"Until Taleworlds gets their act together"?
That's... not really a good sentiment you've got here. If Taleworlds DIDN'T have their act together, they wouldn't be releasing patches at all. They would leave the game in an incomplete state forever (and effectively prove the people who claimed "this was a lazily made cash grab released under Early Access to ward off criticism!" right).
Look, I get the frustration. I know I've been annoyed by the number of times I've had to redownload mods because of patches. But it's an unfinished game, which means regular updates. (In fact, as I recall, this is the entire reason TaleWorlds was reluctant to support modding right away, and still hasn't released Steam Workshop support.) They are doing their jobs as game developers. And if Taleworlds stopped updating the game, imo that would make them look worse as devs, not better.
