Help with mods

Post by Chris21wen »

Put it here as it might get picked up quicker.

Simple really. I've not got DW2 and having played DW since it came out thought I'd try a mod. Various posts recommend Bacon mod and that's were I'm stuck. Info says it's an exe but I can't find it. All I can find is some txt files in a dropbox that I can't download anyway.

So were is it please.

Baconmod is here: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 2&t=309594 but I'm sure you know that.

Latest is 1.82 but post 1335 on page 67 says:

Note that BitDefender (and possibly others) still falg the exe as a virus. This made compiling and building quite bothersome. When you copy the ese your AV will probably delete it. For BitDefender just click "restore" and you will be fine. You will have to do this for each folder location where you copy the exe. I will sent the file to Bid Defender today and ask them to fix their false positive. I guess I shouldn't be too upset. I'd rather suffere through a hundred false positives than one false negative.

Windows Defender deletes it as well. I exclude it. I have no issues but it's up to you to use it or not.
