This is a DLL file that adds mod support and script loading functionality. Additionally, it enables disk caching, resulting in better hard drive performance over time.
To install, copy version.dll into the root directory of the game (where "Outlaws.exe" is). This is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Star Wars Outlaws
After installing Ultimate SWO ModLoader, you may copy any modified game files relative to the root directory of the game. Be sure to keep file names and folder structures the same!
You can use programs such as DTZxPorter's Hunter to extract the game files.
Note: texture replacement currently does not work, as file streaming is not yet supported.
To add functionality to the game, you can put additional DLL or ASI files in the "scripts" folder in the root directory of the game, allowing you to execute arbitrary code. If the folder does not exist (it doesn't by default), create it.
This DLL now also enables the use of Windows's file caching, which should result in less hard drive activity over time. This may allow the game to run on HDDs and should also result in slightly better SSD performance as well.
For additional speed, the DLL now also sets process and thread priority to high for Outlaws, reducing stuttering and lag spikes due to other processes in the background.
