Game crashes on Epic with MelonLoader installed - TLD-Mods/FAQs GitHub Wiki

The game uses EOS (Epic Online Services) on Epic that detects MelonLoader and stops the game from running.

In order to play with mods, you can use the Epic Mod Compat plugin. You can download it and place it in the /Plugins folder. This will disable EOS and allow you to run the game with MelonLoader.

But since EOS is disabled, there's no way for the game to check ownership of either TFTFT or Wintermute, so both will be disabled

In order to play the DLC or Wintermute, delete TLDEpicGamesModCompat.dll from the plugins folder and uninstall/disable MelonLoader.
