FractureLoader is a mod loader for South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
It injects into the game at runtime and dynamically loads mods from disk.
FractureLoader also includes extra tools for Snowdrop Engine debugging and modding, such as:
- A UI Blueprint Loader (muigraph)
- An Faceman Engine Layouts Loader
- Platform Changer (enable platform-specific behavior, etc)
- Skip Startup Intro (skip logos/videos on launch)
- Demo Type Changer (change demo-related restrictions, enable E3 mode)
- Camera Controls (FOV override, free camera)
- World Management (game state, time of day, teleportation, actor inspector)
Note: This project is experimental and under active development.
- Game: South Park: The Fractured But Whole – Latest Steam/Ubisoft Connect version (Steam Build ID 11479433)
-
Modular Loading: Loads mods from a
Mods/folder next to the game executable. -
In-Game Overlay: Displays mod information and modding utilities directly in the game.
-
Asset Overrides: Loads and overrides game files from disk without repacking
.sdfarchives. -
No File Size Restrictions: Modified files do not need to match the original file size.
Important: If you modify binary files like
.mmb, ensure you also update any size fields (in hex) inside the file as required by the format. -
Camera Controls:
- FOV Override – Adjust the camera field of view with a slider.
- Free Camera – Detach the camera from the player and move freely using arrow keys. Scroll wheel adjusts FOV. Sensitivity is configurable.
-
World Management:
- Game Action State – View and change the current game action state.
- Time of Day – Change the in-game time of day.
- Teleportation – Teleport the player to specific coordinates.
- Actor Inspector – Browse all actors in the world, view and edit their position, rotation, and scale. Teleport to/from actors or possess them.
FractureLoader replaces or injects as the uplay_r1_loader64.dll to gain entry into the game process.
Once injected, it hooks into Snowdrop Engine functions (e.g., file stream loader) to:
- Initialize mods
- Override game assets
- Provide additional debugging utilities
Each mod resides in its own subfolder under FractureLoader/Mods/.
