The safest first run keeps the base game, microphone, and one Pack separate. Check the Pack's source and structure before adding it, then restart and test a short round before installing anything else.
Use the base game or No Gameplay Demo to confirm microphone detection, recording, and playback before you attribute an audio failure to a Pack.
Confirm the Pack type, expected folder, creator notes, game version, and file types. Treat unexpected executables or scripts as a separate risk.
Copy only one Pack into its documented location, restart the game, and confirm that its selector entry appears.
Run a short round. Check clips, captions, images, and playback rather than stopping at the selector.
If the result changes, remove the newest Pack folder, restart, and repeat the base test. Keep notes on what you added.
This workflow checks structure and behavior. It does not certify a community download as safe, compatible, or licensed.
