Panzer Corps multiple times on same HDD

Post by RobertCL »

Hello,

Just to share an information.

Instead of using GME to remove a mod in order to add a new one or to come back to the original game, I tested something.
Let's assume you have a 2nd PC and a huge HDD on your 1st PC.

1. Install normaly Pz Corps on PC nr 1 (e.g. c:\Panzer Corps)
2. On PC nr 2 (your test PC) install Pz Corps + GME and install a mod (e.g. DMP Ostfront).
3. Copy-Paste from PC nr 2 the full modified game to PC nr 1 under a different name than on PC nr 1 (e.g. C:\PzCorpsOst).
4. Repeat the operation for other preferred mods

The game using mods can be launched without crash because it was properly installed on the PC nr 1
Then you can have the preferred mods installed on the same HDD immediately available without the need to use GME on your Main PC.
Pz Corps is present 3 times on my PC:
a) Original game
b) DMP Ostfront
c) DMP Afrika Korps

Same place is used (my documents - My games) to save saved games.

Yes you could say I can always play the mods on the PC nr 2 but I wanted to have all major mods on the same PC and ready to play at once (without using GME).

Conclusion is that with one clean install and multiple directories of Pz Corps, all exe files are working perfectly.
