YAY break my mods list again sooooo fun

[󠀡󠀡MɨxɇđǤȺmɨnǥ]

my god just spent the week sorting out 150mod list fully working together for this smaller update or patch to break everything and hours of work making them work one by one. i wish they would allow you to turn off auto update so you stay on your current version and can update much later on.

i did this like 2 days ago, due to one mod broke so i had to load the game up like 1000x and turn one mod on at a time i play with over 150mods and without them base game just feels so empty and boring now. like i have so many map mods unit lore friendly mods lord mods ect ect. it's insane that a small 500mb breaks it every few days. why can't they just make it one big hotfix and release all in one go.

i would but i like to be online lol. and the rollbacks don't seem to fix it so like perma broke until either all mods fix themselfs or until i want to spend another few hours turning them on 1 by 1 until i find the ones that make it CTD

Christ on a stick.

You people want to go back to what CA did in the patch cycle for 3.0? Where they wouldn't patch for months. Not fixing bugs and issues for said months?

You know, the excuse people used as validation for their mouth frothing rageboner in the 4.0 cycle?

Also, y'all know your complaint is with Steam for forcing EVERY single game on the platform to auto-update without your input, and not CA, right?

As always, it depends entirely on what mods you use. I have over 50 mods installed, and hardly ever do they prevent me from loading existing saves. This is an entirely a user-created issue.

It actually was like this, and everyone cried about it and demanded more frequent updates. Well, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Hating CA for everything they do or don't do is a hobby for a part of the community.

No sympathy.

[Velber]

i feel your pain but thats the cost of being a mod user, it comes with the package
be happy though that these updates are small or youd have way more mods broken

for the 100th time
You need to set steam to only update the game on launch. Whenever hotfix hits, do no start the game, instead launch shazbot's mod manager and press the button to copy all mods to data, this will prevent any mods from updating to the new patch, then set previous patch in beta options of the game, you will not redownload anything as the game didn't update in the first place. This way you keep both the game and mods on old patch.

Apparently you failed to read the terms of service.

Using mods with a product still in development is going to break them, always has & always will. Not CA's concern. It comes with the package

What you've said makes no sense.

CA allows and encourages the use of mods. Many of the modders from back in 2002/2003 when I first started playing TW and enjoying mods, moved onto working for CA and working on TW games. Mods have added hundreds of thousands of hours of "replay'ability" to TW games over the decades. TW Games that would have been long dead without Mods and Modders.

Mods and our great Modders are what have made the Total War franchise the beast that it is today in the gaming industry.

Talking down to mod users, and by association talking down to the Moding community, and pretending we're idiots for using mods, is pretty pathetic.

There's a valid complaint to how updates are forced on Steam users. If we could simply DISABLE ALL UPDATES*(to include disabling mods autoupdating) and access the game via hitting "PLAY" in our library without having to jump through hoops, all these issues would go away.
