Crowd Control Setup Guides

1. What You Need

• Enshrouded 1.0 or later (Steam). Servers use the free Enshrouded Dedicated Server app.

• ShroudForge 1.7.9 or newer, the community mod loader — the setup installs it automatically (MIT-licensed open source).

• A free Crowd Control account. Streamers install and link through the desktop app; a dedicated server itself needs no app.

2. Start with the App (single-player and co-op hosts)

• Open the Crowd Control desktop app.

• Select Enshrouded from the game list.

• Follow the Auto Setup checklist (left side of the app) — it installs ShroudForge (the mod loader) and the Crowd Control mod into your game folder.

• Launch Enshrouded and press F9 to open the ShroudForge Modloader and check that Crowd Control is listed and enabled.

3. Link Your Crowd Control Account

• Load a world. A browser window opens with a code.

• Enter the code in the window to link your account.

• Press F10 in-game at any time to open a new code.

4. Test Before You Stream

• Always test a few effects before going live

• Skipping this can lead to broken streams and confusion!

Dedicated Servers

• Install ShroudForge into the server folder (it supports enshrouded_server.exe).

• Download Enshrouded-CrowdControl.zip and extract it into the server folder, next to ShroudForge. The zip contains a single mods/crowdcontrol folder, so it never replaces anyone else’s files.

• Start the server normally. Players who want to stream on it also install the mod on their own PC — via the app setup above.

Multiplayer

• Works in single-player, as the host of a co-op world, and on dedicated servers.

• On a server, any number of streamers can be linked at once, and each one only gets the effects their viewers send.

• Nothing on your PC or server listens for connections — the mod talks to Crowd Control directly, so there are no ports to open.

Game Version

• Requires ShroudForge 1.7.9+ with a profile for your game build. When Enshrouded patches, wait for ShroudForge to publish a profile for the new build before playing modded — until then Crowd Control effects fail safely and refund.

Uninstall

• Single-player / co-op: from the CC desktop app, select your game and click the trash icon next to Mod Installed to run the uninstaller.

• Dedicated servers: delete the mods/crowdcontrol folder from the server directory. Nothing else is modified.

• ShroudForge itself is left installed. To remove it too, delete winmm.dll, dbghelp.dll, dinput8.dll and the shroudforge folder from the game directory, following its own docs.
