installing patches

[vguzz]

I was wondering if there was a way to tell Game EX to download the patch to my external M: hard drive rather than the internal C: drive..

more specifically.. can you tell game ex to download its update to specific drives. I originally Downloaded Game EX onto my internal drive but have since moved it onto my external hard drive where i have been working on it for months. Every time a patch comes out how however it wont update it to my external drive drive. Maybe there is a way i can download a patch manually and drop it where it needs to go. Thanks

If you go ahead an actually "install" gameex in the folder of the new location. The auto update *should* work. as it should remember the location. If you just moved the folder with explorer thats probably the problem.

Well i didn't original install it to my external drive.. I put it on my main computer, got it working then moved it. Now i work on it totally from my external drive.. if i do a reinstall to my M drive i'll lose all my settings. I'm talking 6 months of work lol.. is there a way i can just grab the patch manually from this site?

You shouldnt loose your settings. That is the proper way to move gameex. Copy the folder and install over the top. It has an advanced install, theres no patching involved with GameEx.

What auto update does is download the full install, there is not a patch as such. You can download the full install from the site of course, but you should install it where you want it to go.

Its highly unlikely yourll lose your settings, but you can always back up the folder.
