They can do yes. If a patch contains a new .cat/dat file this will overwrite the fake patch when steam updates the game causing all sorts of problems. Same as you would get if you update or uninstall a mod incorrectly.
If you have a corrupted save and you had a fake patch try putting the mod back as the fake patch and overwrite the latest patch .cat/dat. You might be able to save your save.
Then either wait for a mod update before patching or uninstall the mod
and then patch. It may even work if you install the mod as a fake patch again but as the next highest number (I think 4) now.
Those suggestions will only work if the patched contained a new .cat/dat file. I can't remember if it does and im on my phone at the moment so can't check.

Yeah this, I want to know if it matches the drapes on my Kyoto, or maybe it will be better coordinated with a nice Valhalla

These are the starting conditions....unless they've changed
 |
Requirements to start the plot in the test version
- Terran Commander or Aldran Adventurer start
- Positive Terran rank (at least Local Councillor)
- Fight rank 14 |

| Wait, so it's fake patches specifically which cause this issue? |
fake patches can cause 2 problems.
first is that they might get overriten if they are the same number as the new patch. Which means you no longer have the modded files available causing the save game to seem curropt.
the other is that you have fake patches higher than the new patch which override the new patch files with older versions causing you to have a mismatch between files.
the first is fixed by reapplying the mod after the patch.
the second is fixed by updating the mod to work with the new patch

@werewolves?
If you have to post the plot start requirements, then please use spoiler tags. There are some people who want to find out these things on their own without stumbling over them in the forum. <Done. Alan Phipps>

Dont think the paranoid Terran would trust any Argon Military to do their covered stuff.

Quite honestly I didn't even know fake patches existed!
Why would someone use a fake patch?? Is this different then using a mod or a script?

what?
it's the best way to install a mod.
BUT! you just don't use it on a steam game!
egosoft has been kind enough and full of understanding to always remove DRM, and now, give nonsteam.exe just for the purpose of being able to mod games freely!
simple.
