Every mod container the launcher installs needs a .pak file beside it, or the
game never discovers the container. Until now the launcher found the smallest
.pak the game ships and copied it — 339 bytes that happen to be an empty
archive. It now writes that empty archive itself, the same bytes the game's own
stubs carry apart from a seed that hashes nothing.
Changed
- The stub
.pakis written by the launcher, shared with the tag editor and themjolnircommand line, rather than derived from whatever the installation happens to contain. An installation with no small shipped.pak— or one the launcher could not read — no longer stops a profile from materializing.
