Installing the Anchor Chain Preloader

How To Install the Anchor Chain Preloader

Go to the Anchor Chain github page and download the ACPreloader.zip file from the most recent release. You can find the most recent release in the right hand sidebar underneath "Releases".
Unzip ACPreloader.zip into a folder within your Downloads folder.
Find the winhttp.dll file within the unzipped folder, and use Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X to copy or cut everything within that folder.
Navigate to your Sea Power installation. It should be located under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sea Power\.
Press Ctrl+V to paste the Anchor Chain Preloader into your Sea Power game.
Ensure that you see the BepInEx, winhttp.dll, and doorstop_config.ini files in your Sea Power folder.
Run Sea Power once to allow BepInEx to generate any missing configuration files.

You have now installed the Anchor Chain Preloader!
