Doing a fresh install of everything due to troubles with the TFTC 1.3 update. I have uninstalled and then re-installed XWA from steam. Now I am attempting to install XWAU2020 Mega Patch. I keep getting the following error log: "System.IO.IOException: Cannot create a file when that file already exists." This is followed by a long string of code that I'm not able to copy. (I did a print screen to a word doc, but can't attach that to this post.)
What's going on? Is it something I need to fix?

Steam is the biggest cause of issues with XWAU.Dax wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 3:53 amDoing a fresh install of everything due to troubles with the TFTC 1.3 update.

You need to try and follow this method.
Install XWA from Steam.
Run the game once to check it works.
EXIT STEAM! - This is the biggest step to help fix.
Copy the XWA folder to a new location - C:\Games for example.
NEVER PLAY THE GAME FROM STEAM AFTER THIS
Install XWAU 2020 to that location.
Run the game once to check it works.
Play the game from the Desktop shortcut that IS NOT Steam.
Install XWAU Update 5.
Run the game once to check it works.
Install XWAU Update 5.5
Run the game once to check it works.
THEN you can try installing TFTC after that.

I think it worked! Clean install all the way through TFTC 1.3. The only hiccup was after going through them all, I wasn't able to adjust effects settings. I'd get an error about a missing part of the path that pertains to the dynamic xwing cockpit. Re-installing update 5.5 fixed this.
