to root
• Cyber Engine Tweaks (CET): Not compatible with USVFS, see CET issue / PR for details.
  • works only if CET and all dependent mods are copied into game root (UVFS must not prevent writes here)
  • RootBuilder: copy mode, with CET & mods placed in root
• RedMod: requires precompilation of script files before game launch

Workarounds

To use both Red4ext and CET:

• RootBuilder config:
  • Mode: Copy
  • Exclusions: archive/pc/content,setup_redlauncher.exe,tools
  • Check Backup, Cache, Autobuild and Redirect
• Red4ext installation: only bin/x64/winmm.dll and red4ext/RED4ext.dll have to be moved to root
• Mod installation:
  • for CET framework and mods: move everything into root folder
  • other mods can be installed normally

WIP: support plugin upgrade

A better support plugin is still work in progress:

• Cyberpunk support plugin with auto mod installation etc: Pull request #105 might be moved to extra plugin
• CET has an open PR for a USVFS compatibility fix

Version Changelog:

• MO v2.4.0: Added initial plugin
