Game Updater now uses a new folder

Recommended Posts

I have succesfully used the Game Updater to install and update a secondary Arma 3 installation of the Dev branch for many months.

Up till recently it has maintained the installation in the folder I initially told it to use (C:\SteamGames\steamapps\common\Arma 3 [Dev]). However, it has now changed it's mind and wants to install to another folder (C:\SteamGames\steamapps\common\Arma 3 [development]]). 

This is quite annoying, as I unless I change the folder each time I use it, I now have no choice in the matter. It has also downloaded and installed a third 37GB Arma build, wasting drive space and bandwidth.

 

Please revert to old behaviour.

This behavior is not intended. I've prepared a special build, can you try it?

  1. Download this archive
  2. Extract its content to ...\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\GameUpdater
  3. Run GameUpdater.exe

The special build acts like it used too, remembering my install folder between sessions. Nice work :)

Thank you for that small fix. It works like a charm.

I am looking forward to the next update.
