Game's installation directory

[Mr. Meogii]

I just recently downloaded a patch to a game and the instructions tell me this 

Installation instructions

=========================

 

 1. Copy patch files into game installation directory.

 2. Run apply_diffs.bat

 

Now my question how do I find the games installation directory ?

I know this is dumb But I lack experience at this.

You need the original game installed and the directory where you install it in is the installation directory in which you use the patch in.

[Mr. Meogii]

Once I install the game in that specific directory it's it game installation directory ? If so then where exactly do I copy the patch files to ?

[Nosebleed]

For example

 

Imagine you install the game in C:\Program Files (a common directory for installing most software)

After the game is done installing you'll have a new folder there called "IF MY HEART HAD WINGS"

That new folder is the game's installation directory and that's the folder you'll move the patch files into.

 

I'd personally suggest you install it somewhere other than the Programs folder though because the .bat file might run into problems when running in it.

You can create a folder wherever you want to install the game and when you run the installation .exe just select that folder to install the game in and once it's done move all the patch files into it and run apply_diffs.bat

[Mr. Meogii]

Okay I fully understand Thank you so much for explaining it to me thoroughly . You have been a great help to me! 

Thanks so much again 

[Mr. Meogii]

When i've run the apply_diffs.bat when do know when its done ?

[Nosebleed]

When it tells you it's done. It usually says "Press any key to continue" when it's over. Until then just let it run.
