Setup Guide for A Hat in Time in Archipelago

Required Software

• Steam release of A Hat in Time

• Archipelago Workshop Mod for A Hat in Time

Instructions

1. Have Steam running. Open the Steam console with this link.

2. In the Steam console, enter the following command: download_depot 253230 253232 7770543545116491859. Wait for the console to say the download is finished!

3. Once the download finishes, go to steamapps/content/app_253230 in Steam's program folder.

4. There should be a folder named depot_253232. Rename it to HatinTime_AP and move it to your steamapps/common folder.

5. In the HatinTime_AP folder, navigate to Binaries/Win64 and create a new file: steam_appid.txt. In this new text file, input the number 253230 on the first line.

6. Create a shortcut of HatinTimeGame.exe from that folder and move it to wherever you'd like. You will use this shortcut to open the Archipelago-compatible version of A Hat in Time.

7. Start up the game using your new shortcut. To confirm if you are on the correct version, go to Settings -> Game Settings. If you don't see an option labelled Live Game Events you should be running the correct version of the game. In Game Settings, make sure Enable Developer Console is checked.

Connecting to the Archipelago server

To connect to the multiworld server, simply run the ArchipelagoAHITClient and connect it to the Archipelago server. The game will connect to the client automatically when you create a new save file.

Console Commands
