Wargroove Setup Guide

Required Files

• Wargroove with the Double Trouble DLC installed through Steam on Windows and Linux
  • Only the Steam versions on Windows and Linux are supported. MAC, Switch, Xbox, and Playstation are not supported.
• The most recent Archipelago release

Backup playerProgress files

playerProgress and playerProgress.bak contain save data for all of your Wargroove campaigns. Backing up these files is strongly recommended in case they become corrupted.

1. Type %appdata%\Chucklefish\Wargroove\save in the file browser and hit enter.
2. Copy the playerProgress and playerProgress.bak files and paste them into a backup directory.

Update host.yaml to include the Wargroove root directory

1. Look for your MultiworldGG install files. By default, the installer puts them in C:\Program Files\MultiworldGG.
2. Open the host.yaml file in your favorite text editor (Notepad will work).
3. Put your Wargroove root directory in the root_directory: under the wargroove_options: section.
   • The Wargroove root directory can be found by going to Steam->Right Click Wargroove->Properties->Installed Files->Browse and copying the path in the address bar.
   • Paste the path in between the quotes next to root_directory: in the host.yaml.
   • You may have to replace all single \ with \\.
4. Start the Wargroove client.

Linux Only: Select AppData equivalent when starting the client

1. Shut down Wargroove if it is open.
2. Start the MultiworldGGWargrooveClient.exe from the MultiworldGG installation.
3. A file select dialogue will appear, claiming it cannot detect a path to the AppData folder.
4. Navigate to your Steam install directory and select . /steamapps/compatdata/607050/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming as the save directory.
5. Using a default Steam install path, the full AppData path is ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/607050/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming.
6. The client should start.

Installing the Archipelago Wargroove Mod and Campaign files

1. Shut down Wargroove if it is open.
2. Start the MultiworldGGWargrooveClient.exe from the MultiworldGG installation. This should install the mod and campaign for you.
3. Start Wargroove.

Verify the campaign can be loaded

1. Start Wargroove from Steam.
2. Go to Story->Campaign->Custom->Archipelago and click play. You should see the first level.

Starting a Multiworld game

1. Start the Wargroove Client and connect to the server. Enter your username from your options file.
2. Start Wargroove and play the Archipelago campaign by going to Story->Campaign->Custom->Archipelago.

Ending a Multiworld game

It is strongly recommended that you delete your campaign progress after finishing a multiworld game. This can be done by going to the level selection screen in the Archipelago campaign, hitting ESC and clicking the Delete Progress button. The main menu should now be visible.

Updating to a new version of the Wargroove mod or downloading new campaign files

First, delete your campaign progress by going to the level selection screen in the Archipelago campaign, hitting ESC and clicking the Delete Progress button.

Follow the Installing the Archipelago Wargroove Mod and Campaign files steps again, but look for the latest version to download. In addition, follow the steps outlined in Wargroove crashes when trying to run the Archipelago campaign when attempting to update the campaign files and the mod.

Troubleshooting

The game is too hard

Go to the campaign overview screen->Hit escape on the keyboard->Click adjust difficulty->Adjust the setttings

The mod doesn't load

Double-check the mod installation under %appdata%\Chucklefish\Wargroove\mods. There should be 3 .dat files in %appdata%\Chucklefish\Wargroove\mods\ArchipelagoMod. Otherwise, follow Installing the Archipelago Wargroove Mod and Campaign files steps once more.

Wargroove crashes or there is a lua error

Wargroove is finicky, but there could be several causes for this. If it happens often or can be reproduced, please submit a bug report in the tech-support channel on the discord.
