So... it somehow ended up fixing itself in my desperation to get it working. Here's what I did: - I enabled proxy deployment. Launched with Steam client... patches not applied. Launch with Patch Manager... nothing - In my desperation I set the exe to run as administrator. Tried again with proxy deployment and Launch with Steam... patches not applied. Launch with Patch Manager... nothing - I then UNDID run as administrator on the exe... Launched WITH Patch Manager Annnnddddd IT WORKS FOR SOME REASON???????? but HOLD ON... the patches weren't applying on startup... - I then undid proxy, then launched normally with the Patch Manager. PATCHES APPLIED If this can help anyone, or even the Patch Manager developers. I would be happier than my own problems being solved rn Thank you for your patience and bearing with me Leilukin! ALSO I guess it goes without saying but PartySwap now works FLAWLESSLY with the party select UI. No blanking on the portraits. You also DO NOT NEED Desteamify patch to launch with the patcher on windows. It works perfectly right now for some reason.

Unfortunately, it still refuses to launch from the patch manager... still getting the same errors Tested with CLEAN original Aspyr 1.0.2 NO Deasteamify.... Result: game does not launch. exe pop-up window message as if steam isn't open.... i have steam open. See CASE1 photo attached. Tested with CLEAN original Aspyr 1.0.2 Deasteamify ENABLED... Result: game does not launch at all despite Deasteamify temporary fix enabled. See CASE2 photo attached. The DeadlyStream Editable EXE hash is not recognized by the patch manager, and no patches show up as usable on it, so i guess we can just throw that one out the window as having nothing to do with this. Sorry to dump this on you as well. I understand this is not really a PartySwap mod issue, since the mod works perfectly fine otherwise with the add-on item.

Yes, I am on the Steam version Aspyr. Using patch manager 0.6.3 the latest prior build to that new release. I’m a dumbass. I did not realize I needed the editable executable from deadly stream. The patch manager GitHub didn’t seem to mention it anywhere. I will try all this tomorrow. I’ll start with the new build and try with deadly exe. I’ll reload a save from right before disciple gets recruited and report what happens.

That would make SO MUCH sense... but now that leads to another issue I was having earlier. Pretty early on I was finding that I could not launch the game from the patch manager, and turns out i need the desteamify patch. Ok simple. I applied that patch, but I STILL could not launch the game. I get this reading at the bottom of my patcher "Error: Timeout waiting for game initialization. The game may have failed to start or Stea..." message cuts off I ended up just shrugging and assuming the patcher worked cause I saw the full party UI looked fine at the time in game. I would be grateful for any assistance in getting the patcher to launch correctly

This is a lovely mod. Works great except for one exception....which actually isn't really even a problem of this mod itself. Full party swap seems to have issues once disciple gets added to party. Handmaidens icon square in the Full Party Swap UI gets REMOVED for some odd reason. I've patched, unpatched, repatched. Re-applied the gui file into overide. But no matter what I do, her icon gets removed, and just becomes blank.... and im stuck with the disciple only. At the end of the day it isn't a HUGE deal. I just ended up installing the party swap item addon as a failsafe. Is it possible that the "Improved widescreen experience" and "Widescreen UI Fix" might be interfering and causing handmaidens icon to get removed? I am using those mods as well. No other companion or handmaiden affecting mods besides yours either. Not sure what else could be affecting this.
