My point was "what does that do to translating programs?"
Don't know, don't care.
If a non-native English speaker cares enough about that one single post, they will either ask or notice that it's the same word that's been repeated many times in this thread, and even in the OP itself, and take the initiative to look up the word if need be.
Yeah. so whats new? Lots of people fuck up for different reasons, I'm not sure why you are telling me?
Lots of people fuck up, but fewer and fewer are bothering to learn from their mistakes.
As for why I'm "telling you"... You've basically shot your own argument in the foot with that one piece of text.
The ones who ask about why their gameplay came to a halt with a specific "bug", are the ones to whom your own words apply.
There's possibly more who didn't read, then came back to the thread and finally noticed the glaringly obvious instructions in the OP.
Fayn Arawn already explained that patrons are aware of the file and it being required, and why.
Here, only the non-patrons and people lacking in common sense or too lazy to read big yellow writing will have issues.
I've never struggled to understand the meaning of mandatory... I've never experienced the "bug" of not having the patch installed, hence my query about what does happen if you don't have it.
If you've never struggled with the meaning of the word, then your question was pointless.
It's practically the equivelant of asking what will happen if your car doesn't have working brakes.
