SyncCrate
Ready or Not guide · Updated
Same Ready or Not mods for the whole squad.
A modded co-op run works best when every officer has the same mods. SyncCrate copies the host's ~mods folder to the squad, and after the first time only what changed.

// 01 Why
Why modded Ready or Not co-op gets messy
Ready or Not mods are mostly .pak files in the game's ~mods folder: maps, weapons, AI changes and textures. Gameplay and map mods need to match across the squad.
Large mods and frequent game updates mean somebody always has an old version. With SyncCrate one PC hosts and the others match it, and only the differences are copied.

// 04 Common problems
When Ready or Not mods don't match
A map or mod missing for a friend
Custom maps and gameplay mods need the same files on every PC.
Everyone syncs the host's
~modsfolder before the mission.Broken after a game update
Updates often break pak mods until they're updated, and friends update at different times.
The host updates once. Everyone else syncs and gets only the changed files.
Huge pak files
Map mods can be gigabytes.
Unchanged files are never copied again.

Good to know
- Mods from the in-game mod browser (mod.io) are managed by the game and aren't synced.
