2023-09-18, archiving. Inactive in-game, could not find the time to get manual patch up-to-date, and in-game patcher problem that this works around has since been fixed way back.
Mind, it's just the manually-provided manual patch files that will not be updated. Method of manual patching has not changed, so this shall be archived.
Should you need to have updated files still, contact me or feel free to fork it. Thank you.

This Girls' Frontline [EN] Manual Patch was made for personal use, and it worked for me like a charm. It is then provided to the community as-is in case it helps anyone else. Due to differences in configurations and the like, your mileage may vary. No warranty provided; Use at your own risk. ...though do let me know, as we might be able to fix or work around what makes it not work. Worst case possible, you'd still have to Clear Cache/Uninstall anyway.
