    Edit - Sorry posted to wrong thread, if someone can move it, please do.

    Good morning everyone.

    Thanks to @noorbeast's endless patience and despite my endless stupidity, I have my rig moving. :cheers

    I have 4 simulations on my computer- iracing, Dirt Rally, Euro truck 2 & Project cars. ( the last three were downloaded from Steam.
    I have been able to patch iracing & Dirt rally, however when I try to patch the final 2 I am told the locations are not valid patching paths.
    I am using documents, my games (game). I can't seem to find any other directories to patch to.

    Does anyone have any ideas or experienced the same issue?

    Thanks in advance.

    Nick

    PS, my phone and computer must have had a falling out so they are not talking to each other. As soon as I fix this this I will start a build thread and put up pics of my rig.

    Both ProjectCars and ETS2 are patched to their install directories, which will be in your Steam folder.

    Hey @Nicko321 - If you are using Steam games, you should find them under the folders "Steam"- "steamapps"- "common". Unless you have created another folder somewhere where you installed the games. Either way, the "steamapps" -"common" part should be the same regardless.
    Hope that helps.
