When ever I let the autopatcher run, it complains about a SelectGUI.pcc autogenerated by the ME3Tweaks. Located in DLC_MOD_M3_Merge I have never gotten to see Kasumi on the squad select and if I delete the autogenerated file, the propper Squadselect shows up.
im not great with computers so im trying to learn how to do auto_patcher .. does anyone know of a youtube channel or some place i can go and learn about auto_patcher....
i really enjoy this mod and also thank you to anyone who can help.
Download and extract the zip and run auto_patcher_gui.exe and follow the instructions there, if you get some message about a missing .net runtime install this
True, but she moves her entire setup to the Normandy in that instant, and its in the middle of a Galactic War. Still, thanks for the mod. Great addition.
So? She's still the Shadow Broker in me3 yet there she is, on assignments with Shep, working remotely from the Normandy like with this mod. Either way, it's a mod. Staying 100% true to canon is not the focus, head canon whatever you want.
It looks like Immersive Citizens Overhaul has a lower mount priority and gets overwritten by LE2 Liara Squadmate. Would you be willing to make a compatibility patch for this mod ? If not, would the auto_patcher do the trick? Would love to use both these mods if possible. Thanks!
Yup, that is what the auto_patcher is for. It re-applies the changes needed for this mod to work to your already modded files, thus essentially creating compatibility patches automatically. The thing with this mod is that it needs to do some changes that are pretty simple but repeated across a lot of packages, so conflicts with other mods are common but usually easily resolved. Unless a mod changes a file that was modded manually (see the bottom of the description) auto_patcher can normally create full compatibility with other mods, else you will lose some changes from other mods that are overridden (e.g. LE2 community patch, though those are only a few minor changes that are lost afaik)
First of all, THANK YOU so so much for working on this. I really like that you get to use Garrus and Tali throughout the entire trilogy, and this adds Liara to that mix.
However, I am encountering a huge gamebreaking problem. The Galaxy Map doesn't load, so I cannot travel anywhere and from the Normandy I cannot use the elevator to go to the CIC, as the loading screen hangs forever.
I also noticed that the first Joker dialogue scene doesn't play out. he gushes about the leather seats but then the conversation abruptly ends, without EDI's input, his response and then the prompt for Shep to respond.
I do not have any texture mods installed. I do have other mods, but I installed them first and then ran the auto:_patcher and finally installed this mod.
Additionally, if I disable this mod, and only this one, the issues do not happen.
I also noticed that I get an warning on the logs when I use the patcher saying that MOD L2PATCH cannot be overriden and that compatibility is limited.
I assume that this is the Unofficial LE2 Patch and that warning is the cause of this bug.

Directory DLC_MOD_LE2PATCH appears to be a mod and contains file BioH_SelectGUI.pcc, which cannot be patched by this tool. Compatibility is limited.
In this case, is there a way I can sort this out without uninstalling the Unofficial Patch and this mod? I really want to use Liara for this run as she is the LI.
If not, it's fine. I understand modders have lives and this is a free content made by fans for fans. I appreciate your efforts delivering this for the community, nonetheless.
Nah the LE2 Community Patch should work fine minus the few changes that can't be patched by auto_patcher, I use it myself. I'd restore the game and redo the steps carefully and make sure you select the correct directories. If it still doesn't work, check the ME3Tweaks diagnostics, perhaps there actually is a conflict with a different mod
I made sure to follow the instructions and make sure that the auto_patcher was referencing the correct folder for the Cooked folder for this mod:
D:ME3Tweaks Mod Manager\ME3TweaksModManager\mods\LE2\LE2 Liara Squadmate\DLC_MOD_LiaraSquad\CookedPCConsole
I had the same warning errors about the L2Patch and the same problem, when trying to use the Galaxy Map it just hangs for a second on a black screen and then I get back to being Shepard but I cannot move and the Galaxy Map music keeps playing in the background. The thing is, if I just disable this mod on the Mod Manager, everything goes back to running flawlessly.
I ran the diagnostics tool with and without this mod installed, and I couldn't see any conflicts:
Then again, I wouldn't know... how does the conflict look? I try to look for anything red or with a warning or with a (!). I tried to look for videos about how to detect mod conflicts and couldn't find any. Do you know what I should be looking for?
I am at the point where I can start the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC if I speak with Liara. I can delay this, of course. I still need to recruit Samara and Thane and do all the Loyalty Missions.
Again, thanks so much for taking the time to make this mod. At the end of the day, if I can't get it to work I understand it must be something on my end as people have reported being able to use it and I appreciate your efforts, nonetheless.
I was actually able to reproduce this issue, it seems to be caused by the latest update to Casual Hubs that was supposed to add compatibility with this mod but apparently this backfired and broke compatibility entirely instead. I guess they didn't consider auto_patcher. I'll have a word.
Thank you so much for taking the time too look into this!
I really like Casual Hubs but I'll rather have Liara as a companion, so I'll disable that mod and continue until compatibility is restored. Again, thank you so much for finding the root cause so I can continue the campaign!
So I looked into it and it turns out the problem was that Casual Hub's BioP_Global_NC package (the package used instead of the vanilla BioP_Global to spawn the casual variants for selected levels) was changed to use the new BioH_Liara_00_NC package to enable her casual appearance for other hubs (previously it was just added to the Hagalaz level explicitly iirc) but they didn't add BioH_Liara_00_NC to the level's PlotStreaming array, presumably to let auto_patcher handle it, but auto_patcher handled BioP_Global_NC by adding the default BioH_Liara_00 package, I've changed it to use the new package instead. I've also published the change to the GitHub.
Try the new auto_patcher version 2.0.4. The neat thing is that Casual Hubs now also supports Liara on the Citadel, the Normandy and other hubs (provided you select the optional Casual Hubs patch for the Liara Consistency Mod).
Alright, cool. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, it's nice to finally have proper compatibility with that mod. The more Liara, the better, enjoy.
First of all thank you for this amazing mod!!! But it seems to conflict with the new ESA kiosk on the citadel that includes mornings casuals ,issue is confirmed after running the patcher twice and it not being there,then disabling liara and it being there.if you need anymore details please let me know i will be happy to provide them !!!
I can’t reproduce that, the kiosk works fine for me and I don’t see why it wouldn’t. The relevant files have no major or manual changes and are trivially patchable.
Make sure to follow the steps as laid out in the auto_patcher_gui (restore -> install other mods -> run patcher -> install this mod). Note that just running the patcher is not enough, you need to reinstall the mod afterwards. If you only run the patcher you still have the old files installed. And make sure to select the correct mod directory in the patcher, meaning the location where ME3Tweaks imported the mod, not where it is installed in the game files.
Can't say I've ever seen that one before. What version of the .NET runtime are you using? You can download the latest LTS .NET Desktop Runtime for Windows x64 here
Interesting, I'd have to check with the Legendary Explorer lib devs. It does target .net 5 but I assumed it'd be forward compatible. Good to know, thanks.

I did everything again, with the same results.
I made sure to run the auto_patcher as Admin.
