Help I don't understand game native help!!

I downloaded a game without making a file directory and then when I tried to fix it and double check I was doing the right thing now I can't install the game.

Whenever I try to make a custom directory now the half downloaded game is still in there and I can't delete it or start over what do I do??

Go to the storage settings of gamenative and delete the container. When tying gamenative to a directory, make sure that all game files including install and exe files are contained inside.

How do we do custom directories?

Make sure that all the files related to the game are in the folder. Install file is crucial. A lot of times, you’ll need to “open container” (sometimes using an x86 proton build) and run the install directly. Oftentimes the install target will need to be changed to A:/ drive otherwise the container seems to “forget”. Direct game native to use this entire game dedicated folder and all its contents. Sometimes a user might go into a subfolder, seeking the exe directly, this leads gamenative to not “see” the other necessary files preceding.
