Game Setup Instructions

No manual mod installation or other configuration is required to play Riven with Archipelago. The client included with the APWorld does all the work by attaching to the game process and monitoring and manipulating the game state in real-time.

Notes

• Keyboard and Mouse controls are the only supported input methods. Controllers and VR have a high chance to not work correctly
• In Input Options, set Quick Travel on Ladders to Off
• In Input Options, set Hide Vehicle Transitions to Off

Joining a Multiworld Game

• Launch Riven and start a New Game
  • While it may be tempting to make and reuse a save once you arrive on Riven and the cage has been lowered, note that the puzzle solutions are only randomized on creating a new game. If you make and reuse that save across seeds, you will skip the intro, but your puzzle solutions will always be the same.
• Open the Archipelago Launcher. Find and click Riven Client
• Using the Riven Client:
  • Enter the room's hostname and port number (e.g. archipelago.gg:54321) in the top box and click Connect
  • Input your player name at the bottom when prompted and press Enter
  • You should now be connected to the Archipelago room
  • After a few seconds, you should see a message in the client that says Riven process found!
  • You are now ready to play Riven with Archipelago. Make sure to check out the Riven tab in the client

Continuing a Multiworld Game

• Launch Riven and load the correct save
  • Always double-check you are loading the save for the seed you intend to play. Loading the incorrect save and connecting to the client can send location checks that you haven't performed. Be aware!

• Using the Riven Client:
  • Enter the room's hostname and port number (e.g. archipelago.gg:54321) in the top box and click Connect
