Patching RFactor2 to SimTools

[Cattant]

Hi!
I cannot patch RFactor2 to SIMTools/Game manager. Here is how my gamer is set (note that into the folder Bin64, there is a folder named "plugging"):

When I try to patch the game, I'm asked to indicate the game directory location, therefore I clic on the folder RFactor 2. After that I have a message telling that the patching failed:

If I try to clic on any other folder, I also get an error message:

Therefore, the folder "Rfactor 2" seems to be the right one but obviously it does not contain the right file(s).

Any idea why the game does not patch correctly?

Thank you

Regards

*-shouldn't Steam do this? I'm asking cuz I haven't 'patched' anything in ages...curious.

I got the answer from the steam Forum as it is a generic issue. In the game folder you have amongst others two folders named "Bin" and "Bin64", this later containing a folder entitled "Plugin". To patch the game you have to create a third bin folder named "Bin32" and copy the "pluging" folder into it. Then you can patch the game by selection "rFactor2" in the window opened by Game manager when you clic on "patch the game". Why make it simple when you can make it complicated?

It's a third party manager for motion plug-ins.
