Anomaly

Updating and Re-Syncing After SCP:SL Updates

Intended scope

Section titled “Intended scope”
  • Why vanilla updates break the modded install — GameAssembly.dll is version-specific after IL2CPP dump + patch.
  • How the Launcher detects a vanilla update — the VanillaUpdated flag flips when the vanilla build ID changes.
  • The “Sync Anomaly” flow — re-run the installer pipeline against the new vanilla, keeping user profile and mods intact.
  • What to do if Sync Anomaly fails — fall back to a clean install.

Sources

Section titled “Sources”
  • Anomaly.Launcher\Services\VersionCheckService.cs — detects vanilla build drift.
  • Anomaly.InstallerCore\InstallerService.cs — re-runs the full patch pipeline.
