Crowd Control Setup Guides

Oct 9, 2026 NOTICE: This pack is in field testing. Effects may malfunction. Report anomalies in the Crowd Control Discord (bugs and requests). Do not attempt to contain them yourself.

1. Start with the App

• Open Crowd Control Desktop App

• Select Voices of the Void from the game list

• Game Path: Select your main install folder, like a09n

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

Also available on Thunderstore: CrowdControl_VoicesOfTheVoid

• The Thunderstore package runs on the community unreal_shimloader.

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

• A game notification “The Crowd is watching…” will show when connected.

• A game notification “The Crowd is no longer watching…” will show when disconnected.

Skipping this step can lead to broken streams and confusion!

Mod Compatibility

• The mod runs on UE4SS, which is included in our mod package.

• Other UE4SS mods can conflict with the Crowd Control mod. Run combined mods at your own risk.

• Our mod works alongside other shimloader-managed UE4SS mods. We don’t recomened running two viewer chaos systems at the same time (e.g. ChaosMod).

Game Version

• Tested on alpha 0.9.0n (itch.io, installed via YeetPatch).

• Game updates can break the mod. If a new version drops and effects stop working, tell us in the Crowd Control Discord.

Game Mode

• The pack is tested in infinite mode. It is the recommended way to play with Crowd Control.

• Story mode works, but the tutorial flow gates some systems. Effects that need the terminal or base power do nothing early on.

• For the best experience, play a save that is past the intro with the base powered.

Notifications

• Effect notifications appear in the game's own hint feed (the blue i lines).

• Edit config.ini in the mod folder to change the style: generic (flavor text), full (viewer name and effect), icon (icon only), or off.

• Connection status messages always show, in any mode.

Common Issues

• Voices of the Void sometimes closes itself on purpose. Certain in-game events quit the game to desktop as part of the story.

• An event close is not a crash. The game simply exits. Relaunch and continue. Do not report these closes.

• A real crash looks different. Windows shows a fatal error pop up, or the Unreal crash reporter appears.

• Report real crashes in the Crowd Control Discord. Include your ue4ss\UE4SS.log and which effect was running when it happened.

Uninstall

• Use the trash icon in the Crowd Control app to remove the mod.
