Voices of the Void - Linux modding tutorial

Learn how to manually install mods on Linux
Note: This tutorial assumes you have a basic knowledge on how to navigate a Linux desktop and know how to use Wine/Steam Proton.

Prerequisites

  • Voices of the Void game (installed)
  • UE4SS mod loader
  • Archive/unzip utility

Step 1: Installing UE4SS mod loader

  1. Download latest version of UE4SS mod loader (Github link)
  2. Extract UE4SS contents to:
    WindowsNoEditor/VotV/Binaries/Win64
    

Step 2: Configure UE4SS Settings

  1. Open UE4SS-settings.ini in any text editor
  2. Critical Setting: Set the following parameter otherwise the game wont run.
    HookCallFunctionByNameWithArguments = 0
    
  3. Check if the game runs and verify that UE4SS is properly installed by pressing F10, which should bring up a developer console.

Step 3: Configure mod loader

  1. Navigate to the "Mods" directory
  2. Open mods.txt
  3. Ensure the following setting is enabled:
    BPModLoaderMod : 1
    

TIP: Setting BPModLoaderMod to 0 will disable all mods.

Step 4: Install VoidMod API

  1. Download VoidMod from Thunderstore:
  2. Open or extract the downloaded archive
  3. Copy the .pak file from /pak/ to:
    WindowsNoEditor/VotV/Content/Paks/LogicMods/
    
  4. Rename the .pak file to VoidMod.pak

Step 5: Install Fusion (Optional)

For mods modifying or removing existing content:

  1. Download Fusion from:
  2. Extract everything to: WindowsNoEditor/VotV/Binaries/Win64/
  3. Rename the mod directory to "Fusion"
  4. Move "Fusion" to /Mods/

Troubleshooting

If the game doesn't launch:

  1. Try alternate executable:

    • Instead of VotV.exe, use VotV-Win64-Shipping.exe in:
      WindowsNoEditor/VotV/Binaries/Win64/
      
  2. Steam Launch Options:
    • Right-click game → Properties → Shortcut → Target
    • Set to directory path instead of direct .exe for Wine file explorer access, in which you will be able to launch the game by double clicking the .exe

Verification

  • Launch the game
  • Check for VoidMod configuration menu
  • Test basic mod functionality

Note: Always backup your game and save files before installing mods, and ensure compatibility between different mods and the current game version.
TIP: Pressing F6 will create a backup save file, allowing you to go back if save corruption occurs.

Bonus TIP: Launch the game with WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 argument (WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 %command% if using Steam launch options) to fix TVs not playing video.
