Hi everyone! After quite a pause in Dustmod update while I worked on making multiplayer work, I want to start pushing Dustmod updates again that contain the multiplayer logic.  Unfortunately due to including engine builds now it would be difficult for me to make the in game updater work so you’ll need to grab an appropriate archive below to install manually (future updates again will work in game).

Dustmod Archives

Pick the archive suitable for your version of Dustforce and copy the contained files into your Dustforce direction (the directory that contains the Dustforce executable).  Note that the installation now sits side by side with the existing installation of Dustforce so you can easily switch between vanilla or Dustmod.  If you’re playing on Steam you might like to add the Dustmod executable to your game launcher by navigating to “Games” ->  to “Add a Non-Steam Game to my Library” and finding the dustmod executable, typically at “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dustforce\dustmod.exe”).  Steam will still recognize the game as Dustforce once the game is running.

• Windows Steam [64-bit] (DirectX 9 the same as vanilla Dustforce)

• A ton of smaller things I don’t remember

Notes On Multiplayer

I’m still working on multiplayer so many things may not work.  You’re welcome to try it out but please understand that you may run into technical issues in addition to the lobby system being fairly simplistic.
