PatchOpsIII v1.3.0-beta3 Release Notes

Overview

PatchOpsIII v1.3.0-beta3 is a follow-up to beta2. It focuses on a cleaner Windows installer, a new EXE Swapper section, improved BO3 Enhanced setup, and a simple way to choose Stable or Beta updates.

These notes only cover changes since v1.3.0-beta2.

🚀 Major Highlights

  • Windows downloads now use an MSI installer.
  • EXE Swapper is now available as its own section.
  • BO3 Enhanced setup now has a clearer install flow, source validation, help, and diagnostics.
  • Users can switch update checks between Stable and Beta.
  • BO3 Reforged has returned as a launch option.

📝 Detailed Changes

App Experience

  • Added a Stable/Beta update channel option in Tools.
  • Cleaned up the Tools page layout so system info, updates, logs, and cache actions are easier to scan.
  • Reworked the Activity Log so it keeps useful space at the bottom of the app.

EXE Swapper

  • Added the EXE Swapper tab.
  • Added options for the latest Steam build, the compatible March 2023 build, and BO3 Enhanced when available.
  • Added checks so PatchOpsIII can show what build is active and whether a backup is available.

BO3 Enhanced

  • Rebuilt the Enhanced page around a clearer setup flow.
  • Added source validation before install.
  • Added status, help, requirements, and install details so users can see what is ready and what still needs attention.
  • Kept uninstall controls separated in a collapsed Danger Zone.

Launch Options

  • Added the BO3 Reforged launch option back.
  • Kept the existing launch options behavior otherwise unchanged from beta2.

T7Patch

  • No new T7Patch changes in beta3.
  • T7Patch still follows the latest maintained Scroptss/T7Patch release.
  • LPC files still come from the legacy t7patch release because the maintained release does not include them.

Packaging

  • Windows beta releases now ship as PatchOpsIII-Beta.msi.
  • The in-app updater now supports Windows MSI downloads first, with exe and zip update paths kept as fallbacks.
  • The Windows installer uses PatchOpsIII branding and installs to Program Files by default.
  • SHA-256 hashes and VirusTotal links remain part of the release process.

🛠 Fixes

Cross-Platform

  • Fixed the update flow so beta and stable release checks can be selected inside the app.
  • Improved Enhanced page spacing and reduced cramped controls.
  • Improved empty-log handling so the Activity Log does not collapse into a tiny strip.

Windows

  • Switched Windows release packaging to MSI.
  • Added updater support for Windows MSI assets.
  • Added EXE switching workflows for Windows users.

Linux and Steam Deck

  • No major Linux or Steam Deck behavior changes since beta2.
  • Linux beta releases still include the AppImage update metadata.
  • Existing Linux and Steam Deck launch option behavior remains under beta testing.

    • Workaround: If the in-app update fails, download the MSI from GitHub and run it manually.
    • Status: Being tested in beta3.

  • EXE Swapper

    • Impact: Switching to the compatible build may require the Steam depot download to exist locally first.
    • Workaround: Follow the prompt shown by PatchOpsIII if the compatible build is missing.
    • Status: Available in beta3 and being tested.

  • BO3 Enhanced

    • Impact: BO3 Enhanced still requires a user-provided UWP dump source.
    • Workaround: Use the dump guide from the Enhanced page and validate the source before installing.
    • Status: Setup flow improved in beta3.

  • Launch Options Stability on Linux and Steam Deck

    • Impact: Launch options may not work consistently across all Linux distributions and Steam Deck setups.
    • Workaround: If issues occur, temporarily remove custom launch options and re-apply them incrementally.

PatchOpsIII v1.2.2-beta Release Notes

Overview

PatchOpsIII v1.2.2 focuses on BO3 Enhanced reliability and UX, especially on Linux/Steam Deck. This release adds automated Proton compatibility setup/cleanup, fixes UI responsiveness during Enhanced install/uninstall, and tightens status detection so dashboard state matches what is actually installed.

🚀 Major Highlights

  • Added automated Linux BO3 Enhanced compatibility flow:
    • resolves Proton source from local bundled fork or on-demand upstream download,
    • installs compatibility tool as BO3 Enhanced,
    • maps AppID 311210 to that tool,
    • sets launch options to WINEDLLOVERRIDES="WindowsCodecs=n,b" %command%.
  • Added automated Linux BO3 Enhanced uninstall cleanup:
    • clears compatibility mapping,
    • resets launch options,
    • removes installed compatibility tool and PatchOps backup tool directories.
  • Moved Enhanced install/uninstall to background workers to prevent the app UI from becoming unresponsive.
  • Updated Enhanced status model to match Reforged-style state reporting (Installed/Not Installed | Active/Inactive).
  • Bumped application version metadata to 1.2.2.

