The dreaded G3 Fixpack Options

[Arkain]

Hi.

Well, to make a long story short: why is it not recommended? I'm curious why this fixpack seems to be the reason for many bugs or other problems. Because it's poorly modded? Because of the methods used to actually "fix" things? Something else?

Thanks for pointing out. I'll use this opportunity to give more details to those who're interested in the theory (though I guess it's already clear to most readers):

Symbol of Amaunator is a game element. It's a dependency of Item Upgrade and Improved Anvil. Since it got consumed, this caused incompatibility: it's one item, can't be used twice. So IA and IU are incompatible. It's natural, because they are two mods, of the same type. A standard fixpack can not allow such a luxury. If it removes this item*, the dependency of IU and IA will have its well-known consequences, as we know.

*as G3FP did in its earlier version -- and the reason of its remove even wasn't the dependency problem !


Again, though I told it many times already, but I want everyone to understand it: it's possible to include a fix in IU and IA. (Assuming IU is supported, which isn't entirely true to my knowledge. Let's ignore this fact.) However, there will be more and more symbols of amaunators, and no one should expect 77 other modders to read the fixpack readme thoroughly and fix fixpack's fixes, or release a mod which quality they cannot guarantee. (It's not about just one upgrade. Whole mods can be broken. Remember ToD and UB.)
