Install shortcut cannot be changed.

Postby bigbakaboon » Fri 01 Sep, 2023 1:22 am

Hello,

Basically i have steam set up to my SSD C:. But all of my actual steam games go to my larger D: drive in an overflow folder.
I can change the install location to where my DoW2 retribution folder is, but the shortcut it creates goes to my C: drive, and whenever i change the pathway through properties, i keep getting an "invalid location" error.

The Elite mod folder is in my DoW2 folder, but I can't find an .exe to run anywhere, outside of the desktop icon the installer makes.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Would recommend asking at the technical-discussion section of the main Elite Discord as well. https://discord.gg/jKVfpj3

in steam u can create multiply steam libraries and then choose which one to install to
then u should change launch options in game properties in steamlibrary, set -modname elite

i think u should create a new library on D, reinstall game here and use mod installer. if that not helps use manual launch options editing
