chasz Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 what ever mods you have will need to be re-installed, old 2.31 skins dont work in 3.0.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 As already stated your modifications will not work on 3.0. You can't reinstall them, reapply the edits, etc. They simply won't work. You will need to contact the modification authors to find out if they have written updates for 3.0, or if they plan to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I assume you mean RC1. We do not provide support for RC1, however we believe you shouldn't have any issues upgrading now and then upgrading to final when it's released. That said, there are always bugs and issues in pre-final software, so if you cannot address them or live with them until they're fixed, you may find it better to wait for final.
