Will the new patch break already existing mods ?

I read in the patchnotes that some elements in the editor will be changed / moved. And i also remember Relic broke quite a lot of existing maps when WFA was released.

I just hope they won't break mods with this.

The changes are for the User Interface (UI).

Ok, i misread then, i thought they were changing the objects hierarchy too. Good news then, thanks for the answer, and btw, thanks to the useless angry cat who posted before you, you just made your way in my "ignore dickheads" script on tampermonkey, gratz.

PS: just found the line that rose my concern:
"Much of the data in racebps has been moved to a new army category that is moddable giving modders greater controls over each army’s tech tree."

Since racebps was not a moddable category before, it should not break any mods.

Makes sense, thanks

One of the previous patches broke some of my tuning mods, in the sense that they would not build without some corrections. Curiously, you could still play the published version, so I was able to make the repairs at my leisure.

IIRC it was because they renamed or moved some field(s) in the attribute tree.

Whenever a patch comes out, it is a good idea to open the Attribute Editor and look for any warnings or errors (View > Output). They are very descriptive, which allows you to pinpoint any possible conflicts.

For example, if something has been set to null, when it should have a value, that could cause issues. So, you can go through the list of warnings or errors and make sure stuff like that is fixed.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
