Once Victor Launcher is installed and Among Us is running, you are a few button presses away from having your first mod active. This guide walks you through opening the launcher, queuing a mod for install, and restarting the game to apply changes.Documentation Index

Installing your first mod
Open Victor Launcher
Launch Among Us and press F7 from any screen. The Victor Launcher overlay appears. The bottom of the overlay shows the Ship Status bar — confirm it reads Ship Status: Ready before proceeding.
Pick a DLL file
Click the Pick DLL button. A native Windows file picker opens. Navigate to the
.dll file for the mod you want to install and select it.Victor Launcher only supports BepInEx-compatible DLL mods. Make sure the mod you are installing is distributed as a .dll and is designed for BepInEx IL2CPP.Confirm the mod is queued
After selecting a file, Victor Launcher copies it into
BepInEx/mod-imports/. This is the staging area — mods placed here are not yet active. You will see the mod appear in the Queued Folders section of the launcher overlay.The mod-imports/ folder acts as a safe holding area so you can review what will be installed before committing to a restart.Install the queued mod
In the Queued Folders section, locate your staged mod. Click Open Folder to see the individual DLL, then click Install to move it from
mod-imports/ into BepInEx/plugins/. Alternatively, click Install Folder on the group card to install all DLLs in that folder at once.A restart prompt appears after a successful install.Restart Among Us
Click Close Now to exit immediately, or Later to close the game on your own. BepInEx loads all plugins in
BepInEx/plugins/ on startup, including the one you just installed.Understanding the queue
When you pick a DLL, Victor Launcher places it inBepInEx/mod-imports/ rather than directly in BepInEx/plugins/. This staging step exists because Among Us loads all plugins at startup — a DLL added to plugins/ while the game is running cannot be loaded until the next launch. The queue makes the pending state visible so you always know what is waiting to be installed.
To move a staged DLL from mod-imports/ into plugins/, you must click Install (for individual mods) or Install Folder (for a group) in the Queued Folders section. Victor Launcher does not automatically install staged files when the game restarts — you always review and approve what gets installed first.
The same pattern applies when you disable a mod: Victor Launcher moves it from plugins/ to plugins-disabled/ immediately, but the game continues running the old in-memory version until you restart.
Checking Ship Status
The Ship Status indicator at the bottom of the overlay is your primary feedback channel. It shows one of two states:| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
Ship Status: Ready | Everything loaded correctly and no action is required |
Ship Status: Warning | An error occurred — read the message shown next to the status label for details |
