[CLIENT] Can you guys stop changing the folder when you do small minor patches every few hours?

The folder in this directory: C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_game_client\releases

Patch 6.6 changed the folder to 0.0.1.65. Okay that's fine, it's a major patch.

Activating Aurelion Sol and changing the login splash a few hours later changed it to 0.0.1.66. Was this really necessary? This means I have to reinstall all my (legal, sound) mods for the game, and I don't have an SSD so it takes like 30 minutes just to restore a clean backup of my League folder so I can patch properly.

Besides restoring the backup taking forever, installing the mods is super annoying too because of the convoluted way you have to go about disabling the "scan and repair" function. Is this game ever going to be more mod-friendly?

Don't blame Riot on your mods not working anymore. Just because they won't punish you for using it doesn't mean they need to accommodate it. I suggest posting this on the 3rd party app developer's boards.

What would posting on a 3rd party board do? lmao.

It's not even a mod made by someone else. It's my own mod. It's not even a "real" mod, it's just simply me deleting the entire HUD soundbank because it hurts my ears on spammy champions when it makes the "cannot cast that right now" noise.

You could probably create a batch file script that deletes the file whenever you use it to open League (I actually did this for WoW to delete the cache so an addon would work properly).

You have to use RAFManager to edit League files because they store them in their own proprietary archive format, so a batch file wouldn't work. The "repair" function of the patcher also does some fucked up shit. You can't just repair and delete, you have to patch a clean league folder (which requires 30 minutes of copying) and THEN delete. Because when the "repair" function "repairs" stuff, RAFManager can no longer find the files I delete (HUD_Global_audio.bnk and HUD_Global_events.bnk). It literally puts the files somewhere else for some stupid reason, and I can't re-delete the HUD sounds without a fresh install.
