Patched Kingdom Come Deliverance (1.20) shows no patch

[megatron-uk]

I have installed my Kingdom Come Deliverance (Special Edition, not Royal Edition) CUSA07180 from disc, patched it to the latest version compatible with my firmware 9.00 (it is listed as game update 1.20) and run ftpdump.

It pulls the keystone file and the base game, but does not detect any patch content.

If I process the dumped game and create an fpkg to play disc-less (gengp4_app + orbis_pub_gen), it shows up as the base game version from the disc (i.e. not the patched version) and runs as expected.

Output of the ftpdump command is:

$ ftpdump -p --debug

Done.

What is interesting, is if I use the --list option, then the KCD update patch does seem to be detected:

$ ftpdump --list --patch
Title ID    Type    Location   DB   PKG  Title
...
CUSA07180   Patch   internal   OK   OK   Kingdom Come: Deliverance
...

It could help to use an FTP client and list the contents of the directory /mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt while the patched game is running.

Whilst running, KCD shows the following from the ftp server:

The version.txt file contents is:

ver_01_09_320011_2654

... and that corresponds to the 1.20 update which is installed:

I think the version.txt file uses the internal engine build number which keeps parity with the version numbers released on the PC... whereas the update version uses the Playstation update numbering scheme, so hence they don't match.

Perhaps the patch remasters the app, and this is related to issue #11. I have no such games, so I can't test if they are dumped correctly. The correct result should be an app dump that is merged with the patch, with its version number set to 1.00, while the true version is supposed to be found in the SFO parameter "VERSION". There would be no way to dump the patch separately.

Confirmed that update 1.20 is a remaster patch. It seems the game was dumped successfully with the patch merged into the base game.
