Cannot find savegame after -homedir change

[Blue Screen of Death]

Hi all,

I recently built a new PC with 2 SSDs, and I wanted to get back into TMP. However, the profile which I already had on singleplayer on my D: drive is not showing up in TMP, I think because TMP only looks on the C: drive. I installed ETS2 and ATS on drive D:. if I go onto C:/Documents, I see the ETS2MP and ATSMP folders, but my profiles are on D:/documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2.

So TMP cannot find the profile, and I do not have storage to put the profiles on the C: drive (I can't make more space either).

Is there any way I can get TMP to use my D: drive to find the profiles? They are not on the Steam cloud but on the D: drive!

Thanks in advance,

ThaPT

Hello, Maybe this step help you.

• First, Make a backup of the profile.
• Make a folder on the external drive at the highest level and call it “profile”(can use any name).
• Run Windows command prompt as administrator.
• A black box with a flashing cursor will open.
• Run the step following:

mklink /d C:\Users\yourUserID\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\temp D:\Profiles\

 

This, Will create a folder named 'temp' inside your regular Documents folder that points to D:\Profiles\.

Copy your external drive profiles from the regular folder to D:\Profiles\.

Test if the symbolic link is working by accessing: C:\Users\yourUserID\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2*temp*.

Now, Rename or delete your original profiles folder. (C:\Users\yourUserID\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\Profiles)

Rename the temp folder as profiles: "\temp" to --> \Profiles.

Now your profiles folder inside C:\Users\yourUserID\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles should point to D:\Profiles\ where the actual profile files are.

 

 

For example:

 

I hope your problem solve :=)
