[Guide] How to set up -homedir and other startup parameters

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

@TINO the exe is on a different hard drive, but I followed the instructions

edit: It worked, I had specified the steam.exe in the wrong path, thank you very much

Why not simply use "Launch Options" as it is in Steam with the Game ?

Code: Select all

Was that tutorial from a time where you couldnt use that yet ?
I might get easily frustrated and say something wrong on occasion, but I never really mean it. Please do what I often cant, dont take it too personal. And please forgive me. Thanks guys. :)

This guide is a bit out of date. Because you can put the launch parameters directly into the game's properties box in Steam. No need to create a shortcut.
