Need help finding the NON Steam Directory to Install Greater Immersion Mod.

Scydone · May 10, 2020

Would someone kindly please help me find my directory and tell me exactly where I should install a mod? I need a specific one to install the greater immersion mod that is currently in this forum area. I'm trying to download the immersion mod and install the files in the directory, but the instructions in that thread are for the STEAM directory...not us Frontier Downloader "non steam" folks directory. Need the one that has elite-dangerous-64, but ISN'T the steam directory path.

D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64 ( <----- Can't find this elite-dangerous-64 that is not the steam version. Need the Frontier Purchased directory version)

When I look on my computer I only find these two options. I find this
C:\Users\tom\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous

or this....
C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch

If that's where you installed EDLaunch then the game should be in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\products\elite-dangerous-64\".

When in doubt, search for the game executable.

Thank you for the reply. As I mentioned above, I looked and mine doesn't have that path. I get as far as....
C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch and then there is no products folder there. It just has a bunch of other names. Product isn't there!?

Search your system for "EliteDangerous64.exe".

Or, right click on the shortcut/ icon and open file location

Well, this could lead to just the launcher...and it appears that the OP has somehow installed the game and the launcher to separate locations.

OP could run the game and use the path listed in taskmanager for it.

When I right click the desktop Frontier Launcher I get

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\EDLaunch.exe" showing up in the Target box

and when I click open the file location I get

C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch

. Both seem to be not what I'm looking for.

Also, when I search my system for EliteDangerous64.exe as mentioned above (thank you!) all I get to populate is web search results. Nothing on my computer. If I installed not via steam, am I really looking for EliteDangerous64.exe and is that on my computer? Because my game launches when I click on the icon with the ED symbol in black entitled EDLAUNCH within this directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch

You may find it as above

I was able to find this under username>appdata>Local>Frontier_Developements>Products>elite-dangerous-odeyssey-64

windows+R
%localappdata%\Frontier_Developments

That should bring it up

Don't think the OP cares any more, they haven't been seen for over a year...

Speaking of which, this thread smells like some zombie dug it's way out of the ground.
