Maestro23 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Well, if you've been installing mods, you should have been backing up the original files. For the patch installation, I would copy back the original files, install the patch when it comes out for the d/l version, then re-install the mods again.

mooch49 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 i did back up the original files. so i'll just put them back, then overwrite them again with the modded ones. or would a fresh install be better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did. No need for a fresh install. It makes it kind of easy to copy/paste the files back, because 2k put everything in one folder. *Although, the patch does modify some files, besides the .exe file. So mods that were created pre-patch with those files, will need to be made again by the modders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooch49 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 so after you put back the originals and then install the patch, you can't use the same mod files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 so after you put back the originals and then install the patch, you can't use the same mod files. I believe the following files are affected with the patch: english.iff tutorial.iff loc.iff *Any mods made with these files, pre-patch... will have to be done again with the patched versions of those files.
