- Latest version of Outer Wilds. **We cannot guarantee QSB, or OWML, will work on cracked/pirated versions of Outer Wilds. Do not come asking us for help when using pirated versions.**
QSB relies on object hierarchy to sync objects, so any mod that changes that risks breaking QSB. Also, QSB relies on certain game events being called when things happen in-game. Any mod that makes these things happen without calling the correct events will break QSB. Some mods will work fine and have been tested, like CrouchMod. Others may only work partly, like EnableDebugMode and TAICheat.
Boring boring physics stuff. The velocity of the ship is synced, as well as the angular velocity. However, this velocity is not also applied to the player. (Or it is sometimes. I don't 100% know.) This means the ship will accelerate, leaving the player "behind". Which makes you fly into the walls alot.
QSB is a fully synced game. The other players are actually there in the world, and can affect things. The loop starts/ends at the same time for everyone, and you share ship logs / signal discoveries.
Outer Wilds Online is easier to set up, but much more basic in its features. The other players cannot affect your game, and do not contribute to anything in your save. The loop is entirely per-player.
- (optional if copying built dlls manually) Edit the entry `<OwmlDir>` to point to your OWML directory (it is installed inside the Mod Manager directory)
- (optional if no unity project) Edit the entry `<GameDir>` to point to the directory where Outer Wilds is installed
- (optional if no unity project) Edit the entry `<UnityAssetsDir>` to point to the Assets folder of the QSB unity project
It is recommended to use the Epic version of Outer Wilds, as you cannot run multiple versions of the Steam version.
A powerful PC is needed for development, due to the high amount of RAM and CPU needed to run 2 or 3 instances of modded Outer Wilds.
It is also recommended to lower all graphics settings to minimum, be in windowed mode, and lower resolution to roughly a quarter of your monitor space. This lets you run multiple instances of Outer Wilds to quickly test QSB.
**Warning : Mod development can lead to unexpected errors in your computer system.**
- **When editing the networking code, mistakes can lead to QSB overwhelming your network connection with excess packets**.
- **Too high RAM usage will lead to Outer Wilds sticking at ~31% loading, then crashing**.
- **There have been instances of graphics cards crashing, and needing to be disabled/re-enabled from Device Manager.**
