1. Start with the App

• Open Crowd Control Desktop App

• Select Project Zomboid from the game list

• Follow the Auto Setup checklist (left side of app)

2. Test Before You Stream

• You can only test effects after pressing "Start Session" in the Crowd Control app

• Always test a few effects before going live to confirm effects trigger as expected

Skipping this step can lead to broken streams and confusion!

Game Version

Our support has been tested with the latest Steam version of the game.

We also support Build 41 as a different selection.

Multiplayer / Servers

Hosting a game:

All users should have the Crowd Control mod enabled to receive effects.

Make sure to also add the Crowd Control mod to the server settings.

Dedicated Server: We have little testing with dedicated servers, however, as long as the Crowd Control Mod and Crowd Control Bridge are running on the server, it should work just like when you host.

The Crowd Control Bridge zip contains batch files for running the server with our mod loaded, but you may want to just open them to see the arguments used to load the bridge.

Troubleshooting

• Missing “Crowd Control connected” message:

- Press F9 to try and reconnect If you receive one of the following messages:

• Crowd Control bridge is not installed on this server:

• Read the Game Guide:

- Close the game, and click the folder icon in the Crowd Control app next to the Steam Path Selected one-click.

- Once in the game folder look for the file named ProjectZomboid64-CrowdControl or ProjectZomboid64-CrowdControl.bat and double-click it.

- Then, relaunch!

Mods

Other mods may work with ours, but have not been tested. If you run into any issues, try with a fresh mod setup. You may need to review logs to see if other mods may be causing issues with Crowd Control, found at %userprofile%\Zomboid\Logs

Uninstall

To uninstall the Crowd Control mod:

1. From the CC desktop app, select your game.

2. Press ALT + Click on "Mod Installed" to run the uninstaller.
