Now, perfectly prepared to admit this is 100% me, but feeling awfullllllly stupid. Apologies if this is really newb, and while I've found a few threads, none of them have helped.
What I'd like to do is to have XWAU 2020, update 5 and TFTC 1.2 running as two separate installs, using the Steam version.
I've nuked and re-installed the base game, copied the folder, installed XWAU 2020 and update 5 to the copied folder, that seems to have worked a treat. I've then copied the original folder again, installed XWAU 2020, update 5, and then installed TFTC 1.2 on top of all that, and when it runs... I get XWAU! Not a snifter of TFTC, at all.
I've tried this multiple times, don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but would appreciate if anyone can help with the steps, and happy to put a guide together for those in the same boat? I've no pilots/saves to worry about, as I last played this soooo long ago, but really want to play both again!

Erm that sounds like you’re making life unnecessarily difficult for yourself as you could just use the Palpatine Total converter to easily switch between the two versions while only needing a single instance of the game.
There is a tutorial on @AngeI ‘s Youtube channel on how to properly set up your TFTC game.

Ah - just tried that as per the video - comlpletely clean install of Alliance, having uninstalled and even deleted the folder, then installed from Steam. I ran it twice, vanilla, to make sure all was well there.
Then I ran the XWUA installer, no issues, but didn't install update 5 (per the video) and installed TFTC 1.2. When I run it - XWUA! It's bizarre.

You do still have to use Palpatine to switch it over to the TFTC. Just installing TFTC will not switch it to it automatically.pnag111 wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 6:09 pmAh - just tried that as per the video - comlpletely clean install of Alliance, having uninstalled and even deleted the folder, then installed from Steam.

I have 12 installations of XWA on my computer Lol
I've just seen how much space it is. I really need to sort that out!
