The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game Mod - Unification Patch v.1.1 - Download

Unification Patch is a tool for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, created by Wasteland Ghost.

Description:

So, there are essentially two versions of the game: 1.31 GOG GOTY ("GOTY") and 1.31 ("non-GOTY").

GOTY and non-GOTY versions are almost the same, but they have enough differences to create modding problems.

This package alters BASE game scripts and makes both game versions identical:

- main menu will be random as in GOG GOTY version;

- non-GOTY will get small fix for NG+ item levels that exists for GOG GOTY version only;

- "DLC installed" message will no longer pop up after loading a save;

- main menu greeting message will no longer be shown (not in GOG GOTY, needed for compatibility reasons);

- "DLC installed" banners in main menu will no longer be shown if you have both paid DLCs installed;

- GOTY will get "Downloadable content" option is main menu where all installed DLCs will be shown;

- the most important part: base scripts for both game versions will be identical making things easier for both

mod creators and mod users.

To install the package copy both "content" and "Mods" folders to your <Path To The Witcher 3> folder, replacing files

when prompted. Re-merge all your Script Merger script merges if you had any.

The main source of merge conflicts between non-GOTY and GOTY versions are menu related scripts. Problem is that menu

related code is not restricted to menu scripts but is also present in generic r4game.ws file that is used by mods

sometimes not even remotely related to menus (like experience mods, for example). The nature of menu related changes

in GOTY does not allow for auto-merging in Script Merger and partial merges with manual conflict resolution result

in broken script if user has no experience with TW3 code. If you have such a problem, this patch will help you to

resolve it and mods will auto-merge properly after installing it.

Note that some mods might still have merging conflicts, but they will be easier to resolve: watch out for keywords

like GOTY message, DLC available, NG+ available, menu type in scripts and if you have conflicts where these are present,

choose A (base game) and make sure the code around that conflict in your merged file is identical to the code in A

(delete auto-inserted lines from B and C if necessary).

If you want to revert back to your 1.31 non-GOTY version, download "Base 1.31 scripts" and copy "content" folder

to your <Path To The Witcher 3> folder, replacing files when prompted. Then go to your <Path To The Witcher 3>\Mods

folder and delete mod0000____CompilationTrigger folder. Re-merge all your Script Merger script merges if you had any.

If you want to revert back to your 1.31 GOTY version, download "Base 1.31 GOG GOTY scripts" and copy "content" folder

to your <Path To The Witcher 3> folder, replacing files when prompted. Then go to your <Path To The Witcher 3>\Mods

folder and delete mod0000____CompilationTrigger folder. Re-merge all your Script Merger script merges if you had any.
