Multiple Installs?

SKurj · 11-19-05, 12:02 PM

I currently have 2 careers in progress with a current install with numerous mods applied. I would like to try RUB, but do not want to interfere with my current game.

Anyone know if multiple installs of SH3 are possible?

Generally thatÂ´s no problem, but in your case itÂ´s a bit tricky as you donÂ´t have a clean SH3 version to work with. As I donÂ´t know if you know anything about registry keys and stuff I suggest the following...

Move (copy and delete) the current installation to another directory, then install SH3/Patch 1.4b/RUb to the original path. Try it, if you donÂ´t like it delete the directory and copy back the original dir. The new installation will see your current campaigns, donÂ´t touch them, just start a new one. You can still play the original installation, go to the backup dir and start SH3.exe.
