You Must Select A Valid American Truck Simulator Path

[Billy_Mays 0]

So for the past 6 months now ive been getting the constant message in which it tells me i must select a valid path. Ive done everything they told me on my last post and it didnt do anything. Ive been wanting to play multiplayer but ive been unable to. Ive done things such as only selecting ats than trying but it says the same thing. I did it with ets2 and i got the same message just for ets2 not ats. 

Please i need help i just want to play the game always been a big fan until this all started happening. Anything helps just please help me getting my damn game working.

Hello, 

 

Before I installed Windows 10 I remember having an ATS folder in my documents. Try and find it in your documents and it should work using the path.

Have you tried going to steam, uninstalling ATS, going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator and then deleting any left over files there.  Then restart steam as admin and install ATS and see if this works.

[Guest DFGssadWGEYGTWESGasadfdy]

Yes please try deleting the folder. Or otherwise try installing in a different location (another drive if you have another one)

No, as that did not work. If you have an ATS folder in your documents then that's perfect. Try and make a path through your documents.

The solution @EnLight already gave you should solve the problem flawlessly. There is no reason for the launcher setup to not accept the current working directory path if you followed his instructions. But just to make things a little clearer, I'll add screenshots of the steps despite the fact that this information has already been delivered to you.

 

Go to your Steam Library then right-click American Truck Simulator and at the bottom of the menu that will appear, click on Properties.

 

A new window will appear. On this wind, click on the Local Files tab and then on the Browse local files... button.

 

A Windows Explorer window will appear. Click on the address bar at the top and it should automatically select the path. If not, then select it all yourself. Regardless, you must copy that address.

 

Now that you have copied that address, paste it whole in the field of the setup where it asks for the ATS path and click Next to proceed with the installation.

Hi,

 

Can you confirm with me you have followed these instructions below, in regards to ensuring you have selected the correct directory/install path upon installation of the launcher: 

 

> Go to Steam Library
> Right click ETS2 / ATS
> Properties
> Local Files
> Browse Local Files - This location is your 'install path'

i did uninstall ats like 3 months ago and reinstall it. Do i need to get rid of the old folder for that ats and try to uninstall and reinstall to maybe gain a new folder for ats?

Ok this is just taking too long and i cant seem to do this s***. Do any of you got skype in which we can contact each other? I feel as if this would make the process easier on both of us and come out with a positive outcome.

Now after i fixed it its telling me "The program cant start because steam_spi64.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
