WeMod Enhancer

The original WeMod app — Pro unlocked — on Steam Deck, Linux & Windows

One command patches the WeMod client: Pro subscription active, auto-updates disabled, F12 DevTools, no mobile-pairing nag. Zero runtime dependencies — stdlib Python plus a 4 KB C proxy DLL.

What you get

Feature	How
Pro activation	Intercepts /v3/account → injects subscription: { period: "yearly", state: "active" }
ASAR integrity bypass	4 KB version.dll proxy flips Electron's fuse in-process via VirtualProtect
F12 DevTools	Hotkey hook on browser-window-created
No auto-updates	ACTION_CHECK_FOR_UPDATE → no-op — the patch survives until you say otherwise
No mobile pairing	requestRemoteAuthCode() → reject
Fail-safe	Automatic backup, all-or-nothing patching, one-command restore

GUI (optional)

One self-contained folder, no terminal. Grab the artifact for your OS from the latest release, unpack, run:

OS	Artifact	Inside
Windows x64	wemod_enhancer-windows-msvc-amd64.zip	bin/wemod_enhancer_gui.exe + bin/wemod_enhancer.py + bin/version.dll
Linux x64	wemod_enhancer-linux-amd64.tar.xz	bin/wemod_enhancer_gui.elf + bin/wemod_enhancer.py + bin/version.dll
Linux ARM64	wemod_enhancer-linux-arm64.tar.xz	same layout, ARM build

Everything ships inside the package — nothing is downloaded at runtime: the GUI finds the patcher (wemod_enhancer.py + version.dll) next to the executable, auto-detects the WeMod folder, streams the patch output live. Only requirement: Python 3.11+ on PATH. Report bug opens a pre-filled GitHub issue with the log attached.

Linux / Steam Deck (CLI)

WeMod has no Linux build — wemod-launcher runs the official Windows client through Proton. WeMod Enhancer unlocks Pro on top of it.

# 1. Install the launcher
git clone https://github.com/DeckCheatz/wemod-launcher "$HOME/wemod-launcher"
chmod +x "$HOME/wemod-launcher/wemod"
...
(follow steps in tutorial https://github.com/DeckCheatz/wemod-launcher)
(Launch any game though wemod, authorize in wemod)

# 2. Get WeMod Enhancer
curl -LO https://github.com/e-gleba/wemod_enhancer/releases/latest/download/wemod_enhancer-windows-llvm-mingw-amd64.tar.xz
mkdir -p wemod_enhancer && tar -xf wemod_enhancer-windows-llvm-mingw-amd64.tar.xz -C wemod_enhancer
cd wemod_enhancer

# 3. Launch your game once through the launcher, then patch the WeMod install
python3 bin/wemod_enhancer.py patch --install-dir "$HOME/wemod-launcher/wemod_data/wemod_bin"
# Or launch the GUI
./bin/wemod_enhancer_gui.elf

Important: wemod_bin only appears after you launch a game through wemod-launcher at least once and log in to your WeMod account. The launcher downloads the WeMod client into ~/wemod-launcher/wemod_data/wemod_bin on first run — patch only after that folder exists. See the wemod-launcher tutorial for the full setup (Proton, launch options, first login).

No python3? It's preinstalled on SteamOS and most distros — otherwise install it with your package manager (3.11+).

Steam launch options for the game:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" WEMOD_LOG="$HOME/wemod-launcher/wemod.log" "$HOME/wemod-launcher/wemod" %command%

version=n,b forces native-first DLL loading — without it Wine uses its builtin version.dll and Electron rejects the patched ASAR.

Done — WeMod starts with the game, Pro active. Diagnostics, log locations, cleanup: docs/linux.md.

Windows (CLI)

Install WeMod, authorize. Open PowerShell (Start → type powershell → Enter), make sure WeMod is closed, then paste:

# 1. Download + extract WeMod Enhancer (prebuilt version.dll included)
cd $env:USERPROFILE\Downloads
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/e-gleba/wemod_enhancer/releases/latest/download/wemod_enhancer-windows-msvc-amd64.zip" -OutFile "wemod_enhancer.zip"
Expand-Archive wemod_enhancer.zip -DestinationPath wemod_enhancer -Force
cd wemod_enhancer

# 2. Auto-detect the newest WeMod install (the app-* folder with resources\app.asar) and patch it
$wemod = Get-ChildItem "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\WeMod\app-*" -Directory |
         Where-Object { Test-Path "$_\resources\app.asar" } |
         Sort-Object { [version]($_.Name -replace '^app-','') } -Descending |
         Select-Object -First 1
python bin\wemod_enhancer.py patch --install-dir $wemod.FullName
# Or launch GUI
.\bin\wemod_enhancer_gui.exe

python not recognized? winget install Python.Python.3.13, then reopen PowerShell. Don't want Python staying on your system after patching? Remove it the same way: winget uninstall Python.Python.3.13.

Restore

Originals are backed up automatically. One command reverts everything:

# Linux
python3 bin/wemod_enhancer.py restore --install-dir "$HOME/wemod-launcher/wemod_data/wemod_bin"

# Windows (PowerShell, same session as above)
python bin\wemod_enhancer.py restore --install-dir $wemod.FullName

vs Wand-Enhancer

Ground-up rewrite of the original Wand-Enhancer — same core job, zero runtime dependencies, fully cross-platform:

	WeMod Enhancer	Wand-Enhancer
Language	C + Python (stdlib only)	C# / .NET / WPF
Runtime deps	None — Python stdlib + a 4 KB C DLL	.NET Framework 4.8 runtime
Build deps	CMake + compiler	CMake + Node.js + pnpm + VS 2022 + MSBuild + NuGet
Build from source	cmake --workflow --preset windows_llvm_mingw_amd64_full	Fork → GitHub Actions → download artifact
Platform	Steam Deck, Linux, Windows	Windows only
Interface	CLI — scriptable, automatable	WPF GUI — click-through wizard
Binary size	~4 KB proxy DLL	Full .NET WPF application
ASAR integrity bypass	In-process fuse flip via VirtualProtect	Same approach (shared heritage)
Pro activation	Intercepts /v3/account responses	Same
DevTools	F12 hotkey hook	Not available
Disable updates	ACTION_CHECK_FOR_UPDATE → no-op	Not available
Disable mobile pairing	requestRemoteAuthCode() → reject	Not available
Remote web panel	Not included	Built-in LAN HTTP/WebSocket server
Custom script injection	Not included	Bundled .js injection at patch time
Fail-safe	Fails closed on mismatched patches	—
Backup & restore	Automatic, one-command restore	—
License	MIT	Apache-2.0

WeMod Enhancer focuses on the core patching pipeline with the smallest possible footprint. If you need the Remote Web Panel or custom script injection on Windows, Wand-Enhancer remains a solid choice.

Build from source

For builders, maintainers, and contributors — users should grab a prebuilt package from the latest release instead.

Needs CMake 3.31+ and Ninja. On Linux the LLVM-MinGW toolchain is auto-downloaded.

cmake --workflow --preset windows_llvm_mingw_amd64_full   # Linux → Windows package
cmake --workflow --preset windows_msvc_amd64_full         # Windows (MSVC) package

GUI builds on Linux hosts need SDL3 Wayland/X11 dev packages (build-time only) — see cmake_multi_platform.yml for the exact apt list; Fedora: sudo dnf install libstdc++-static for the static C++ runtime.
