patch.bundle file missing!

[Cider Bizet]

I just decided to do some modding and soon ran with many problems, along with script compile errors.

But the biggest one so far are the .bat files not installing, giving me the error: fdnum_open

I did some reasearch, but turns out I'm missing the patch.bundle file entirely. Did try reinstalling and verifying file cache. No luck.

So, is there another way to get it back? Didn't find a place to download from google, or anywhere really.

Verify your files..

[Cider Bizet]

I did that already. Twice. No dice.

Mine is gone too. I'm guessing that CDPR did this intentionally. For what reason, I don't know.

Well, godammit.

Okay so what I just figured out is that CDPR decided to move all the XML files (what was in patch.bundle) back to the xml.bundle file in the Content_0 folder. So if any modder says that their mod is 1.10 compatible they should be offering you an xml.bundle, not a patch.bundle.

Basically in every previous version of the game the xml.bundle and patch.bundle contained many of the same files (any files that CDPR altered in an offical patch were copied to patch.bundle), the metadata store was set up in such a way that any duplicate file would be loaded from patch.bundle rather than xml.bundle.

This should be an easy fix for modders, especially if they use bundle-explorer rather than QuickBMS reimport, they simply need to move all of their modded XML files and the bundle-explorer executable into a new directory in the Content_0 folder, write a new batch file to insert the modded files into xml.bundle, and run it.

Now as to why CDPR did this, I have not a clue. Surely they were aware of all the mods that were based on the patch.bundle. It actually seems like more work for them to have moved everything back to the xml.bundle. Who knows.