📝 Detailed Changes

BO3 Enhanced (Linux/Steam Deck)

  • Introduced Linux helper flow in utils.py:
    • configure_bo3_enhanced_linux(...)
    • cleanup_bo3_enhanced_linux(...)
    • compatibility tool install/remove + Steam CompatToolMapping write/clear
    • exact launch options set/clear path for localconfig.vdf
  • Added on-demand upstream Proton archive caching:
    • source: Weather-OS GDK-Proton release10-32
    • archive: GDK-Proton10-32.tar.gz
    • cache path under app storage and manifest normalization to display as BO3 Enhanced.
  • Added Steam process handling hardening on Linux:
    • better running-process detection,
    • safer open/close sequencing,
    • stricter pkill -x steam usage,
    • improved launch fallback/error logging.

Enhanced Installer / UI Flow

  • Replaced synchronous Enhanced install/uninstall operations with dedicated worker threads:
    • EnhancedInstallWorker
    • EnhancedUninstallWorker
  • Updated first-run default-install warning behavior:
    • choosing Enhanced now routes users to the Enhanced tab,
    • no immediate forced dump picker/open/install action.
  • Added missing browse/folder icon on Enhanced tab dump selection button.
  • Added composite Enhanced status propagation so dashboard and tab remain consistent unless a worker is actively reporting progress.

Detection and Compatibility Fixes

  • Fixed T7 false-positive “Installed” status by requiring actual T7 binaries (t7patchloader.dll or t7patch.dll) rather than config-only presence.
  • Added GameChat2.dll to the BO3 dump whitelist for Enhanced file intake.

Repository / Documentation

  • Added top-level bo3-enhanced-proton/ fork metadata and source provenance documentation.
  • Updated root README with a Forked Components section linking to the BO3 Enhanced Proton fork metadata.

Versioning

  • Updated baked application version from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 in version.py.

🛠 Fixes

Cross-Platform

  • Fixed T7 installation state detection to avoid false positives from Reforged-related config artifacts.
  • Improved Enhanced dashboard/tab status consistency and state clarity.
  • Added missing Enhanced tab browse icon for UI consistency.

Windows

  • No Windows-only behavioral changes in this release.
  • Linux-only Enhanced compatibility automation is platform-gated and does not run on Windows.

Linux and Steam Deck

  • Fixed app unresponsiveness during Enhanced install/uninstall by moving operations off the main UI thread.
  • Fixed incomplete Enhanced uninstall cleanup by fully removing compatibility mapping, launch options, and compatibility tool artifacts.
  • Fixed stale backup compatibility-tool directories causing BO3 Enhanced to remain listed in Steam after uninstall.
  • Added robust fallback behavior for obtaining BO3 Enhanced Proton source (local fork bundle first, upstream cached download second).

⚠️ Known Issues

  • BO3 Enhanced on Linux is currently Offline-Only

    • Impact: BO3 Enhanced currently runs in offline mode only on Linux installs.
    • Clarification: This is not a limitation imposed by PatchOpsIII.
    • Note: The same warning/message is also shown on game startup.
    • Status: Issue is tracked upstream by BO3 Enhanced developers; a fix is pending.

  • All-around Enhancement Mod

    • Impact: The current All-around Enhancement Mod does not work correctly when launch options are used; the Lite version remains compatible.
    • Workaround: Use the Lite version of the All-around Enhancement Mod when launch options are configured.
    • Status: Fix under investigation.

  • Launch Options Stability on Linux and Steam Deck

    • Impact: Launch options may not work consistently across all Linux distributions and Steam Deck setups.
    • Workaround: If issues occur, temporarily remove custom launch options and re-apply them incrementally.
    • Status: Behavior is being evaluated across additional distributions and Steam Deck configurations.

image

Dashboard and UX

  • Introduced a full Status Overview panel for T7, DXVK, Enhanced, Reforged, Launch Option, and QoL.
  • Updated status semantics:
    • optional/not-installed components now show neutral gray instead of error red,
    • Reforged status tracks executable install and launch-option activation as separate states.
  • Refined QoL summary logic to avoid duplicate implied items (e.g., Skip All Intros implies Skip Intro).
  • Modernized main UI with sidebar navigation, updated spacing/layouts, and icon refresh.

