Game patching after format

[GM@N]

Like most people I have my games installed on a separate drive so that when i format i don't have to reinstall all my games. But i hate it when a patch doesn't allow me to search for the install location before patching and just says the game is not installed

Does anyone know the registry entry i must add to get FEAR to see the install location?

Its probably something like

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\sierra\fear]
"InstallDrive"="x:"
"InstallPath"="x:\\fear"

Cheers

On mine it's:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Monolith Productions\FEAR\1.00.0000

You want a key in there called "InstallDir" of type "REG_SZ" and give it a value of c:\fear or whereever you've installed it.

There's also a FEAR\Securom directory that has a bunch of keys with error messages in like "emulator detected" and "insert CD-ROM" or whatever, but I don't think you'll need them.
