It has been some time, but I got around to improving a bit more stuff. Especially on the side you don't usually see which is adding the patch data when a new patch comes out 😄
With this patch I no longer have to gather any updated filelists from steamdb or have to generate them by hand, but the tool does it automatically! In a few cases this might lead to slower patching since the filelists are no longer prepared and ready to download, but typically the process should be quicker, especially when jumping between patches that have multiple other patches in between.

Please share any issues you encounter via the issues tracker here.

Changelog:

  • No longer dependent on steamdb (I still have to add some patch data, but it's way less and easier to do. Who knows, maybe I find a way to fully automate this in the future…)
  • Removed language selector since it was mostly useless anyways. (Only affected cutscenes and voice-overs) This also reduces the amount of data necessary to patch!
  • Going from a version to another version with multiple patches in between should now be much quicker (The new way also opens up ways to realize patching from an older version to a newer one. Although this is not implemented yet)
  • Slightly reduced the size of the tool because of fewer dependencies
  • Looks like some older patches which didn't work previously, do work now
  • Future released DLCs should no longer cause the tool to break if you do not own that DLC

Disclaimer:

I had to do a lot of manual copy and pasting in order to convert the patch system to the new format. If you find a patch that doesn't work, please let me know, and I will take a look! No guarantees that it is a problem with something I messed up while migrating, though. It could also be a different issue (Very old patches tend to not work, and I haven't found a way to fix this yet)
