Warnings and review limits

  • This is a pre-beta release. The README recommends backing up saves; route C/D milestones, rare endings and some other paths are not reported tested.
  • The package installs a dinput8.dll game hook and conflicts with another mod that installs the same filename.
  • Low-severity static finding: after a remote WSS connection failure, the bridge can retry the same endpoint over plaintext WS and send the room password. This requires a reachable plaintext endpoint and an on-path attacker; no packet capture or runtime reproduction was performed.
  • Focused native control-flow/import review, not full decompilation. No packet capture, runtime test, installation, game test or anti-cheat test. Source-to-release reproducibility and publisher authenticity beyond the recorded digest match are unverified.

The release README reports testing from the start through Ending A. This review did not install, launch or play the mod; route C/D milestones and several rare endings are reported untested, and no independent successful-use report was captured.

Getting started

Back up saves. Extract the official ZIP and copy its “NieRAutomata folder” contents next to NieRAutomata.exe. Install the .apworld in Archipelago for the person generating the multiworld; run Lancer_Pont_Archipelago.bat to start the bridge (the first run installs the Python websockets package). Press F1 or Insert in game to connect. Source: https://github.com/Naokyoo/NieR_Archipelago_Hook/blob/v0.1.0-prebeta/README.md
