LateGamePerformance

Performance, fixes, and quality-of-life for Risk of Rain 2. Every change comes from the game's own code.

Settings

Press F4 at any time. Pick a feature on the left. Set its values on the right. A switch takes effect at once, with no restart, and every change saves by itself. The page uses the game's own panel, font, and colors, and it scales with the screen.

Stat points have their own window. You spend them as you play, so they are not a setting. A badge appears on screen when you have points waiting. Click the badge, or press F3.

The page lists the gameplay features only. The performance fixes have no downside and no effect on play, so they stay on. Click "Show fixes and tuning" to see them, or edit the config file at BepInEx/config/com.tim.LateGamePerformance.cfg.

The damage meter shows during a run. F5 hides it. The performance readout starts closed. F6 shows it. Its log line runs either way.

What it does

Eighteen independent patch groups. Each has an on/off switch in the config file (BepInEx/config/com.tim.LateGamePerformance.cfg). Seventeen are on by default. Sharing is off, because it changes the balance of a run for every player in the game. Turn it on in the F4 page if you want it.

Fixes and quality of life

Requirements

• BepInEx 5 (BepInExPack for Risk of Rain 2)

No other mod is required.

Install

With a mod manager (recommended):

1. Install r2modman and set it up for Risk of Rain 2.
2. Install BepInExPack from the online list.
3. Use "Settings" > "Import local mod" and select this zip.
4. Start the game through the mod manager.

Manual install:

1. Install BepInExPack into the game folder.
2. Copy LateGamePerformance.dll into BepInEx\plugins\LateGamePerformance\.
3. If no plugin loads and the log reports a missing Newtonsoft.Json, put the official Newtonsoft.Json.dll (v12+) into BepInEx\core\.

In multiplayer each player can run the mod on their own. The AI and pathfinding fixes act on the machine that hosts the game. The visual fixes act on each machine that has the mod.

Compatibility notes

• The mod replaces five methods whole. Another mod that patches the inside of one of these methods loses its changes. Turn off the group named beside it if a conflict appears.

  Method	Group
  BullseyeSearch.RefreshCandidates	TargetSearchGc
  BullseyeSearch.GetResults	TargetSearchGc
  DamageNumberManager.SpawnDamageNumber	DamageNumberBatch
  NodeGraphNavigationSystem.UpdateAgents	NavPathBudget
  CharacterModel.OnSceneCameraPreRender	ModelCameraPass

  Patches on CheckVisible and CheckLoS stay effective.

• Run one item-sharing mod at a time. Sharing and ShareSuite both grant their own copy of a pickup, so together they give two. Sharing is off by default, so this only matters if you turn it on.

• A mod that adds a postfix to Util.GetItemCountForTeam can apply its adjustment twice while a cached value lives. Turn off TeamItemCountCache in that case.

• FixedTimeCatchup is a local setting, like a graphics option. In multiplayer each player runs their own value.

• A larger HealthBarThrottle interval slows the trailing damage bar. The range stops at 0.1 s for this reason.

Multiplayer

The ten performance groups change no damage, no spawn, no drop, and no networked decision. Path timing and raycast timing change only on the machine that simulates the AI (the host). Clients keep full vanilla behavior for all server-authoritative state.

Three groups do change play, and the host decides for the whole game:

Uninstall

Remove the mod at any time. This is safe.

The game keeps intro_skip and splash_skip in its own config.cfg. Those two switches break a vanilla start if they stay on. The mod writes them back to off before the game saves that file. The file always holds the vanilla value.

Delete BepInEx\plugins\LateGamePerformance\. Delete BepInEx\config\com.tim.LateGamePerformance.cfg as well if you do not plan to return. Stat points last for one run and store nothing.

