Ungodly Ravenfield Installation guide

13 Reference

Update & uninstall

Every part of this install is a file you added, and removing it is deleting that file. No game file is patched, replaced or edited at any point, so there is nothing to repair and no uninstaller to run.

Updating a mod#

Replace the DLL. That is the entire procedure — there is no migration step and nothing to clean up first.

  1. Close the game

    Windows will not overwrite a DLL that is currently loaded, and a half-written plugin file is one of the few ways to produce a genuinely confusing failure.

  2. Copy the new DLL over the old one

    Into BepInEx\plugins\, confirming the replace prompt. Nothing else from the archive needs to move.

  3. Leave the config file exactly where it is

    Settings are matched by name. Anything that still exists keeps your value, anything new appears at its default, and anything removed is ignored. Your tuning carries across.

    Deleting the .cfg is how you reset a mod, not how you update it.

Removing one mod#

Delete its DLL from BepInEx\plugins\. The other mods are unaffected — they share no state and none of them depends on any other.

Ungodly Ravenfield AI BepInEx\plugins\UngodlyRavenfieldAI.dll BepInEx\config\UngodlyRavenfieldAI.cfg
Ungodly Ravenfield Enhanced BepInEx\plugins\UngodlyRavenfieldEnhanced.dll BepInEx\config\com.stixsworldhd.ravenfield.ungodlyenhanced.cfg
Ungodly Ravenfield Gore BepInEx\plugins\UngodlyRavenfieldGore.dll BepInEx\config\UngodlyRavenfieldGore.cfg

Leaving the config file behind costs you nothing and means your settings are waiting if you reinstall later. Deleting it is only worth doing if you want a guaranteed fresh start.

Removing everything#

Five items from the game root, and the modding layer is gone entirely.

    • ravenfield.exeleave — never modified
    • steam_appid.txtleave
    • UnityCrashHandler64.exeleave
    • UnityPlayer.dllleave

Close the game first. After that, launch it normally — it will start as an entirely stock copy, because it always was one with a loader sitting beside it.

Getting a guaranteed-clean copy#

If you would rather not trust a manual delete, or you suspect something else has been changed:

  1. Right-click Ravenfield in your Steam library

    Choose Properties.

  2. Installed Files, then Verify integrity of game files

    Steam checks every file it shipped against its manifest and re-downloads anything that differs. It takes a minute or two for a game this size.

Reinstalling later#

If you kept your config files, reinstalling is just putting the DLLs back — every setting you tuned is waiting for you. If you deleted the whole BepInEx folder, start from the loader install and everything regenerates at defaults.

Either way the process is identical to the first time, and the four folder screenshots on the verification page still apply.

Thanks for playing with them#

All three of these came out of reading Ravenfield's own decompiled source and finding things that were broken, half-finished or never wired up — a skill tier the game implements and never spawns, a prepared defence it builds for every objective and then forgets about, an AI budget that starves the bots exactly when a battle gets interesting. Most of what these mods do is finish work that was already started.

If something here does not behave, the troubleshooting page is the first stop, and the log will usually name the problem outright.
