Installing
You can easily access main folder of Doom Eternal by going to your library -> right clicking Doom Eternal -> Manage -> Browse Local Files.

  1. Download 'HordeMode_v1.42.zip' and all the tools
  2. Extract 'EternalModInjector.zip' into
    ...\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\
  3. Place 'HordeMode_v1.42.zip' into
    ...\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\Mods\
    Extracting mods isn't necessary.
  4. You should end up with this:
    -/DOOMEternal/EternalModInjector.bat -/DOOMEternal/base/DEternal_loadMods.exe -/DOOMEternal/base/DEternal_patchManifest.exe -/DOOMEternal/base/idRehash.exe -/DOOMEternal/base/EternalPatcher.def -/DOOMEternal/base/EternalPatcher.exe -/DOOMEternal/base/EternalPatcher.exe.config -/DOOMEternal/Mods/HordeMode_v1.42.zip
  5. Run 'EternalModInjector.bat'. It should make backups of original assets, replace them with mods and launch Doom Eternal.

This instruction works with all mods for Doom Eternal.
Uninstalling
  1. Remove Horde mode save slot or back it up, or else it will become corrupted and cause problems with the game.
  2. Remove contents of 'Mods' folder
  3. Run 'EternalModInjector.bat'

Sorry for not providing any kind of support.
I have updated all the links, and even listed other mods that might interest ya.
Now mods should work.

Yes, the mod doesn't work for me either following ancient gods part 2 update. I re-installed the entire game and mod from scratch and I get the same thing - game loads Exultia instead of the slayer gate
lsaha2079 20 Mar, 2021 @ 3:04am 
After the last update, when I try to re-install horde mode It loads up Exultia's main level from a new game with what looks like the load out for horde mode. It's like it almost works but can't load the map correctly.

Anyone else have this issue and/or knows how to fix it?
Rinogg 19 Mar, 2021 @ 5:15am

Deejay0522 16 Feb, 2021 @ 3:11pm

@dpfonehome,
If issues still persist, verify game cache and install mods again.
And, as a last resort, try contacting proteh directly.
