Crowd Control Setup Guides

1. Start with the App

• Open the Crowd Control desktop app.

• Select DOOM (2016) and the DOOM2016 pack.

• Follow the Auto Setup checklist.

• Launch the game through Steam or the Crowd Control app.

• The mod connects automatically once a live campaign level is running.

2. Test Before You Stream

• Press Start Session.

• Load into a campaign level.

• Test several effects before going live.

• Check the in-game effect feed for connection and effect status.

Mod Compatibility

• Uses a native dinput8.dll proxy.

• Does not use BepInEx or MelonLoader.

• Other tools that replace or wrap dinput8.dll may conflict.

Game Version

• Tested with the current Steam build.

• Vulkan and OpenGL executables are supported.

• Single player campaign is supported.

• Multiplayer is not supported.

• If a game update breaks the pack, request support with the game version.

Common Issues

• Effects wait while the game is loading, paused, menu-focused, or the player is dead.

• DOOM pauses simulation when unfocused. Keep the game focused while testing effects.

• Some demons only exist on certain maps. Unavailable demon effects may answer Retry or disappear from the menu.

• The on-screen effect feed needs borderless or windowed mode.

Uninstall

• Use the Crowd Control app trash icon for Auto Setup installs.

• Manual installs can delete dinput8.dll, CrowdControl.ini, ccver, and doom2016_cc_tcp.log from the game folder.
