technical OOTP question

Post by usnspecialist » Wed Aug 26, 2020 12:43 pm

so due to space restrictions on my hard drive i moved all of my OOTP files over to an external hard drive i have, but when i open the game it keeps creating a new folder on my main drive and trying to pull the brewster from there (which of course, it cant). It wont let me try to load a game from a different drive, but i can try to "restore a backup" from there, but none of the brewster files seems to work... Anyone have any insight on how i can make this happen?

It is a PC if that helps.

Not my area of expertise. If none of the guys here do that, maybe drop a line in the OOTP open forum.

Randy. Randy. Randy. Come on. You put the pornography on the external drive and keep the other stuff on the main drive, so stuff like this doesn't happen.

This sounds like a good situation for the "one folder" installation? Put that on the external and it should solve the issue? At least that's my understanding of how it's supposed to work.

Are you DRM free with OOTP or are you using a launcher like Steam?
