Revision as of 14:00, 10 April 2024

Pre-requisites

Before installing the mod, you'll need to ensure the following:

  • A Discord account.
  • Among Us (Steam, Epic Games, itch.io)

Installing the mod

Windows

  • Extract the downloaded zip file to your desired directory.
  • Open the directory in which you have extracted the zip file and start the launcher executable (AOULauncher.exe).
  • The launcher should now open up and display the path to your Among Us installation
    • If the launcher doesn't recognize your installation of Among Us and is displaying a warning message: Among Us could not be found, click on the warning message, navigate to your Among Us installation and select the executable.
  • Click Install button on the launcher to begin installing the mod.

Linux

WARNING: This guide has not been fully tested.

Additional Pre-requisites

You'll need some additional software if you want to play Launchpad on Linux:

  • A wine installation
  • Protontricks (if you're using Steam)
  • Extract the downloaded zip file to your desired directory.
  • Open a terminal in the directory in which you have extracted the zip file and run wine AOULauncher.exe. The Launcher should open.
    • Absolutely do NOT close the terminal at this stage.
  • There is a pretty big chance the launcher will fail to find Among Us. Click the warning and proceed to navigate to your Among Us installation.
    • Steam - Varies from distro to distro to distro:
      • Ubuntu/Debian based distros: ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/Among Us
      • Fedora ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/Among Us
      • Alternatively, navigate to Among Us' page on Steam, click on the gear icon and click Browse Local Files to find the path to your Among Us installation.
    • Heroic - ~/Games/Heroic/AmongUs
  • Click on install and wait for it to finish. You may close the launcher now.
  • Now, you will have to open winecfg to allow BepInEx to run on game launch:
    • Steam - Open Protontricks, choose Among Us, use the default prefix and open winecfg
    • Heroic - Right click on Among Us, go to Settings and scroll down until you see winecfg and click it
  • Once winecfg is open, go to the Libraries tab and add a new override for winhttp. Then apply, and close winecfg.

Voila! The mod is now installed! Hit launch and enjoy the fun!

Note: Launchpad may take a while to load on the first launch.
