LOOT is calling for a patch, with a link; link does not have the patch (EBQO and LOTD)

[Grumpy Old Dude]

Loot links the AIO patch for Legacy of the Dragonborn, to patch Even Better Quest Objectives. This patch however, does not include a patch for EBQO.

1) Is there in fact a compatibillity issue here

and if so,

2) where do I find the patch?

I have gone thru the LOTD patcher twice...there isnt one for EBQO

LOOT is not always reliable when it comes to supplementary information - it is, afterall, really just a sorting tool, and anything else that it says should be taken with a grain of salt - sometimes a very large grain - LOL!

It may be that there is no patch or that a patch is no longer needed (if in fact one ever was). I once had LOOT state that I needed a patch - for a merged file that I had created myself!

So, if you cannot find a patch anywhere, it is probably just LOOT giving wrong information based upon old, outdated - or maybe just plain wrong information that the team received.


That being said, I am not familiar with better Quest Objectives, so couldn't tell you one way or another whether there is something that requires patching for it to be totally compatible with LOTD.

It MAY be that the current version of LOTD doesn’t need a patch for it and the information that LOOT has isn’t up to date.

This occurred for me with LOTD as well in regards to one of my other mods. It was telling me a patch was needed, I couldn’t find said patch, and after some digging in LOTD’s comments section I found someone asking about the same thing and the response was “a patch for that isn’t needed anymore”.

That may be the case for EBQO.

That is essentially what I was hoping, but was not overtly optomistic. lol (knowing my luck...I had hopes but...)

No LOOT is not infallible, but it HAS pointed me to countless patches I did not know I needed so...there is that

But... did you need those patches? Like, actually need them, or was it just loot saying you did?

As the others have said, sometimes it points you to a patch you no longer need as the fix is already part of the mod, or the thing the patch fixed was taken out of the mod, etc... etc.. There are a number of reasons why, but LOOT won't always know that

That I can not say for certain. I didnt wait for the game to break to find out. I installed the patch 1st.

[SpeedFreak1972]

I think it's in the EBQO installer otherwise try Kryptopyrs patch hub https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19518 I had that patch for certain

[Grumpy Old Dude]

TY Speed. On reinstalling EBQO; the patch came up.

It's one of the patch options when Installing Even better quest Objectives.
