Yes, nearly all existing mods were designed for the DVD version. The only difference is a limit of about 20 mod maps in the addon folder for the disk versions.

Can you tell me more about this? Is the limit higher on Steam? Is the limit based on missions or total addons?

steam/gog is based on 1.3 beta and has a higher limit of mod maps (I dont recall the number, but more than 100 I believe)

Steams is 512 iirc

BF1 1.2's (disk/dvd version) limit for mod map instances is 50.  Mostly we just say 20 because if you have 25 with 2 eras each, then you'll be at the limit (this includes TAT3).

The actual technical reason is that the array isn't big enough and once you hit 50 it just keeps writing over the last entry.  I'm not good enough at assembler to get a bigger spot in memory for it.

with 1.2 there is a way around the addon limit by writing to the shell or some other way like appending to stock missionlist lua without having to replace shell.
