October 3, 20178 yr I kinda feel like starting a new game of PoE while waiting for DOS2's big patch to drop, but I definitely don't want to deal with those godawful loading times again. I'm told that the IE mod fixes the problem (by disabling auto-saves), so I'm trying to install it... with little luck. I've followed the instructions (and double and triple and quadruple-checked) but the patchworklauncher.exe will not run. The windows task manager shows it running in the background for all of a half second before vanishing. I've tried multiple compatibility modes and privilege levels, to no success. Maybe it just doesn't work with Windows 10 and/or 64-bit operating systems? I dunno. The point is, it's not working. So: is there any way to bypass the patchwork launcher and install IE Mod manually? Or an alternative means of disabling the auto-saves?
October 4, 20178 yr The IE mod doesn't disable auto saves as far as I can tell, though it might be a toggle option I haven't previous noticed (it also creates a fair number of bugs). I don't think you can just manually add it to the script like that.
October 4, 20178 yr Author Hm... then is there any other option to disable the auto-saving? By the end of my game, I was waiting 20-30 seconds every time. I didn't really notice many bugs in my playthrough, so if the IE Mod doesn't mess w/ the autosaving thing, it's not necessary. (I mean, it still sucks that it won't work, but I really only care about fixing the loading times).
October 5, 20178 yr Author Yup. I'm gonna try manually deleting all of the game files (now that I've finished my playthrough) and see if it'll work w/ a fresh install. EDIT: well, it finally worked for me. Did a reboot of my my PC and re-downloaded the mod archive, too, just in case. No idea what was going wrong. Edited October 5, 20178 yr by Arsene Lupin
