Sometimes when Steam crashes or there is a problem with it (or a game running from it) Windows 7 thinks that Steam needs to run in compatibility mode. This is a problem, because Steam doesn’t need to be in compatibility mode and shouldn’t be. Compatibility mode can cause issues with some games.
Unfortunately turning this off isn’t as simple as right-clicking on the shortcut (or even the
steam.exe
file), viewing the tab, and unchecking the Run this program in compatibility mode for option.Fortunately I found this quick fix using a simple registry edit:
- Go to the Start menu and type “
regedit
” into the search box and press . If you have UAC enabled you’ll need to click to continue. - Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionAppCompatFlagsLayers and delete the entry for the
steam.exe
file. - You should also see if there is an entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the same location and delete it as well. Failing that, check in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionAppCompatFlagsCompatibility AssistantPersisted.
- Restart your computer. Steam should no longer run in compatibility mode.
I think it’s unfortunate that Windows 7 automatically applies compatibility mode without your consent and without a user-friendly way of turning it off, but at least it’s relatively easy to fix. If you’ve encountered this problem and have another solution or more information let me know in comments!

Instead of slogging through the main game and hoping the RNG rewards you with great loot, many players opt to use Steam Workshop mods to make things easier. There’s a big drawback to using mods though — enabling a mod will turn-off achievements and unlocks in-game. All your progress won’t mean anything, basically, and new characters can’t be earned.
That’s a huge pain. Steam User Sorario Prosperity had the same problem, and figured out a way to circumvent the annoying limitations that are built into Steam. Yes, you can install life-saving mods that make Binding of Isaac much easier and still unlock stuff, you’ll just need to install mods manually. Let us explain.
How to Manually Install Mods
[UPDATE: Added a new, more reliable method for manually installing mods.]
Note: This guide is for Windows-based systems, and assumes you’re using the default installation path for The Binding of Isaac. Mount and blade warband abandon claimant.
Manually installing mods for Steam can be a simple process. To start, you’ll need to extract resources from The Binding of Isaac. To do this, find the ResourseExtractor.exe in The Binding of Isaac installation folder. Find it here:

Using the ResourceExtractor.exe will unpack files onto your HD, adding about 1 GB to the installation folder. Next, find the folder called “packed” — is is located here:
C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonThe Binding of Isaac Rebirthresources
Rename the “packed” folder to literally anything else. For example: packed+, packed2, packed (new)
Next, let’s learn how to locate mods, and how to install them manually. Let’s start simple — subscribe to the mod Items in Spawn — once it is downloaded, you’ll find the mod located in the folder here:
C:Users[YourUsername]DocumentsMy GamesBinding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods
The Items in Spawn folder is called items in spawn_834252318. All workshop mods have a code in the URL (Item in Spawn’s URL is http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=834252318) — use the URL to identify the mod folder.
- Now that we know where to find mod installation content, it’s time to manually install.
- Copy & paste mod folders (For items in spawn, copy and paste the folder called rooms) into the Resources folder in the Binding of Isaac registry. Find the Resources folder here:
- C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonThe Binding of Isaac Rebirthresources
