Game: Cyberpunk 2077

PCGamingWiki

Current state

Not all Cyberpunk mods are directly compatible with Mod Organizers virtual file system (USVFS).

In the following "root" refers either to game root (install) folder or the root folder in mods when using RootBuilder.

Compatiblity of mods / frameworks

		USVFS support		RootBuilder
Mod type / framework	Mod files	framework	mods	or copy to root
archive	.archive	–	✔️
redscript	.reds	✔️	✔️
Red4ext	.dll	❌	✔️*	✔️ framework
Cyber Engine Tweaks (CET)	.lua	❌	❌ 1.26 / ✔️ 1.27 *	✔️*
RedMod	mods/*	❌	❌	❌

* Remarks:

• Red4ext: Only the framework (2 .dll files) need to be copied / hard linked to root, dependent mods work with USVFS then.
  • copy or hard link Red4ext framework (bin/x64/winmm.dll and red4ext/RED4ext.dll) to root
• Cyber Engine Tweaks (CET):
  • Cyberpunk v2.01, CET ≥1.27: only CET framework needs to be copies / hard linked into root (all files), mods work with USVFS.
  • Cyberpunk v1.x, CET ≤1.26: is not compatible with USVFS, see CET issue / PR for details.
• RedMod: requires precompilation of script files before game launch
• RootBuilder can be used to automate hard linking / coping into root
  • just place the Red4ext & CET framework files in MO2 in under the folder root

Workarounds and RootBuilder config

• Red4ext installation: place framework (bin/x64/winmm.dll and red4ext/RED4ext.dll) into root

  root/
      x64/winmm.dll
      red4ext/RED4ext.dll
  

Cyberpunk v2.01, CET ≥1.27:

• only (all files) from CET framework itself need to be in root
• CET mods can be installed normally in MO2 and work with USVFS (bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/mods/)
• RootBuilder config:
  • Mode: USVFS + Links / Links^[1] / Copy
  • Exclusions: archive/pc/content,setup_redlauncher.exe,tools
  • (Link extensions: dll,exe)
  • Check Backup, Cache, Autobuild and Redirect

Cyberpunk v1.x, CET ≤1.26:

• all files from CET framework and CET mods need to be in root
• RootBuilder config:
  • Mode: Links^[1] / Copy (not USVFS!)
  • Exclusions: archive/pc/content,setup_redlauncher.exe,tools
  • Check Backup, Cache, Autobuild and Redirect

1: Links = hard links only mode is available with RootBuilder ≥4.5
