• 2.5: If you’re missing any of the files, it’s possible you either..
  • Downloaded the Wrong Thing (make sure you didn’t download the source code!)
  • Or, your Anti-Virus deleted some of the files (this is a known issue)

3. Copy all of the items inside to either your existing Among Us Folder, or copy both your Among Us files & Lotus Files to a new folder (Steam Only)
4. If everything works correctly, you should be able to start the Among Us.exe file in that folder and your game will load Project: Lotus!

Common Errors

Note: It’s recommended to join our Discord if you’re having issues, you can here.

If you can’t then this is here for you to self diagnose the error and try to fix it.

• “Help, my mod doesn’t load!”

  • This could be from a multitude of errors.
    • Check if your Among Us Folder matches the one above in the note.
    • Check your Anti-Virus deleted any of the files which make Lotus Work!
    • Are you on the correct version? See if you’re on a version of Among Us which supports Project: Lotus!
    • Can you provide a log from either /logs/(date).txt or /BepInEx/LogOutput.log? If these don’t exist then your mod isn’t loading at all.

• “Help! I’m getting the error SteamworksAuthFail or Fatal Error: Unable to get Epic Account ID”

  • If you’re on Steam, then..

    • Make sure that the Steam Launcher is open!
    • If it’s open and you’re still getting the error, go to your Among Us folder and make sure steam_appid.txt is in it.
      • If it doesn’t exist, make it and copy 945360 into it then save and retry.
    • If that doesn’t fix it, then join our Discord from above.

  • If you’re on Epic, then..

    • Make sure that you’re launching the game from the Epic Games Launcher!
    • If you are, and it isn’t working, then maybe Epic Games is having maintenance
    • If that doesn’t fix it, then join our Discord from above.
