📋 About This Mod
You don't need this patch for the next gen (4. 0+) version of the game.
Update: if you came here in 2022+, read this and this.
Russian patch description — Описание патча на русском языке.
Version 1. 31A (GOTY 1. 31A) is the same as 1. 31 (GOTY 1. 31) modding-wise, because it only affects GOG Galaxy integration: it adds Cloud Saves service to the game. Install and uninstall procedure for A version is the same as for non-A version. Version 1. 32 is the same as 1. 31 as it only adds Simplified Chinese language support and soesn't affect existing mods or this patch.
What Unification patch does
The patch contains only official 1. 31 and 1. 31 GOG GOTY scripts and only official fixes which are available to GOTY users. If you have non-GOTY version of the game, installing the patch will make your game almost identical to GOG GOTY. If you already have GOG GOTY version of the game, this patch will ensure your game is backwards compatible with non-GOTY while still keeping all GOTY changes and fixes. In other words, Unification patch makes both game versions identical, allows mod makers to release single version of their mods and saves mod users from mod version/game version conflicts.
Do I need this patch?
Yes, it is needed for all versions of the game.
Why do I need this patch?
To prevent compatibility issues when using script mods.
Which mod version should I use with Unification patch?
- If the mod you're trying to install supports Unification patch, you should use Unification patch version.
- If it doesn't have Unification patch version, but has GOTY version, you should use GOTY version.
- If the mod doesn't have Unification patch version or GOTY version, use 1. 31/1. 30 version. Some 1. 31/1. 30 mods might work with Unification patch and some might still create merging conflicts. You can either resolve these manually (see below) or post a request in comments section.
