I have installed patches 1 and 2 and livonia's mod. Should I use the Orion fixes?? I am using the front end thingie too. Thanks!
No. They were not tested, and are known to cause crashes. While some here will agree with what he says he was trying to accomplish, many others disagree. The end result...crashes...speak for themselves.
The full Co8 v4 contains the best of Orion's fixes. I know other modders had to go through his work to ensure that the most glaring problems were fixed up. By all means try them, but I'd suggest a little caution. Install the full Co8 v4 is probably a better way to go.
