Best Practices

  • Back up your game’s package/ and/or game saves folder externally before major changes.

  • Keep Decima_pack.exe in the manager folder for correct output placement.

  • Use Un-Check All before selecting specific mods to avoid mistakes.

  • Close the game to avoid file-lock issues during Restoring or Packing.

Modified Game Files Detected (Hash Mismatch) If a modified streaming_graph.core file is found, a pop-up will notify you and suggest removing it. You can safely ignore this warning if you're aware of the modification. However, if you experience crashes, instability, or unusual behavior, it's strongly recommended to remove the file before using Restore Game Files to ensure proper recovery.
