Settings
Settings is organized into four tabs: Game, Application, Advanced, and About. The Game tab holds per-game configuration; the other tabs hold global options and project information.
Game Path
Section titled “Game Path”The absolute path to the active game’s installation root. Modrex auto-detects this by scanning known launcher locations for the selected game.
Click Browse to set it manually. Modrex validates the path and identifies your launcher when you save.
Launcher
Section titled “Launcher”Override the auto-detected launcher. Launcher support is game-specific; see Supported games for the current matrix. Modrex uses this setting to determine how to start the active game when you click Launch.
New Mod Installs (Crime Boss)
Section titled “New Mod Installs (Crime Boss)”Controls where new Crime Boss mods install by default: Automatic (the official ModKit location,
CrimeBoss/Mods) or Always ask, which prompts you to choose ModKit or the legacy ~mods location
before each install. See Crime Boss for the
difference between the two targets and how to move an already-installed mod later.
Launch Options
Section titled “Launch Options”Command-line arguments appended to every launch for the active game. Not available for Xbox app installs.
Crash reporter cleanup
Section titled “Crash reporter cleanup”Shown for PAYDAY 3 on the Xbox app. Removes the game’s crash reporter files before each launch, which works around an empty crash report window. Off by default.
Application
Section titled “Application”Check for updates
Section titled “Check for updates”Manually check whether a new version of Modrex is available. Modrex also checks automatically on every launch.
Usage analytics
Section titled “Usage analytics”Modrex may ask whether you want to share anonymous usage analytics. This is optional and can be changed here at any time. Analytics are off unless you opt in.
Discord Rich Presence
Section titled “Discord Rich Presence”When enabled, Modrex shows the active game in your Discord profile while the app is open, along with a Get Modrex button. Enabled by default.
Language
Section titled “Language”Choose the language used by the Modrex interface. The selector lists every translation included with your installed version. Missing text in a partial translation falls back to English.
To improve a translation or add a language, start with the contribution guide.
Accent color
Section titled “Accent color”The highlight color used across the app.
Advanced
Section titled “Advanced”Auto-launch SISR
Section titled “Auto-launch SISR”Starts SISR (Steam Input System Redirector) before a game launches, so Steam Input controllers work with games started outside Steam. Off by default.
Opens the Modrex log file. Attach it to bug reports to help diagnose issues.
Nexus Mods
Section titled “Nexus Mods”Sign in to Nexus Mods to browse its catalog and send Mod Manager Download installs back to Modrex. Signing out disconnects the account from the app.
Folders and storage
Section titled “Folders and storage”Open the active game folder, each managed mod folder, Modrex’s data folder, or its install folder. The Storage section shows cached data and lets you clear caches or reset app settings to their defaults.
The About tab links to the Modrex website, Discord, GitHub repository, and GitHub Sponsors.
App data locations
Section titled “App data locations”Modrex stores its state and settings in the following locations:
| Platform | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\Modrex |
| Linux | ~/.local/share/modrex |
The mod state file (.modrex.json) lives inside the active game’s managed mods folder so it travels
with the game directory on dual-boot setups. Older .pd3mm.json state files are migrated
automatically. See Priority and state for details.
