Reminds me of another game mod tism
>VTMB was never updated to recognize more than 2GB of RAM and to remove an ancient Windows XP security check that's no longer present in modern computers
>For decades everyone was led to believe the game was extremely buggy and unplayable because of this
>Unofficial Patch is propped up as "necessary" to even boot the game because of this, to the point that every wiki and walkthrough for VTMB has accidentally tagged UP-only content as being part of the vanilla game
>UP was started by some faggot who got tired of constantly updating it and passed it off to some other guy, we5p, who continues to maintain it to this day
>we5p decides, for no reason whatsoever, to start fucking everything up with constant, arbitrary changes every update which got so out of control that these changes bled into the Basic version of the Unofficial Patch as early as v7 because the mod itself was spaghetti code being wrangled by someone other than the original author
It wasn't until 2021 that people found out how to patch the game without using UP, and speedrunners made a prepack called the Absolutely Unofficial True Patch Platinum. The game actually runs just fine once you fix those two issues mentioned earlier, you'd be surprised how unbuggy it actually is.
Unfortunately we5p isn't a power-tripping retard and is able to remain cordial online wherever he goes, so he and UP's reputation remains standing.
