Nearly all RE Engine games were patched today
Added 2021-12-17 14:34:04 +0000 UTCCapcom pushed a patch today to nearly all of their RE Engine games (this includes RE2, RE3, RE: Resistance, RE7, RE8, and DMC5).
The patches themselves don't add anything major. For most of the games, it seems the only change is the addition of an Nvidia Gameworks logo. Capcom stated RE7 and RE8 got some small bug fixes.
Unfortunately, this can cause a small headache modding-wise. Some of these patches replaced PAK files rather than adding new ones, which means that if you had mods installed as the patches were applied, then one or more PAK files might have become corrupt. If you get weird errors (like the mod manager complaining there being unexpected changes to PAK files when installing/uninstalling mods), then do these steps:
- Uninstall all mods via the mod manager.
- Reinstall the game or right-click the game in Steam and choose Properties->Local Files->Verify integrity of game files
- Once the above step is done, click on "Re-read game archives" in the mod manager
My RE8 third person mod broke because of this patch. I'll try to get that fixed by end of today.
I didn't test all of my mods, but if anyone finds out that any of my other mods are also broken now then let me know.
