The checks for the ACM.exe haven't changed since the last version. The installer expects you to pick the "Aliens Colonial Marines" folder and checks in relation to that, so picking a folder above or below that level won't work (such as the bin directory or the steam directory). Choosing the wrong directory OR not having an ACM.EXE file are the only ways this issue will show.

The V3 installer has (by default) backup settings set to 'full'. This should back up any file it attempts to replace in the relevant and most recent backup folder. You can find this in the game directory.

Afaik you don't need to delete the V2 files - they will all be overwritten with the new version but you could verify game files before you do the install 'just in case'. The game settings thing I think is to do with PecanEngine.ini being write-protected but don't quote me on that. The new version installer gives the option to remove readonly from this file.

That's pretty odd. It's been tested in Win7 and Win10. It doesn't end up crashing or offer 'details' on why its not working?

Was just having this discussion with James in PM. That file doesn't exist in a vanilla install of ACM - so you don't need to worry about that part.

I'm really looking forward to this. The original game only got 3 hours of my attention before I hated it. When you release V3 I'm going to give it another shot (this mod is the ONLY reason I reinstalled the game)
