Known scope and limitations

  • Install Courier plus the AP randomizer, or use The Messenger entry in the Archipelago launcher. Do not enable both AP and standalone randomizers together.
  • Disable music shuffle if encountering the documented Sunken Shrine or water-death softlock. The maintainer identifies it as the cause and gives this workaround.
  • Returning to HQ during certain boss or chase sequences can misbehave. The guide recommends quitting to title and reloading if this occurs.
  • Connection text entry does not accept controller input and has restricted characters; APConfig.toml supports names that cannot be entered in the menu.
  • This listing covers the documented Windows setup, not independently verified Linux or shared-world multiplayer.

This integration is maintained independently of Panludia. Downloads are provided by its maintainer. Contact the maintainer through the linked repository or support channels.