Graphics / DXVK / Advanced

  • Reorganized Graphics and DXVK into nested tabs with aligned container sizing.
  • Removed redundant internal tab titles to reduce visual duplication.
  • Expanded Advanced tools:
    • Clear Logs
    • Copy Logs
    • Clear Mod Files
    • Reset to Stock
  • Reset-to-Stock now runs asynchronously to avoid UI stalls and reduces log spam during bulk state updates.

🛠 Fixes

Cross-Platform

  • Improved uninstall resilience for Enhanced and Reforged workflows, including protected-file handling when backups are missing.
  • Fixed state synchronization bugs where launch-option status could remain active after Reforged uninstall.
  • Fixed launch-option gating edge cases to ensure unsupported mod profiles are blocked while safe defaults remain available.
  • Fixed reset workflow responsiveness and excessive activity-log output during bulk reset operations.

Windows

  • Added stronger download and executable integrity checks for managed binaries.
  • Improved Reforged download request compatibility and error handling.

Linux and Steam Deck

  • Preserved Linux launch-option compatibility handling while integrating new gating and workshop profile logic.

⚠️ Known Issues

    • Workaround: Use the in-app dump dialog and follow the linked guide to obtain a dump, then select DUMP.zip or the dump folder.
    • Status: Expected behavior (legal/safety constraint).

  • All-around Enhancement Mod

    • Impact: The current All-around Enhancement Mod does not work correctly when launch options are used; the Lite version remains compatible.
    • Workaround: Use the Lite version of the All-around Enhancement Mod when launch options are configured.
    • Status: Fix under investigation.

  • Launch Options Stability on Linux and Steam Deck

    • Impact: Launch options may not work consistently across all Linux distributions and Steam Deck setups.
    • Workaround: If issues occur, temporarily remove custom launch options and re-apply them incrementally.
    • Status: Behavior is being evaluated across additional distributions and Steam Deck configurations.

PatchOpsIII v1.1.0

PatchOpsIII v1.1.0 Release Notes

Overview

PatchOpsIII v1.1.0 is the first stable release following the v1.0.4 beta, focused on a built-in cross-platform updater, hardened Linux/AppImage packaging, and safer configuration handling. This release is recommended for all users on v1.0.x, especially those on Linux or Steam Deck. The primary highlight is the integrated auto-updater for Windows and Linux with more reliable release detection. 🎮

🚀 Major Highlights

  • Auto-updater for Windows and Linux.
  • AppImage-based packaging for Linux and Steam Deck.
  • Improved Steam, DXVK, and launch option handling.
  • UI/UX refinements and safer configuration behavior.

📝 Detailed Changes

Updater

  • Added a unified update button that runs OS-specific checks for both Windows and Linux (#23).
  • Enabled automatic update checks on Windows at startup with links to the latest GitHub release when a newer build is available (#23).
  • Integrated Linux update flow with Gear Lever (an AppImage management tool) to apply AppImage updates when a newer AppImage is detected (#23).

Packaging (Linux)

  • Switched Linux builds to AppDir-based AppImages with proper icons, bundled presets, persistent logs/backups, and update-friendly metadata (#18).
  • Limited Linux release asset selection to real .AppImage and .zsync artifacts to improve both manual and automatic update detection (#18).

Game Management Improvements

  • Centralized version data in version.py so packaged builds, tags, and updater prompts stay consistent across platforms (#23, #5, #7).
  • Grouped game directory tools with a dedicated update button and cached platform detection to reduce redundant checks (#23).
  • Improved game directory detection to validate and remember user selections across runs, including Nuitka onefile builds (#5, #7).

Linux, Steam Deck, and DXVK Enhancements

  • Improved DXVK-GPLAsync installs to remain robust against upstream archive changes (including .tar.zst) and to preserve downloaded filenames for clarity (#9).
  • Adjusted default Linux paths and Steam process handling to better accommodate different distributions and Steam Deck setups (#9).
  • Ensured launch options are preserved on Linux T7 Patch installs, keeping existing fs_game and mod settings intact (#9).

