2026-06-26
- Added a new 4GB patcher for Steam installs on GameNative.
- Save safe
2026-06-17
- Audited the current setup and plugin-file instructions against Droid Mod Loader v0.6.0-beta.
- Removed Fallout 4-style
*activation prefixes from the TTW/New Vegasplugins.txtexample. - Clarified that
plugins.txtcontains enabled plugins, while DML'sloadorder.txtrecords the full saved list and does not replace TTW/New Vegas's timestamp-based plugin ordering. - Clarified the current manual handoff from DML profile storage to GameNative's
AppData/Local/FalloutNVfolder. - Clarified v0.6.0-beta's separate Data Folder and Game Root Folder targets, including troubleshooting for swapped targets, invalid selections, lost Android folder permission, inaccessible plugin output, and the expected absence of
DML_output. - Added TTW storefront guidance: GOG is recommended, Steam is usable with a tested folder-name/container-refresh workaround, and Epic should work but has not been personally tested.
- Clarified that automatic Game Folder detection and validation, automatic
DML_output, timestamp application, INI presets, and archive invalidation are not current v0.6.0-beta features. - Updated the glossary and mod-list handoff wording so DML activation files are not confused with New Vegas or TTW timestamp ordering.
- Credit: Thanks to TheFartFace for reporting the clarity issues corrected in this update.
- Save safety: documentation-only correction; no existing save or installation change is required.
2026-06-11
- Normalized the Pocket Wastelands page structure to match the companion guide: setup, compatibility, glossary, changelog, reports, load order, credits, and mod-list layout now use the same patterns.
- Updated the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 profile to GameNative 1.0.0 latest release, marked it verified working, and set the last-tested date to 2026-06-11.
- Linked compatibility entries to JSON profile files instead of filling the compatibility table with GameNative variables.
- Added the memory/video-memory warning: use 2 GB memory and 2 GB video memory unless the Android device has 16 GB of RAM.
- Clarified the GameNative build warning: use the current GameNative 1.0.0 standard APK/release path shown in this guide, and avoid the older v1.0.0 prerelease modern Android 11+ APK that removed custom game and D: drive support.
- Added Medusa to credits for helping identify the GameNative modern prerelease custom game and D: drive support issue.
- Changed the changelog into dated dropdown boxes.
- Updated the plugin order vs mod priority warning to the same red warning in both guides.
- Removed references to a nonexistent DML plugin-discovery action and replaced them with plugin list/load order review wording.
- Removed internal/template wording from the Pocket Wastelands mod list while keeping TTW generation and plugin-file handoff requirements.
- Kept TTW-specific setup guidance in the shared layout slots.
2026-06-03
