Mr. Meogii Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I just recently downloaded a patch to a game and the instructions tell me this Installation instructions ========================= 1. Copy patch files into game installation directory. 2. Run apply_diffs.bat Now my question how do I find the games installation directory ? I know this is dumb But I lack experience at this.

Nosebleed Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 You need the original game installed and the directory where you install it in is the installation directory in which you use the patch in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Meogii Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Once I install the game in that specific directory it's it game installation directory ? If so then where exactly do I copy the patch files to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 For example Imagine you install the game in C:\Program Files (a common directory for installing most software) After the game is done installing you'll have a new folder there called "IF MY HEART HAD WINGS" That new folder is the game's installation directory and that's the folder you'll move the patch files into. I'd personally suggest you install it somewhere other than the Programs folder though because the .bat file might run into problems when running in it. You can create a folder wherever you want to install the game and when you run the installation .exe just select that folder to install the game in and once it's done move all the patch files into it and run apply_diffs.bat Mr. Meogii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 When it tells you it's done. It usually says "Press any key to continue" when it's over. Until then just let it run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
