content manager not finding directory

[BobO22!]

Hi,

Newbie here. Loaded ASM2 through Steam. Downloaded the Content Manager and it says it can't find the directory. I'm sure its a common problem but I can't find a solution in the previous threads. Could someone please point me to the solution?

Thanks.

Did you point CM towards your installation folder?

Sorry but what installation folder? I found the ASM2 folder only in the Steam folder. I tried placing the CM there, that didn't work either.

Im sorry, I confused myself. There is no need to point towards the directory.

I downloaded it, copied it to my desktop, ran the .exe within the zip file, and it just worked.

Try updating AMS2 from steam before installing CM. I remember something about bootfiles needed updating.

Yeah, I just downloaded the game yesterday and immediately downloaded the CM after so its not an update issue. I see other folks have had the problem before. I may have to reinstall AMS2. Thanks

Hello my friend.

Hope i can help with this tipp.
Open the CM folder.
There you open the "Config.yaml" file with Notepad. There is a path to AMS2, which requires that you copy the CM into the standard installation directory of AMS2. Change it so that the path leads to your installation. Save. Not "save as".
It might work.
Make a backup of all the files you edit.
Good luck
