Longer description (optional)
I need to run this offline. I downloaded and copied patterns.xml to patcher's folder. However error message appears when patcher is executed. Error says an error occurred trying to fetch new patterns. I don't need it to fetch patterns.xml, I already have the file.
I won't fix this, because this is a feature that keeps it up to date.
But there is a way to manually do it: You need to place the patterns.xml file into this location %temp%\chrome_patcher_patterns.xml and then it will work.
This can be seen here:
If you don't have access to the temp folder, you can potentially work around this by starting the patcher with different environment variables, such as overriding the %temp% or TEMPDIR environment variable.
