Disrupt Engine — Tool Gotchas

Cross-game tool compatibility issues and known problems.

Gibbed.Disrupt​

  • Breaks at archives >4GB (The Pesky Fly confirmed). Large WDL patch archives may exceed this limit.
  • Gibbed.Disrupt.ConvertBinaryObject.exe (WD2 version) works for WDL binary objects. Use the WD2 version, not the WDL-specific one.

Unpack / Pack Tools​

ToolWorks ForNotes
UnpackLegionWDLCorrect tool for Watch Dogs: Legion archives
UnpackWD2.exeWD2 onlyBreaks on WDL (qstlijku confirmed) — corrupt output
PackLegion—Do not use — outdated, wrong format
ManageLegion—Do not use — outdated, wrong format

DisruptManager (rootCBR)​

  • Skips the installpackage trick — only packs into patch* archives.
  • Archive priorities for WDL: patch > common > worlds\london\london.

FCBastard​

  • Latest version works for WD1 only.
  • Vector3 buffer overflow on colorColor crashes WD2 and WDL.

WD2 XBG Binary Import​

  • The Blender addon's XBG binary import (import_wd2_xbg.py) supports static props and character models (pers09, wrench, etc.).
  • Character model support added 2026-09-05 — handles the different binary layout (skipMess blobs, secondary motion, mesh list variants).
  • .glm text import remains available as a fallback.
