#THE LONG DARK MODS 2017 INSTALL#

So we understand that people are anxious to see mods, but we ask everyone to be patient with us while we work things out.īold text above is mine, not Hinterland's Also another issue is the game is still under active development, and so we may update the game in some way that breaks existing mods without intending to. People have created mods for The Long Dark, we don't stop them from doing that but we don't allow for them to be promoted here. Thus we do not support, or promote, existing mods on our channels.

While there are people who know enough to be able to break their game and fix it on their own, a large percentage of players don't have that sort of technical skill. Thus installing a mod risks not only breaking your game in some way, but also won't get support from our team to fix it. So we agree that allowing players to mod their own games is a goal, at this point without official mod support we are unable to offer any form of technical support on modded games. That is something we need to figure out on our end, how we want that system to work and our goals with it.

What we would like to have is a way for modders to create mods, and share them and an easy way for players to install them while knowing that installing a mod will not adversely affect their game, or system. We've previously said that working on a system of mod support is something that is a goal for the team. Here's the largest comment I could find from Hinterland The hinterland community replied to the same thread in post #19. The earliest post I found on how Hinterland views mods was July 2018 by IFIYGD in the following thread, post #11. I must say it's been longer than that, as early as mid 2018 or maybe 2017.Īfter searching here in the TLD Steam discussions and on Hinterland's own forum for the last 4 hours this is what I have found on Hinterland's stance about mods. I had thought it was in the past year or two when Hinterland relaxed the ban on discussions about mods.
