Choose the right change
Read the package role and the test that distinguishes it from a normal launch.
Choose this package when your problem is reading a crowded kingdom or repeating interface actions. Its options cover troop rendering, card-level information, plot labels, shortcuts and faster controls. Enable the feature that solves your problem instead of switching everything on at once.
Choose a first test
For readability, use the same small kingdom with a display option off and on. For performance, use the same scene and settings for both comparisons. The author describes hidden troops as continuing to fight; seeing fewer bodies does not mean you recruited fewer units or lost damage.
For faster play, compare speed controls before adding a second speed package. A kingdom that is easy to inspect at ordinary speed can become difficult to follow after several controls change. Keep enough time to see an unexpected placement, defeat or menu response.
What the latest release actually establishes
The v1.0.2 release describes card-discard and quest-restart shortcuts, revised level previews and startup fixes. It also reports automated checks while stating native gameplay checks still need an in-game playtest. Those are author-reported software checks, not a Patch #31 compatibility result from this site.
Recover a broken configuration
Disable the last option you changed, then repeat the same short test. If that does not isolate the problem, disable the plugin, confirm the ordinary game works, and save a copy of the configuration before changing it. A report is more useful when it names the affected option and reproduces the failure in a fresh run.

Check the required setup
Package version, loader build and game patch are separate values.
| Requirement | Version | Why it matters | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam version of 9 Kings | Unity 6000.3 / IL2CPP | The author names this runtime; no Patch #31 support statement is supplied. | Author requirementConfirmed |
| BepInEx 6 IL2CPP | 6.0.0-be.755 or newer | Author minimum for the plugin. | Author requirementConfirmed |
A reversible first test
Follow the author procedure, verify one feature and preserve the ordinary baseline.
Start with a working loader
Install the required IL2CPP loader and let its first launch finish.
Partially verifiedAdd the plugin
Use the author package or copy its BepInEx folder so the DLL is BepInEx/plugins/NineQoL.dll.
Partially verifiedCheck one feature
Look for the 9 Qualities of Life options tab. Change one display option and compare it with the option off.
Partially verifiedKeep a reversible configuration
The documented configuration is BepInEx/config/dev.oglabs.9kings.qol.cfg. Close the game before preserving or replacing a config file.
Partially verifiedRemove only this plugin
Close the game; move NineQoL.dll out of active plugins or disable it in the manager profile. Relaunch and compare. Preserve the config if you want to return to your previous settings.

Common questions
Use the stated evidence boundary when deciding whether to install.
Does the troop render cap reduce the army?
The author says it changes rendering while units still fight. Do not read fewer visible bodies as a smaller army.
