Lemnis Gate has been discontinued since the April 11 2023, with the developers stating that the PC players will be completely unable to play.
With all due respect, I'd like to disagree.
Salvage Ops is a mod set designed to bring the game back to a functional state and provide access to unreleased WIP content.
Current scope is:
- Allow Peer-to-Peer multiplayer through Steam and LAN, featuring spectator role
- Unlock 63 playable map prototypes with 2 unreleased play modes
- Unlock beta-only "Chameleon company" customization tree for every character
- Make it playable on Steam Deck (on Linux in general)
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you and the people you want to play with own the game on Steam, installing the mod is optional. You can just change one text file to unlock Steam P2P and WIP content. Refer to this guide.
- Locate the game folder. For Steam, you can do that by right-clicking the game in your library, click
Properties
, openInstalled Files
tab and clickBrowse...
button - (Optional, Windows-only) If there is an
EasyAntiCheat
folder, uninstall it. Open theEasyAntiCheat
folder, launchEasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe
, click theUninstall
button in the left bottom corner in the EAC window, close the window, delete theEasyAntiCheat
folder - Download
SalvageOps.zip
from the Releases tab - Move the contents of the archive to the folder of game (to the root one that contains
LemnisGate.exe
), agree to replace the files
Target game version: 1.3.26342
. We don't expect further updates, but if your Steam version of the game differs from this one, chances are the developers are intentionally trying to break this patch and changes may be required.
If your version of the game is different, please let me know about it through Issues
tab at the top of the page.
- Launch the game through Steam (Make sure all players have launched the game with Steam and not by clicking the
.exe
files) - Make sure everybody you want to play with is in your Steam Friend's list, is online and shown to be playing
Lemnis Gate
- Click
P2P (DEV)
menu option - To host a game, use
Create Session
ingame tab to create a match - To join a game, use
Join Session
ingame tab to find the match. Inviting and joining through Steam overlay will NOT work - Upon joining, match will be restarted
If at least one of the players does not have a game available in Steam:
- This solution requires full mod installation, just changing the config file won't cut it
- Launch the game by clicking the
LemnisGate.exe
in game folder. (Make sure all players have launched the game throughLemnisGate.exe
and not through Steam) - Make sure everybody is online in Steam and shown to be playing
Spacewar
(Spacewar's appID usage is allowed for developers' needs, see Steamworks documentation, there is no known cases of bans for that) - Continue following the instructions above, starting with
P2P (DEV)
menu option - It won't work on Linux. If you really desperate to run Lemnis Gate as Spacewar on Linux, there is a special silly guide. If anyone knows the better way, please let me know.
- Does NOT require Steam at all
- This will work if you are physically on the same network, or connected to the same virtual private network together, by using tools like ZeroTier or Hamachi
- The firewall can be a problem, the host may need to disable it
This will require full mod installed, and additional setup for everyone involved:
- Open the game folder
- From here, proceed to
Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\Steamworks\Steamv147\Win64
- Open the
DLL_LAN
folder, copysteam_api64.dll
, get back and paste it toWin64
folder, agree to replace the file - (Should you change you mind and want to use Steam P2P again, do the same, but copy the
steam_api64.dll
fromDLL_STEAM
folder instead) - From
Win64
folder, go tolan_config\settings
, open theaccount_name.txt
and enter the desired nickname - Done. Continue following the instructions above, starting with
P2P (DEV)
menu option - If you copied the game folder to another computer and can't find the lobby, while being sure that it's not a connection problem, having the same ID in "user_steam_id.txt" file might be the cause. Make sure to delete that file from the game's folder archive or change any few digits in it on the other's PCs so they differ. Check out the issue wafflecomposite#2 for more info.
- Inviting and joining through Steam overlay will NOT work, use the ingame
P2P (dev)
menu EasyAntiCheat client integrity error
in main menu. (just pressOk
)- Modded game may open Frontier's issue tracker page in your default browser after the end of P2P match (you can just close it)
- LAN P2P match can sometimes show your PC device name for whatever reason. If that might be a problem for you, open the search bar, search for
about your pc
, open the settings and press theRename this PC
button - Some videos (usually on the loading screens) may not play on Steam Deck/Linux, instead showing a colorful table. This does not affect gameplay.
- Occasional freezes if you finished a match, went to the menu, and tried to create a new lobby with a prototype map
