General FAQ
- Q: So what is The Binding of Isaac Revelations?
- A: The Binding of Isaac: Revelations is a large mod for The Binding of Isaac split into three parts, or "Chapters." The mod adds a plethora of items, enemies, and bosses; but it mainly adds a new floorpath for the player to go through, housing Glacier, Tomb, and Vestige. The first two Chapters, Glacier and Tomb, have been released and are available on the Binding of Isaac's Steam Workshop page; with Chapter 3 to be released after the Repentance DLC.
- Q: Is this a DLC/do I have to pay for this?
- A: No, Revelations is/will always be free and available on the Steam Workshop.
- Q: Is this safe to download/will it break my save game?
- A: It is safe to download and will not get rid of any progress made in the vanilla game.
- Q: What DLCs do I need in order to play this mod?
- A: The mod is compatible up to Repentance, and there is a legacy version which includes Chapter 1 and 2 that only requires Afterbirth and Afterbirth+. For Chapter 3, Repentance will be required. Chapter 3 will not have an Afterbirth+ only release.
- Q: When is Chapter 3 coming out?
- A: There is no current ETA for the Chapter 3 release. Team Revelations is working hard on the chapter, and will share news of its release when the time is right.
Technical FAQ
- Q: My game won't launch/mod doesn't load/mod only partially loads/ect.
- A: If you have correctly installed the Binding of Isaac Revelations and its sister mod, StageAPI, and you have verified you have the correct system requirements, then most issues that you come across will be Steam incorrectly downloading the mods to your computer. The following steps will help you to re-download the mod:
- Unsubscribe from Revelations and StageAPI on the Steam Workshop.
- Head to Isaac's install location (easily accessed by right clicking the Binding of Isaac in Steam, then going to Manage > Browse Local Files).
- Open the folder called "mods."
- Delete the two folders that begin with "revelations" and "stageapi".
- Launch your game, get to the character select, and close the game.
- Re-subscribe to Revelations and StageAPI on the steam workshop
- Launch the game
These steps should refresh the download and force Steam to reinstall it. If it doesn't work, try again. Remember that Revelations is suggested to be played standalone with no other mods active, as other mods can break Revelations; and be sure you are NOT subscribed to the old Revelations mod page, located here.
