Does every patch break mods?

[Lampros]

I am thinking of buying this game, but I am wary of games that update frequently, because I mod most games of this nature.

Thanks in advance!

If you're going to be one of those 'OPDATE BROKEDED MAH MODS DIS GAME SUX' people, you should save yourself the heartache and move on.

In almost any game with mods, when a game has a moderate update, the mods will have to be updated as well or they break. This is a regular thing that someone that 'mods most games of this nature' would already know.

Yep. That is why many modders gave up on this game... And they are not back after "launch"

The vanilla experience is (in my opinion) quite enjoyable, as is. I've not done a modded playthrough, nor will I

It is enjoyable, but it's also not ready for release. I can very much see people wanting to play this with a bugfix-mod or two. Or three. Or ten.

Besides some people possibly wanting overhaul mods to change the setting, or alter the general gameplay.

My best advice to you, don't buy the game on Steam

and get mods outside steam

Will solve any potential heartache

and if you really have the discipline that we lacked...Wait until they stop working on the game, the game is not finished despite being released, it feels like it just came out as early access yesterday

Yes

[Slyke]

Not every patch and not all mods, but essentially yes. There are ways to stop it from updating, but none of them are particularly convenient (the easiest one being to simply put steam into offline mode).

1) Yes the game breaks mods that add or change scripts, because the mods have to be compiled for them to work, and they have to be compiled with the current game version. It's awefully bad idea from modding standpoint. Most games out there dont have this sort of issue and pay more attention to this issue.
The amount of abandoned and outdated mods on nexus is staggering.

2) Some mods dont produce issues when removed or non functioning mid game. Others (especially those that add new game mechanics) can ♥♥♥♥ up your savegame when no longer existant.

3) You can get around all this by locking your game version inside steam
(in Steam BETAS tab you can choose which version you want to stay on), so you wont get screwed by steam forcing an update on you. Offline mode is a bad idea.
HOWEVER, if you want to use workshop mods, they will update anyway to the latest mod version. That's why you have to copy the mods from your steam workshop folder to your game directory (like any non workshop mod from nexus or elsewhere), and then unsubscribe from the non steam version so it won't start conflicts with the non workshop copy)

It's a PITA tbh. Once you stay on a version and set up your game it's ok, but every time you want to update you have to hunt for the most recent mod version (and hope the author or someone else made an update for it).

How many of them are up to date and compatible with a "post release" version of the game? I just done a search for mods i liked a week ago. 70% of the ones i wanted where not even 1.0 release version compatible.
Of some mods you find 4 versions with 4 different authors, each updating the original mod for 3-4 game versions, before they stopped.

that is the comment from like 15 of the mod fanbois on the Official Forums on TW. "modders quit, TW robbed them" etc...

And there are LITERALLY thousands of mods. Hundreds and hundreds keep being made.. AND UPDATED.

but always some troll "mod devs left. dis game be abandonware"


lmao.

HUNDREDS.. quick glance.. shows 50... in about 30 seconds of counting.. So you can spend ... oh say.. 15 minutes and count on your own.

When u get to 1000 .. come back and reply.. Then we know u did your homework.

until then.. just accept "lots.. lots are coming out each patch. and LOTS'o Lots are updated"

We don't use logic here. Just say "Taleworlds bad" and be praised.

Them saying "release would mitigate updates" and thus modders could do their thing. Was like them saying getting the Covid 'vaccination' would make you safe.

When you look at the 1.1 notes and there are over 100 lines of FIXED (this or that) it is clear to everyone the game was (and likely still wont be after 1.1 release ready for 'release'. How many times was fixed or bug used in the release note. SOME bugs sure. But THAT many? They need to hire Poppy.....
