Locater Fix

Unofficial, client-side companion patch for Locater by Hyru. This is a separate plugin; the original Locater must remain installed and enabled.

Fixes

• Stops the ChargeIndicatorController.Update null-reference spam caused by Locater deleting parts of the indicator prefab while its teleporter updater keeps running.
• Preserves Locater marker colors and hides the unused charge/ping text.
• Removes Locater's leftover scene-population test hook that attempts to spawn test chests.

The patch targets Locater's own marker method and exact test hook. It does not patch the game's native teleporter indicators or remove other mods' scene hooks.

Installation

Install Locater Fix with r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager and allow its dependencies. Keep Hyru-Locater 1.3.5 enabled, then restart the game.

Manual installation: install the dependencies first, then put plugins/LocaterFix.dll in BepInEx/plugins.

If you used our earlier private binary repair, reinstall official Locater 1.3.5 before using this plugin. Do not keep duplicate copies of Locater. The original package may still show its existing Deprecated label.

Supported version and validation

Version 1.0.0 only accepts the official Locater 1.3.5 DLL (SHA-256 795383f173adc9b9ac50ace3b426993105ef362fd3578e9a0a2bef3896d24599). Unknown or updated binaries are rejected with a log message so the patch does not silently target changed code.

Validation details for this release are in VALIDATION.md. This is a focused compatibility repair, not a full rewrite or a guarantee that every original Locater feature supports every game update. Multiplayer and long sessions have not been validated.
