Make sure to use the Start-Up patch first!

I wrote a whole thing here, but after beating the game I realized I patched it wrong, using only the Nightmare mode IPS. What you need to do is first use the Start-Up patch, then apply your chosen difficulty or other modifier IPS. In retrospect it seems obvious but I didn’t realize that as I was antsy to get playing. Though I did notice some changes from the base game so I guess half of the patch worked correctly, hah!

Version 1.11 Recommended - Yes
