concepts2a Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) A Simple question....are most or all of the mods on the Witcher 3 nexus made for the Steam version or the GOG version, or a combination. Is there a way for the Mod Author to show what version of the game the mod is for. Also, would a version made for Steam work on the GOG version of the game, and vice versa. I have the GOG version, and having trouble with the mods .bin files. Edited September 25, 2015 by concepts2a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drone456 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Honestly I don't think it matters what version of the game you have. Since it's the same .exe used for either version, just one has a DRM layer (Steam) added onto it. Also the various files (.bundle, .ws, etc.), and the modkit should be independent of what version you own as well. I could however be wrong, but I am relatively confident that I am not. Evidenced even more by the fact that Nexus, and subsequently mod makers don't mention the version that their mod was made on/for. Nor has any game that has mods, that I've seen. The only exception to this I think would be Steam Workshop, since it would have to hook into Steam to download, unpack, add, update, etc. What specifically are you having trouble with? Since I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the mods .bin files". I too have the GoG version of the game, and have about 50-60 mods running with no currently perceived issues. Hopefully I can offer some type of assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concepts2a Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Drone456, Thanks for your reply....sorry been away from my system for a few days. In answer to your question some of the files I've come across have an actual .bin file inside them. Never run into this before and have no idea where to place it. Contacted the mod author and came back to me like I was nuts or something, because I asked about where the .bin files were to go....he never did tell me. If you have any idea, I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give. I've added mods to my other Witcher games, never ran into this before.

Drone456 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Would you mind telling me what mod you downloaded that has this? Because I don't think I've come across a mod that has had a .bin inside it. And would like to see if it has a .bin for me as well. Additionally have you tried redownloading this mod, to see if perhaps Nexus, or even the Nexus Mod Manager (if that's what you used to install it) potentially screwed up the download? Such as not unpacking it correctly or something? Also no worries on the late reply man. At least you did indeed reply, so thanks for that :) @lurumagno Hey luru, yeah the new update seemingly broke like every mod possible. Admittedly it is a pretty massive patch, so that seemed likely. If I were you (if you don't already), I would keep an eye here (http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/newrecently/?) to see if any of your installed mods have updated for patch 1.10 compatibility. Alternatively, you can just track them I guess. So that way you're notified when they update. Can't really tell you how that all works, since I haven't actually done it. I just watch that link I sent you, to see any updates/new additions. Hopefully your mods get fixed soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
