  • There’s not really a centralized collection of everything, but this /r/subredditdrama post is probably the most inclusive of the information.

    There’s quite a lot of trouble.

    To name a few, making older versions of the Unofficial Patches unavailable and deliberately breaking compatability with SkyrimVR, then filing DMCA takedowns for people rehosting those old versions (also note that the permissions for the mod allowed rehosting at the time).

    The controversy referred to as Gategate where the Open Cities mod (by Arthmoor) adds broken Oblivion Gates to the cities and caused the removal of any mod that reverted the change.

    Lastly, there’s a program called Wabbajack. An automatic modpack installer that predates Nexus’ own Collections feature. On its release, Arthmoor and team removed the current Unofficial Patch and replaced it with an automatic installer executable (like those auto-extracting archived files) claiming that “this is what people want clearly because Wabbajack is an .exe installer.”

    I actually found another /r/subredditdrama post on that last one too if you wanted to read up on it:

    I believe their currenr solution to that is to have modules for it. Like you have your general bug fixes for issues, but then you also download the “consistency” module which fixes inconsistencies such as a character being described with having blue eyes but the NPC has green eyes.

    They also actually invited Arthmoor and the rest of the team that does the Unofficial patch, but no plans for involvement were announced.











  • But you don’t know that. You’re only saying that because that’s what you think will happen. Give me a genuinely good launcher and I’ll use it. The problem is that with how much time and resources that’s been dedicated to Steam, that’s next to impossible to even stand as equals to.

    Not to mention that in cases like Epic, they don’t really care about actual user experience.

    I think I had a consistent 30 FPS on medium settings. Said performance degraded as the game progressed. My high end PC struggles with Act 3 for some reason, I don’t know where the bottleneck is there, but I decided from there that I wouldn’t even try to run the game on the Steam Deck that late in to the game.
