I must be dumb as shit, because every time I try to drop the patch into the game directory I get the same message View attachment 5388418
Its basically acting like an un-modifiable file, any help would be awesome
- You seem to have downloaded only the first part of the split download file.
- You haven't extracted the downloaded file as the "Installation" section in the original post (OP) of the thread instructs.
- You can't extract the file unless you have all parts of the split download, see #1 above.
- Download all parts of the split download into the same folder;
- Extract the split archive and you'll find a single original game archive file in it;
- You can delete the parts of the split download after you've extracted the original game archive;
- Now extract the game archive into a folder where you want to run it. Use a folder inside your Windows user profile if you have no idea what NTFS security settings are, what they mean or how to change them;
- Now try to run the game. Do not add any patches before making sure that it works;
- Now you can add any compatible and up-to-date mods. Usually only one unless all other mods claim to be universal, the kind that won't modify original game files.
* Why so many steps and so complicated?
- Because you chose to download the split archive instead of the single download file.
