For this guide, we'll be starting from scratch and start with installing the game.Note that (sub)folders may need to be added to this structure later on in this guide. In the tutorial, the following basic structure will be referred to (the paths need to be adjusted to your specific folder structure accordingly): Here is how to check, if you're unsure : It is therefore recommended to store the whole folder structure on a drive formatted with NTFS (most drives run with NTFS nowadays).
