The batch file gets the operator to the correct directory or folder then runs the "game" exe. The batch file does not check above the directory you are in. To do that a command needs to added like CD\ path. CD means change directory. The game itself may want files on other directories above the directory the game directory however. You install the game to C:\Game and then you may find that C:\Game has other directories created like C:\Game\Sound but this is as a result of the installation. Added to that you may find that there are entries in the registry etc. Are we clear now? |

| 801917 | 2009-08-18 06:49:00 | Are we clear now? Almost, :confused: Thanks for your help in trying to clarify things . So how do identically named files in both directories work? In this case, I have 2 patch_D2 . mpq files . Does the directory check the first . mpq file and ignore the second one? |