UI/UX and Configuration

  • Promoted v1.0.4 beta quality-of-life improvements to stable: background threading for applying Steam launch options and installing the T7 Patch to keep the UI responsive.
  • Refined direct “Launch Game” behavior via Steam so the main window Launch Game button works reliably.
  • Added admin checks for T7 Patch installs on Windows to reduce failures due to missing elevation.
  • Updated FOV slider behavior and graphics presets to avoid overwriting existing user settings unexpectedly.
  • Guarded configuration writes so they only occur once a valid install directory has been detected, reducing the risk of invalid or partial configuration files (#5, #7).
  • Improved log copy resilience and enabled automatic log cleanup every three launches to keep log files small and manageable.

Documentation and Build System

  • Refreshed the README with updated badges and clearer usage and setup guidance (#20).
  • Updated release workflows to improve tag selection and note publishing across both beta and stable channels (#20, #16, #12, #11, #10).

🛠 Fixes

Cross-Platform

  • Resolved false positives when discovering the install directory in packaged builds and ensured configuration writes only occur once a valid path exists (#5, #7).
  • Reduced log noise by tightening update-related logging and making log copy operations more resilient.
  • Adjusted FOV slider and graphics presets to prevent them from overwriting existing user-defined settings.

Windows

  • Fixed Windows auto-update handling to prevent duplicate update checks and ensure staged updates are applied safely (#23).
  • Corrected Windows elevation detection for T7 Patch installs to reduce failed installations caused by insufficient permissions.
  • Reduced Steam shutdown-related noise in logs on Windows when starting or closing the game.

Linux and Steam Deck

  • Fixed DXVK auto-install failures by preferring extractable assets and surfacing lookup errors more clearly (#9).
  • Ensured manual Linux update checks consistently surface the latest release via the GitHub API (#23).
  • Preserved existing fs_game and mod settings during Linux T7 Patch installs to avoid unintended changes to launch options.

⚠️ Known Issues

  • All-around Enhancement Mod

    • Impact: The current All-around Enhancement Mod does not work correctly when launch options are used; the Lite version remains compatible.
    • Workaround: Use the Lite version of the All-around Enhancement Mod when launch options are configured.
    • Status: Fix under investigation.

  • Launch Options Stability on Linux and Steam Deck

    • Impact: Launch options may not work consistently across all Linux distributions and Steam Deck setups.
    • Workaround: If issues occur, temporarily remove custom launch options and re-apply them incrementally.
    • Status: Behavior is being evaluated across additional distributions and Steam Deck configurations.

PatchOpsIII v1.0.4-Beta Release Notes

The latest release of PatchOpsIII is here! Version 1.0.4 brings significant improvements in user experience, stability, and functionality.

🔍 VirusTotal Scans:

🚀 New Features & Improvements

  • Enhanced User Experience (UI Responsiveness):
    • Applying Steam launch options and installing the T7 Patch now run asynchronously in separate threads, preventing the UI from freezing during these operations.
  • Improved DXVK-GPLAsync Installation:
    • The DXVK-GPLAsync installation is more robust, as it now recursively searches for the necessary DLL files within the extracted archive, making it less dependent on a specific folder structure.
    • Downloaded DXVK-GPLAsync archives will retain their original filenames for better clarity.
  • Direct Game Launch:
    • A new "Launch Game" button has been added to the main window, allowing users to directly launch Black Ops III via Steam from within the application.
  • Refactored Codebase:
    • Common utility functions related to Steam integration and launch options have been moved to a new utils.py module, improving code organization and maintainability.
  • Linux Compatibility Improvements:
    • A default game directory path for Linux installations has been added.
    • Improved handling of Steam processes on Linux with more robust process checks and timeouts.
  • Robust Launch Options Management:
    • The logic for setting Steam launch options has been refined to better handle existing fs_game parameters, ensuring correct application of new options without conflicts.
    • Timeouts have been added to Steam process management commands for more reliable execution.
  • T7 Patch Installation Enhancements:
    • The T7 Patch installation now includes a check for administrator privileges on Windows and will prompt for elevation if necessary, ensuring successful installation.

🛠 Fixes

  • Addressed various minor bugs and stability issues.
  • Fixed DXVK-GPLAsync auto-installation failures caused by new upstream archive formats by preferring extractable assets and supporting .tar.zst packages out of the box.

⚠️ Known Issues

  • All-around Enhancement Mod:
    • Current version doesn’t work with launch options (Lite version works fine).
  • Launch Options Stability:
    • May not work for all Linux distributions—still under testing.
  • Linux/Steam Deck App Icon:
    • Linux & Steam Deck versions do not currently have an app icon.
