It's probably me you need to be talking to for this patch.

Let me double-check it myself on my H2O and I'll get back to you.

In the meantime, a couple of basic questions:

1. Are GeoffR's patches the only patches you're using to patch the nickel file? i.e. you're not also using some of tshering's 'Modifications for Bad Eyes' or pipcat's alternative nickel patcher, are you? If you were using multiple patching methods then it would be quite easy for each method to be wiping out the changes from the previous method.
   
2. Have you also enabled any of the other patches in GeoffR's nickel.patch file? If so are those patches working OK?
   
3. When you run 4.3.8842.bat can you confirm that the end of the console log looks something like the following - specifically the 5 red lines:

ETA: The 33% reduction patch is working for me. See attached screenshots from my H20. I haven't applied GeoffR's Custom Footer patch so you can see the difference in depth of the header and footer in the 2nd image.
