How to install BepInEx for CrewCore
BepInEx is the loader used by the PC packages. The easiest option is to download the complete CrewCore package for your store, but this guide explains what the setup flow expects.

Folder matters
Files must go into the correct Among Us installation folder.
F1 confirms load
When CrewCore loads, the in-game menu opens with F1.
What to know
Most users should avoid mixing manual DLL files with complete packages unless they understand the BepInEx folder structure.
If CrewCore does not appear in game, the usual causes are wrong platform package, wrong folder, missing BepInEx files or blocked download extraction.
The steps below are written out in full for each store, so you can match your exact folder before extracting.
Recommended flow
- Download the correct package for your platform.
- Extract the package into the Among Us folder, not a random downloads folder.
- Launch Among Us normally.
- Press F1 and paste your key if activation is required.
What BepInEx changes in the folder
BepInEx works as the loader layer between Among Us and the CrewCore ModMenuCrew plugin. A complete package normally adds the BepInEx folder structure, the plugin folder, loader files, and the CrewCore DLL in the place where the game actually launches.
What matters is not the download name but the destination: the files must land in the active Among Us install directory for the store you actually use, or the plugin never loads.
When to reinstall cleanly
- Among Us was moved to another Steam library or drive.
- You changed from Steam/Itch.io to Epic, Microsoft Store or Xbox App.
- The game opens, but pressing F1 never opens the CrewCore menu.
- You mixed a DLL-only update with an older complete package.
- A previous mod loader left duplicate plugin files in the same folder.
Troubleshooting by symptom
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| F1 does nothing | CrewCore did not load through BepInEx. | Confirm the package was extracted into the active Among Us folder and not a downloads folder. |
| Game opens without the menu | The plugin file may be missing or outdated. | Use the complete package again, or use DLL only only when BepInEx is already working. |
| Wrong store package was used | Steam/Itch.io and Epic/Microsoft/Xbox packages are not interchangeable. | Return to the download hub and choose the platform label that matches your install. |
| Activation appears after install | The mod loaded and now needs a valid key. | Open Get Key or Premium, then paste the key when CrewCore requests it. |
