jermin Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Do I need to generate a snapshot every time I update my game? Does JSGME use files in the snapshots to restore original files when I disable a mod? Or is it that JSGME automatically backs up the affected files before copying the mod files over when I enable a mod and use the backup files to restore the game when I disable it? This question has plagued me for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jermin Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 If you don't need to regenerate a snapshot every time you update the game, then what's the purpose of this feature? Sent from my L50t using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
