Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Modding Do patches still reset dialogue history on modded game?

It used to be that on my game with mods installed, with every new patch the game would reset the dialogue history - and i didn't like that.
Is that still a thing?

It was the reason why i stopped playing months ago, hoping the patches will eventually stop, and then i will be finally able to play the game the way i want, but i am not patient enough
(i am NOT complaining about Larian fixing the game - THANK YOU Larian, keep at it please)

If i understand correctly, the history reset is a side effect of the "mod fixer" (be it via my script, or via BGSE), which causes the game to "recompile the story" (whatever that means) ?
So, i am thinking - if i convert all my mods into "replacers" (***), not needing a "mod fixer" anymore, the history resets shouldn't happen anymore.
Am i right?
(*** not sure how else to call it. What i mean is not using a PAK mods, but placing raw files directly under "Data" folder in the game installation path)


If i am right, before i start converting all of my mods into "replacers", i want to know whether the dialogue history reset with every patch is still a thing?

So, i converted all mods (Basket Full of Equipment, and all of my own mods) into loose files.
Not a single PAK mod remains, and i got rid of the mod fixer (not using BG3SE either).

Thanks to the Larian's recent little update P6H8 (Hotfix #24), i could immediately put my hypothesis to test, and the results were exactly as i expected.

After updating the game, i loaded and old save, and...
- all mods work perfectly fine
- no dialogue history reset


That said... I am still waiting for a true test when a major Patch drops.
P6H8 (Hotfix #24) was just a tiny little update barely containing any game data, so i cannot yet rule out that this affected how the game treated my old saves.
MAYBE the game didn't even need to "recompile story" for this little patch, while some big major patch could still need it regardless of anything.
Can anybody using PAK mods alongside a "mod fixer" let me know, please, whether their game did "recompile story" after updating from Hotfix #23 to Hotfix #24?
