Is it safe to update R.E.P.O.?

Just patched, waitFresh patch. Hold your horses.

Each numbered update (v0.4, v0.5…) can break REPOLib and the content and upgrade mods built on it until they ship a fix.

Verdict for v0.5.1

v0.5.1 is under a week old and REPOLib, MoreHead and MoreUpgrades have not updated yet. Hold the update a few days.

⏪ Already updated and your mods broke?

R.E.P.O. only has a beta (newer) branch on Steam, not a previous-version branch (checked Oct 26, 2026), so back up the game folder before patches.

What do the status labels mean?

Safe
A release explicitly supports the current patch (release notes, the maintainer's official page, or a stable build for that version).
Likely safe
Released after the patch without naming it, or the patch is over a week old with no breakage reports.
Just patched, wait
The patch is under 7 days old and the framework hasn't updated yet.
Breakage reported
Open issues on the project's tracker say it broke after the patch.
Not ported yet
No build exists for the current game version yet (Minecraft loaders, Script Hook V).
Not affected by patches
Version-agnostic tools (mod managers, generic loaders). Not counted in the verdict.
Check manually
Tools without a public release feed (e.g. Nexus-only). Not counted in the verdict.

Where does the data come from?

Game patches come from official Steam announcements (app 3241660), checked against Steam's public build (api.steamcmd.net); updates announced only off Steam are added by hand with cited sources. Framework data comes from the Thunderstore API and GitHub releases. ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.

How do I stop Steam from auto-updating R.E.P.O.?

Steam has no 'never update' option. In your Library, open R.E.P.O. > Manage > Properties > Updates and set Automatic updates to 'Wait until I launch the game', then launch through your mod loader or play in Offline Mode. R.E.P.O. only has a beta (newer) branch on Steam, not a previous-version branch (checked Oct 26, 2026), so back up the game folder before patches.
