Having two instances of ETS2 in a single computer

#1 Post by dsf.fernando » 26 Nov 2021 09:36

It is possible to have two instances of ETS2 in the same computer, for example, one to play the current version and the other to play the open betas? If this is legally possible, how can it be done within the Steam profile?

You can use steam shortcuts with the -homedir "<location>" start up parameter to do that. It'll create another copy of ETS2's my documents folder wherever you specify it.

Yeah different homedirs and change the version before you start the game
