I think I've missed something. My dictionaries are being overwritten, but I don't understand how to apply this patch. Where does the inserted text go? Would love to solve this problem. Thanks!

- ReplaceBytesNOP: {Offset: 0x61089A, FindH: FFF68DAE} #size
- ReplaceBytesNOP: {Offset: 0x610878, FindH: 3FF49EAE} #isSynced
And a multi-version one (4.20.14601+) (kobopatch v0.15.0+):
Code:
Never sync dictionaries:
- Enabled: no
- BaseAddress:  {Sym: "SyncDictionariesCommand::prepareDownloadList()"}
- ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 1048, FindH: 0CD5,     ReplaceH: 0CE0}         #permissions
- ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 1026, FindH: FFF68DAE, ReplaceInstNOP: true}   #size
- ReplaceBytes: {Offset:  992, FindH: 3FF49EAE, ReplaceInstNOP: true}   #isSynced
I think I've almost figured out why this is happening.

Thanks to Alanon for helping to debug this!
