How to check the file
The download page shows this PowerShell check: Get-FileHash .\NightCoop-<version>.zip -Algorithm SHA256. Compare the result with the row for your game version. Older builds stay listed; they are not removed when a new one ships.
Counts from one snapshot
At 07:24 UTC on 4 November 2026, downloads.json reported 25,037 for 0.1.0-beta.1, 53,127 for 0.1.1-beta.2, 96,112 for 0.1.2-beta and 20,860 for 0.2.0-beta: 195,136 total. Status: 1 source (NightCoop project). These are archive download counts, not a count of unique players.
Nexus and mod.io
Nexus page 35681 was an unauthorized reupload and the files were removed. The project’s own pages do not link it. Cyberpunk 2.5 added an in-game mod browser backed by mod.io, but the NightCoop download page still points only at nightcoop.net. For the current archive and hashes, follow the project download link.
Questions
Does this site host the zip?
No. The button goes to nightcoop.net/download.html, which is the project’s own download page.
Can two different builds play together?
The download page says players need the same protocol. v0.2.0-beta is protocol 164. v0.1.2-beta is 143. The two October builds share protocol 128.
