i wonder if simphony of the night have means to see if beggar use his fixes
By the end of the day, we just want a bug free game. So if he uses them or not, its all good.
However, even among pirates, credit should be given.
To answer your question, I would know. There are ways to check.
I don't think that he use his fixes, maybe just the one which breaks the game, because he knows that Sotn will fix his game as always.
That is what I never wanted. I rather he stepped his game up and release a less buggy version and fix his bugs himself. He is getting paid after-all and it should be his responsibility to his patrons. If by some chance this game continues for longer, I will stop the bug fixing. I am already getting fed up with the game itself anyway.
Currently, if he uses the bug fixes or not, who cares. I'm sure most just concern with their left and right hand, which I don't blame them

. So a bug free game whichever way, is all good. Besides, he doesn't give credit and seems to focus on the income of the game. So what can I do, besides stop releasing bug patches. But on the other side of the coin, who are affected and what can it lead to if the dev don't step up?
He needs to be discipline and fix his

and I'm sure with the decrease in his patrons, all of a sudden he will be working harder. Money makes the change in some, just my thought.
Nevertheless, with regards to the fix, even among us "pirates" there is/suppose to be a code
So old saves still wood work
"re-entering all content" makes me afraid of previous saves ceasing to work.......
It should work, all the content is what he added and any old content, regardless of data change will just read the value in the slot anyway. He added the major plugin before any release, so no save will be affected. If he specifically change the whole game up, meaning the data positions + major plugin change, then there might be some bugs in old saves. Normally a dev suppose to tell his audience if a new game is required.
