So I decide to install this game, because I loved MW1 years ago.

Now.. my C drive is tiny. Stupidly tiny. So i install games onto my H drive. Installs onto H just fine.

It asks me if I want to set a temp patcher folder. Knowing that my C drive does not have over a gig free on it, I set custom and select H:\mwo for the temp folder. the patcher accepts it, goes to load...

click on 'patch'....

"The drive containing your temp folder doesn't have enough disk space for the download. Please restart the patcher and specify a new location for your temp folder, or free up space on your C:\ drive"

Now.. my H: drive, which is the one I told the patcher to use, not C:, has 727gb free. So clearly it's ignoring whatever place I tell it to use as a temp folder and defaulting to C anyway.

A bit of additional information found out.

If you tell the MWO patcher to 'create folder' and use that folder you created, it gives that error. I decided to go about making the folder ahead of time, and telling MWO to use that, and it works.

Going through after I tell the MWO patcher to make the folder, I looked on the drive for the folder... the folder is never made. My guess is that since it can't find the folder I told it to make, it defaults to C:\ drive, which doesn't have enough space. Which is why if you use an existing folder, it works.
