how to run bloodcraft on private game with r2modman

You can usually run Bloodcraft on a private V Rising game with r2modman by launching the modded profile, making sure the game folder matches Steam’s install folder, and enabling the extra Bloodcraft options in r2modman’s config editor. A Reddit guide also notes that for private local servers you may need ServerLaunchFix , and Bloodcraft features like leveling or prestige are off by default until you turn them on in the config.

Setup steps

  1. Install Bloodcraft in r2modman and make sure the mod profile is selected.
  2. Run the game once with Bloodcraft enabled.
  3. In r2modman, open Config Editor and edit the Bloodcraft config.
  4. Enable the features you want, since Bloodcraft is modular and many systems are disabled by default.
  5. If you are using a private local server, install ServerLaunchFix too.

Private game notes

For a private game, the key is that the mod has to load on the same side the server uses, and the game directory in r2modman must point to the same folder Steam uses. The official troubleshooting page says to start the game with Start modded inside r2modman, and to verify the game directory through Steam’s local files path if things do not load correctly.

A forum workaround for private play suggests launching your own server, placing the mods in the server folder, then connecting to it normally; that same post also mentions using admin auth and entering commands in chat rather than the console.

If it fails

If Bloodcraft still does not work, check these first:

  • The r2modman profile is the one you are actually launching.
  • The game folder in r2modman matches Steam’s browse-local-files path.
  • The launch argument box in Steam is empty unless your setup specifically needs one.
  • ServerLaunchFix is installed for private/local server play.
  • Bloodcraft features are enabled in the config editor, not assumed to be on by default.

Simple example

If you start a private server and Bloodcraft loads but none of the progression systems appear, the most likely fix is to open the mod’s config in r2modman and turn those systems on manually. That is consistent with the mod being modular, rather than fully enabled out of the box.

Bottom line

The shortest path is: install Bloodcraft, start the game through Start modded , set the correct game folder, add ServerLaunchFix for private/local server play, and enable the Bloodcraft features in the config editor.
