Hi, I wanted to know what´s the difference between The Darkest Day Weidu v1.10 (108 mb) and The Darkest Day Original v1.0.3 (which is 302 mb)

TDD v1.0.3 is the original version, from back in the day (1999?), created before WeiDU (an automatic process for installing/uninstalling mods).

The WeiDU version has many fixes, plus reduced size for quicker download. It is the one to install.

Thanks for answering me ¿is the WeiDu version even better than the v1.0.3a (the patch)?

Follow this general advice about which mod to use - in most cases, "newer mod is better than older mod". Not always true, but good enough. The date of the file or the version number is what to go by.

The patch would still make that version of TDD 1.03, maybe 1.04.

So look at the date/version. Which do you think is 'better' - v1.03 (patch or otherwise) or v1.10?

there's another rule that should be observed, too: weidu mods are better than no-weidu mods. and unlike the age rule, this one is always true.

so: TDD v1.11 (newer, weidu) >> TDD v1.0.3a (older, non-weidu)
