Recommendation: Install the patch. If you are a modder hoping for a workaround, give the community until patch 1.610.0.x. As of today, “E” is dead. Testing and community reports confirm that the following

If you are a member of the modding community (visual mods, car sound replacements), the “E Patched” status has severe implications. Players with less than 16GB of RAM frequently
