PatchOpsIII v1.2.0 Release Notes

Overview

PatchOpsIII v1.2.0 is a large feature release since v1.1.0, centered on BO3 Enhanced support, Reforged-first mod compatibility flows, and a major dashboard/UI overhaul. It also adds stronger integrity checks, safer uninstall behavior, and a one-click reset path back to stock.

🚀 Major Highlights

  • New BO3 Enhanced tab with guided install/update/uninstall.
  • New BO3 Reforged workflow with executable install/uninstall, integrity checks, and T7 settings support.
  • Launch-option management updated for current BO3 compatibility constraints:
    • Workshop mod options are gated when unsupported.
    • Default and Play Offline remain available.
  • New Status Overview dashboard and improved mod/QoL visibility.
  • New Reset to Stock in Advanced to restore config, launch options, and managed files.

📝 Detailed Changes

BO3 Enhanced

  • Added bo3_enhanced.py service flow for:
    • latest release discovery from GitHub,
    • archive checksum caching (bo3_enhanced_checksums.json),
    • validated install (dump-first, enhanced-last),
    • backup-aware uninstall with protected executable fallback.
  • Added guided dump source selection for DUMP.zip, dump folder, or BlackOps3.exe parent.
  • Added strict dump/install safety constraints and rollback-friendly backup handling.
  • Added Enhanced state tracking with warning and compatibility gating.

Reforged + Launch Options

  • Added Reforged executable install with SHA-256 trust validation and backup preservation.
  • Added Reforged uninstall restore flow and launch-option cleanup safeguards.
  • Added Reforged T7 settings editing (players/T7.json) including password visibility controls.
  • Added workshop profile install/status integration in Launch Options:
    • one-click workshop open + apply,
    • per-profile install/subscription status indicators,
    • improved row layout (? help near mod name, right-aligned status).
  • Added compatibility gating so workshop mod launch options are disabled when unsupported, while Default and Play Offline remain usable.

Dashboard and UX

  • Introduced a full Status Overview panel for T7, DXVK, Enhanced, Reforged, Launch Option, and QoL.
  • Updated status semantics:
    • optional/not-installed components now show neutral gray instead of error red,
    • Reforged status tracks executable install and launch-option activation as separate states.
  • Refined QoL summary logic to avoid duplicate implied items (e.g., Skip All Intros implies Skip Intro).
  • Modernized main UI with sidebar navigation, updated spacing/layouts, and icon refresh.

Graphics / DXVK / Advanced

  • Reorganized Graphics and DXVK into nested tabs with aligned container sizing.
  • Removed redundant internal tab titles to reduce visual duplication.
  • Expanded Advanced tools:
    • Clear Logs
    • Copy Logs
    • Clear Mod Files
    • Reset to Stock
  • Reset-to-Stock now runs asynchronously to avoid UI stalls and reduces log spam during bulk state updates.

🛠 Fixes

Cross-Platform

  • Improved uninstall resilience for Enhanced and Reforged workflows, including protected-file handling when backups are missing.
  • Fixed state synchronization bugs where launch-option status could remain active after Reforged uninstall.
  • Fixed launch-option gating edge cases to ensure unsupported mod profiles are blocked while safe defaults remain available.
  • Fixed reset workflow responsiveness and excessive activity-log output during bulk reset operations.

Windows

  • Added stronger download and executable integrity checks for managed binaries.
  • Improved Reforged download request compatibility and error handling.

Linux and Steam Deck

  • Preserved Linux launch-option compatibility handling while integrating new gating and workshop profile logic.

⚠️ Known Issues

  • BO3 Enhanced requires a manual game dump

    • Impact: PatchOpsIII cannot download game dumps automatically; you must provide a valid UWP dump source.
    • Workaround: Use the in-app dump dialog and follow the linked guide to obtain a dump, then select DUMP.zip or the dump folder.
    • Status: Expected behavior (legal/safety constraint).

  • All-around Enhancement Mod

    • Impact: The current All-around Enhancement Mod does not work correctly when launch options are used; the Lite version remains compatible.
    • Workaround: Use the Lite version of the All-around Enhancement Mod when launch options are configured.
    • Status: Fix under investigation.

  • Launch Options Stability on Linux and Steam Deck

    • Impact: Launch options may not work consistently across all Linux distributions and Steam Deck setups.
    • Workaround: If issues occur, temporarily remove custom launch options and re-apply them incrementally.
    • Status: Behavior is being evaluated across additional distributions and Steam Deck configurations.
