COMBAT
Fight together
Enemies are synced when in close proximity: dungeon dive together, hunt together, assist in boss fights.

Play Enderal: Forgotten Stories with up to seven friends. Explore Vyn together, fight side by side, and if you like, follow one hero's story as their company.
Each player runs their own copy of Enderal, and the mod keeps them in step: who's where, what they're fighting, what they've changed in the world.
Enemies are synced when in close proximity: dungeon dive together, hunt together, assist in boss fights.
When you fall near a friend, you're downed instead of dead. They have a few seconds to reach you and help you up.
When hosting, toggle on Solo Protagonist: all others who join get to experience the game with an alternative start, as mercs or otherwise. In close proximity they can still hear the host's quest dialogue, and are able to take on side quests of their own.
Environment changes from quests are apparent in the world, and puzzles solved by one player are apparent to all. Depending on the host's settings, loot is shared or not, and doors and chests are also shareable.
Voice chat is available with 3 sound settings: yell, speak or whisper.
Vanilla mode, but joining a friend is as easy as F1, then F2.
Host a game with multiple quality of life toggles. Allow your session to be accessed by password, by friends or by everyone.
See the open games, and step into one with any of your characters.
Jump to a friend from the co-op panel, outside a fight.
Locked doors, chests, hatches or otherwise are synced: when unlocked, they unlock for everyone.
Loot is synced in both games.
You play the story; everyone who joins plays a side character.
With Solo Protagonist, the host can skip dialogue lines.
Windows may warn on first run: More info, then Run anyway. Once access is granted, press Install. A free Nexus Mods account is needed.
Updates install on launch.
Report: F1, then L in game.
Not planned: shared XP, loot rolls.
Yes. If you'd like to help, there's a Ko-fi link at the top.
Yes. Everyone needs Skyrim Special Edition on Steam and the free Enderal Special Edition. Each player runs their own game.
Yes. The launcher lists your Enderal characters. A mercenary in a Solo Protagonist game is a new character made for that game.
No. You can split up and do your own quests. Enemies, loot and locks are shared where you meet. Teleport to a friend from the co-op panel if the host allows it.
The launcher installs what the co-op needs. Other mods aren't tested and can cause trouble, especially ones that change the main story or the player's body. Turn them off if something breaks.
That's because the launcher isn't signed yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
Press F1 and then L in game, write a line about what happened, and send it. The logs come with it, and every report is read.
Please make sure you're not downloading the outfits file.
Two required mods come from Nexus Mods. A free account is enough. Mods, on the launcher's home page, shows what's still missing.
The host's game has to be Open, or Friends only with you on their Steam friends list. Run the connection check (bottom right of the launcher) on both PCs.
Each line says what to change. The usual one: Steam profile, Privacy Settings, Game details set to Friends Only or Public.
Start the launcher again. If you allowed log sending, the last session's logs and crash log go up on their own. Next time in game, F1 then L to say what happened.
Requests are granted by hand. Leave the launcher open: it checks every 5 seconds and opens once you're in. Refresh checks at once.
Optional. Launcher, Mods, Textures reads your graphics card's memory and your free space, suggests 1K, 2K or 4K, and installs SRP Enderal from Nexus. A size above the suggestion asks first. Remove textures puts Enderal's own back. Only your game changes.
F1, then L in game, then the Right arrow for Idea.
The Discord, in #looking-for-group.
Enderal Co-op is in closed alpha: it's played and tested by a small group while the rough edges get fixed. Testers who like Enderal and don't mind sending a report when something breaks are welcome.
Enderal Co-op builds on other people's work. Please support what they do.
