Modded Among Us FAQ

Modded Among Us is not just impostors versus crewmates anymore. Games can include impostors, crewmates, coven roles, neutrals, and add-ons all in the same match.

Depending on the mod, you may also get access to mini-games like FFA.

The five big role groups to remember are Impostors, Crewmates, Neutrals, Coven, and Add-ons. That is why kills, votes, and suspicious behavior do not always mean the same thing they do in vanilla.

In modded Among Us, crew can kill too.

For standard host-only lobbies, the host is the one who must have the mod installed. Players can usually join without installing the mod themselves.

However, some mods like Town of Us Mira may require players to install the mod too. Those can be installed on PC or Android with Starlight Launcher.

A modded region is a non-Innersloth region that helps mods run when the official anti-cheat breaks lobbies. If you are experiencing host errors like banned for hacking or repeated kicks and the issue is widespread, swapping to a modded region may be a good alternative.

Niko regions are commonly suggested for host-only mods like EHR or Project Lotus. More general modded regions are commonly suggested for client-required mods like Town of Us.

These regions can be installed on mobile, tablet, or PC.

1. Open Among Us.
2. Open mauq.xyz/servers or au.niko233.top.
3. Pick the region your host is using, such as Niko NA or Niko EU.
4. Tap it and let it open Among Us again.
5. For good measure, go back to the link and tap your region one more time, then let it open Among Us again.
6. Click Create a Game.
7. Open the region selector and check if Niko regions are now listed.
8. Select the correct region if it is there.
9. Go back to the main screen and join the host's lobby.

If you already have the mod installed, modded regions typically come along with the mod. If not, visit au.niko233.top and run the customserver.bat file.

Error or domain issue?

• Delete MiniRegionInstall from BepInEx/plugins.
• Download the custom server BAT file.
• Launch the file.
• Press the button it asks for.
• Relaunch the game.

These are the most useful basics for regular players:

• /m or /cmd m to read your role and add-on details.
• /r to list active roles, or /r [role] to read one role.
• /id or /cmd id to see player IDs.
• /kc or /cmd kc to see how many killers are still alive.
• /death or /cmd d after death to see death information.
• /w [ids] [message] for meeting whispers when your role allows it.

In meetings, use the /cmd prefix for guessing, whispering, judging, and other hidden role actions so you do not expose yourself in public chat.

1. Use /cmd id to find the player's ID.
2. In the meeting, use /cmd bt [ID] [RoleName].

Typically the mod will show a player's ID on their meeting card, but if it does not, you can run /id beforehand to get it.

Example: Sarha is Dictator and I am an impostor, so I want to remove her before she removes me. I would use /bt 0 dictator.

Modded clients also have a guesser UI in most mods that makes guessing easier, so check for that in meetings.

There are a few reasons. Experienced players learn common role tells over time, especially when a newer player gives away what they are doing.

Even if you never say your role name out loud, people can infer it from system messages, how you ask questions, or what commands you use. Something like asking how to get a player's ID and then immediately using a meeting command can give you away.

If you need help, it is usually safer to run /m in game to learn your role, or ask whether guessing is on before you start doing obvious role-specific actions.

If your role color matches another visible player, you are often on the same team. Do not guess or kill teammates unless your instructions say otherwise.

You may also see icons next to someone's name. You can run /icons in game to check what they mean. In some cases you could be somebody's lawyer and need to protect them, or they could be an Executioner's target.

Do not leave. Some roles can still win after death, some ghost roles activate after death, and ghost chat is still useful. Leaving early can also make you miss role information that matters later.

Download the newest mod DLL and replace the old one in Among Us/BepInEx/plugins.

For example, with EHR test builds:

1. Open BepInEx.
2. Open plugins.
3. Delete the old EHR.dll.
4. Paste the new EHR.dll in.

• Initial countdown: about 10 seconds.
• Delay before entering: about 5 to 10 seconds.
• Forced start: around 1.5 to 3.
• Minutes before autostart: around 1.5 to 2.
• Enable Autostart in the mod settings behind the gear icon.
• If you plan to be AFK, do not forget to enable Game Master.

• /thread rename to rename a lobby thread.
• /thread close to archive and lock a lobby post.
• /code set to set the private code.
• /queue toggle to turn queue on or off.
• /queue next to ping the next players and send the code.
• /queue remove to remove someone without pinging them.
• /code remove then /code set to change the code.
• /blacklist toggle (member) to add someone to the blacklist.

More advanced queue settings can be found on mauq.xyz.

The current workarounds are:

• Play with 9 or fewer users.
• Stick to mini-games that do not have a kill button.
• Use Niko regions as mentioned above.

Use these tools before guessing at the problem:

• EHR Log Analyzer for EHR logs.
• MAUQ Log Reader for other mod logs.

Steam: open Among Us in Steam, go to Properties, then Betas, and choose public-previous.

After downgrading on Steam or Epic, you should delete %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Innersloth\Among Us\settings.amogus to avoid black screens.

If you use Steam, be sure to copy your newly downgraded Among Us files into the mod folder that you use.

Use au.niko233.top. Niko233.me now causes immediate kicks because of the domain migration check.

Guest accounts are not supported. An account is required.

Try using Cloudflare WARP for stability.

When you click Create a Game, check how many players you have set and make sure it is 15 or under. You can also open a local lobby and check how many impostors you have set.

Common errors and their usual causes:

• Sent # pings that remote has not responded to: usually weak network connection. Try restarting your connection or moving to a stronger signal.
• ReliablePacketWithoutResponse: often server traffic or unstable connection. Restarting can help.
• Network is unreachable: usually weak internet, especially mobile data. Try Wi-Fi or stronger signal.
• You are running an older version of the game: update or downgrade to the version the lobby is using.
• Could not find the game you're looking for: the code may be wrong, the lobby may have closed, or the region may not match.
• SteamworksAuthFail or AuthFail: Steam or the matching platform may not be open correctly in the background.
• Bad Gateway or authentication errors: often server-side. Restarting can help, but sometimes you just have to wait.
• Network Packet Loss or Reliable packet was not ack'd: usually unstable connection or region mismatch. Changing regions can help.
