Valve Anti-Cheat setup for mods

A setup guide by Bytonian Mods

Browse all setup guides

Use the game’s documented unprotected mode. The exact launch setting depends on the game.

You can use mods in single-player, when hosting, or in supported co-op. When joining someone else’s game, do not use mods for an unfair advantage against other players. Follow the game’s rules; disabling anti-cheat does not remove account-ban risk.

  1. Close the game completely.
  2. Find your game below and use its documented launch setting for unprotected play. Do not copy launch arguments from another game.
  3. Start the game with that setting, then connect it in Bytonian Mods. Use single-player, your own hosted game or co-op, as supported by the game and mod.

When you finish

Before protected play, close the game, turn off mods in Bytonian Mods, restore the normal launch settings, and reopen it.

If your game has no supported launch mode without anti-cheat, contact support before using mods.
