Forger v2 is intended to simplify patch installation for games that use Forge files (AC Odyssey, AC Origins)
Installing version 2
- If you were a Forger v1 user, stop and follow the migration instructions below
- Extract the EXE and DLL files to a convenient folder (it doesn't matter where)
- Launch Forger.exe and click the Locate button at the end of the Game Folder line
- Browse to your game installation folder and open its main EXE file (e.g. ACOdyssey.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Assassin's Creed Odyssey)
- Forger will create a ForgerPatches folder inside of your game install folder that will hold your patches.
To install/update/remove patches:
- Extract/copy patch collection files (*.forger2) from Nexus into the ForgerPatches folder in your game installation path. There is no need to remove older versions of these files.
- Open Forger or click the Rescan button
- New patches will be highlighted in yellow, and updates to existing patches will display in green.
- Click the check next to each patch you want to install. The first installations will take some time as a new backup (*.original) file is created
Misc/FAQ
DO NOT delete the *.original files. These were optional in v1 but are required for v2. You will need to allow for extra disk space to hold them.
Migrating from version 1 (one time only!)
If you were a v1 Forger user (game version 1.2) and this is your FIRST time installing v2, there are additional instructions for you to follow. This is a result of the game 1.3.0 update.
Locate the following files in your game folder:
- DataPC_patch_01.forge
- DataPC_patch_01.forge.original
- DataPC_15_dlc_patch_01.forge
- DataPC_15_dlc_patch_01.forge.original
For each pair of files, compare the file sizes between the forge and forge.original copies. If they are different, delete or rename the .original copy.
If Forger v2 was open while you were making changes, close and reopen it before trying to install any patches.
Proceed with the installation instructions. Note that Forger v1 files (*.forger) are not compatible with version 2.
Restoring the game
If the game fails to start and uninstalling patches doesn't resolve the problem, you can uninstall manually. For each *.forge.original file in your game folder and its dlc_* subfolders:
1. Rename, move, or delete (to the recycle bin where you can retrieve it) the corresponding *.forge file with the same name
2. Rename the *.forge.original file to *.forge
3. Try starting the game. If it launches, rename the forger2.xml file in the ForgerPatches before starting Forger again.
4. If the game does not launch, use the verify/repair function for your game installation:
Steam: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
Uplay: https://support.ubi.com/en-US/Faqs/000025650/Verifying-Games-In-Uplay-UPC
5. When it completes, verify that all *.original files are out of the game folder and that the forger2.xml has been renamed.

1) chaque mod que vous téléchargés à une hiérarchie distincte.
exemple : le mod pour Ikaros dans le dossier se trouve le forger + un dossier
il faut copier et coller le forger et le dossier dans le dossier forgerpatche dans le dossier du jeu.
2) J'ai rencontré cette erreur lorsque je ne respecté pas la hiérarchie des mod que je téléchargé.

Need any insight possible
Forger detected the patch I selected it but the install button remains greyed and I have no way of installing it.
