Lumituisku Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Today I had third time I have witnessed a new person who has installed Steelbeast to run to a problem where his maps where he chose a custom location for maps to be installed and didn't know nor realise that Steelbeast would install maps on that location without making a folder first. Games and simulations take lot of space these days. And all the other things I suppose. Hence I have noticed that many people choose to install maps on different location. And amongs the bunch there are those who are less skilled with PC stuff, or just don't realise to make separate folders just in case. I think this is really important and hopefully relatively small change. Because were losing customers / players because of this. Not a whole lot, but I do think every customer / player counts. ~ Lumi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted May 8, 2022 Members Share Posted May 8, 2022 I'm not sure of I really understand your point. They chose, say, drive "D:" and then each map package ended in the "D:\" root directory? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted May 8, 2022 Members Share Posted May 8, 2022 Or did they set the path to, say, "D:\maps" without ..\maps actually existing, it doesn't get created, and then what happened? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Retro Posted May 11, 2022 Members Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hm I guess we could add a confirmation dialogue that shows the user where the maps would be placed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that is sufficient because not all people have sufficient language or PC language understanding. Problem is that these guys assumed that upon selecting location a folder for Maps would be created to destination location. Instead of maps contend being installed to this location. Once it caused horrible mess when a person wanted to keep everything in same place and wanted to install "maps" to folder that installer did for Steelbeast. What happened installer installed Maps content amongs folder where Steelbeast content was installed. I believe even that could have worked out if first there would been created folder "Maps" and then installed map content to that folder. Hence I advocate that these installers would create folder for files to be installed in. Instead of installing content to that selected location. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumituisku Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Right now I am still trying to tackle a case where new guy, very interested of Steelbeast is trying to get maps to install to D drive. But according to him it stubbornly want's to install those to C drive. It is very hard to sometimes understand what is going on, to help out these guys, and not everyone is willing to share their screen that I could understand what is the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
