What exactly is going on at Funcom?

How come every patch screws up the game for the modded community?

Is this deliberate?

I think itā€™s unreasonable to expect mods to not break when an update is released.

Update or patch for crom coins?

I donā€™t think the program discerns the intent of the change.

these little patches should not be causing these problems

its either rank incompetence or deliberate

Mods are not broken by the last patch. Broken is the Funcom procedure that handles all the mods on dedicated servers.

yes, agreed

and is it deliberate?

are they trying to ā€˜take back control of the gameā€™ for the sake of the Bazaar?

If so itā€™s very foolishā€¦ and would be an indication of just how important mods are to this game. If FC was smart they would understand that a HUGE segment of their playerbase uses this game as the backbone for games they literally create themselves. Many private servers arenā€™t even using it as ā€œConanā€ at all. This gameā€™s success is largely predicated on the ability to mod it. And weā€™re not just talking cosmetic items like armor, deco and entire amazing build sets. But the gameplay itself can be heavily modded and, in many ways, drastically improved from the boring vanilla game. So if the ā€œthinkingā€ is that theyā€™ll get more sales from the cash shop if they break modding for the gameā€¦ that would be literal insanity.

Exactly!

But what if they have made a business decision that the deco and armour on the Bazzar can make them money and that the wonderful items made by mods de
tracts from that?

I donā€™t really understand it. It doesnā€™t feel tested.

For a company of this prominence, it seems surprising that these things arenā€™t more adequately checked for issues prior to release.

How can modded servers be so overlooked and seemingly unconsidered where this new double-pak bloat issue is compounding a number of already known problems such as the infinite loading loop??

That would be an incredibly stupid decision. The day I can no longer reliably play this game with mods is the day I quit playing it. Which means I sure as hell wonā€™t be buying ANYTHING from the bazaar. And I know very well that Iā€™m not the only one.