Changelog

1.5.0

• The menus are rebuilt on the game's own interface. They now use the game's panel, font, and colors. Those come from the skin asset the game uses for its own screens. They also scale with the screen by themselves. The old fixed canvas is gone, and the pages stay the right size at any resolution.
• Every page moved across: the settings page, the damage meter, the performance readout, and the stat point badge.
• Stat points keep their own window, rebuilt on the game's interface. You spend points as you play, so they are not a setting. They do not sit inside the settings page. The badge and F3 open the window. The badge hides while the window is up.
• The performance readout starts closed. Press F6 to show it. The log line still runs either way, so a long run leaves its record.
• Settings show as proper controls: switches, sliders with a value, and a key binder that waits for a key press.
• Money sharing has a scale. At 1 every player receives the full amount of every payment. That multiplies the group's buying power by the player count. Set it to 1 divided by your player count to match the split the base game uses.
• Sharing is off by default now. It changes the balance of a run for every player in the game, so the host turns it on.
• Fixed: the game saved intro_skip and splash_skip as on. Both carry the archive flag. The value went into the game's own config file. It stayed there after the mod was removed. A vanilla start with those switches on lands on the profile screen and loses character materials. The mod now writes them back to off before every save. The file always holds the vanilla value, and the game in play keeps the skip.
• Only the host can spend stat points. Every machine kept its own count, and none of them reached the machine that runs the game. So a player who joined paid a point and got nothing. That player now sees the window, the level, and the points earned. The buttons stay off, and the reason shows on screen. The badge stays hidden there.
• Fixed: a closed page still caught mouse clicks. A hidden canvas still answers the pointer. So the settings page and the stat point window kept taking clicks after they closed.

1.4.0

• New: a damage meter. A table on screen shows the damage each player did on the stage you are on. It also gives the share of the total. Two more columns show damage per second: one over the stage, one over the last six seconds. A bar behind each row runs the full width for the player at the top. Everybody else gets a part of it. Minion damage counts toward the player who owns the minion. Press F5 to hide the table.
• New: a performance readout. Frame time, frames per second, and the worst frame of the last ten seconds. Also the worst frame of the run, live character counts, and garbage collection. It writes a line to the log every thirty seconds as well, so a long run leaves a record. Press F6 to hide the panel.
• New: cheaper character drawing. The camera walked over every character twice per frame, and measured hurtbox distances even for characters that draw nothing. Now it walks once and skips the measurement for anything off screen. The overlay scan, which reads about twenty-five buffs per character, runs on a frame stride instead of every frame. The hit flash stays exact.
• Sharing: Void Fields, Simulacrum waves, and Scavenger bags no longer multiply. The base game drops one reward for each player, because players compete for them. So with sharing on, a group of four received four times what it should.
• Sharing: equipment can now be shared as well. Off by default. The equipment it replaces drops on the floor next to its owner.
• Sharing: a switch for printer, cauldron, and scrapper output. Off by default, because one player paid for it.

1.3.1

• Fixed a boot failure caused by the intro skip. The game's own intro_skip switch changes to the title scene before startup is complete. That throw stopped the startup routine, which left the player on the profile creation screen and every character without materials. The skip now waits for the load to finish.
• The logo screen is cut by default. It is safe now, and it no longer holds the boot after the load is done.

1.3.0

• Replaced skill mastery with character stat points. Earn a point every few levels and spend it on health, regeneration, damage, attack speed, crit, armor, or move speed. Points can be taken back.
• A badge shows on screen while points are waiting. Click it, or press F3, for a small window to spend them.
• The sprint key reverses: you sprint by default and hold the key to walk.
• All gold is shared now, including the kill gold the game used to split between players. This matches full item sharing.
• The intro skip uses the game's own skip switches, so the ship cutscene no longer plays. The engine logo is cut short as well. The game's logo screen stays, because it covers save loading, and cutting it drops you on the profile creation screen. There is a switch for anyone who wants it anyway.
• Settings live in the mod's own menu on F4. The Risk of Options dependency is gone.
• The menu lists gameplay features only. Fixes and performance stay on.
• Menus scale with the screen, so they stay readable above 1080p.

1.2.0

• New: a settings menu. Press F4 in game. Install Risk of Options and the settings also appear in the game options screen.
• Features switch on and off while the game runs. No restart.
• Skill mastery levels now also raise that skill's damage and give armor.
• Money sharing is on by default.

1.1.0

• New: SkipIntro. The game boots straight to the title screen.
• New: CritOverstack. Crit chance above 100 percent converts into extra crit damage.
• New: BugFixes. Guards for seven vanilla exception sources.
• New: Sharing. Item sharing with tier filters, optional money sharing. Host-side only.
• New: EmptyChests. Spent chests, barrels, and multishops despawn.
• New: AutoSprint. Sprint holds by itself while moving.
• New: SkillMastery. Skill slots level up through use, for all survivors including modded ones.
• Target searches now skip hurtboxes without a health component.

1.0.0

• First release.
• Eight patch groups: BuffStatsFilter, NavPathBudget, TargetSearchGc, DamageNumberBatch, RaycastThrottle, HealthBarThrottle, TeamItemCountCache, FixedTimeCatchup.
