The Isle Manager

The Isle Manager is an application designed to manage the game settings and paths for two different versions of a game called "The Isle". The two versions of the game are the deprecated Legacy version and the new Evrima version.

The application ensures that the correct version of the game is launched when the user selects a specific version. This is done by swapping the files per version of the game. The reason for swapping the files per version of the game is to avoid game-related bugs that may occur when switching from the Legacy version to the Evrima version of the game and vice versa.

Prerequisite Setup

To install both versions of the game, follow these steps:

1. Install the Legacy version of the game through Steam.
2. Once the Legacy version is installed, navigate to the game folder. By default, the game folder is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Isle.
3. Rename the TheIsle folder to TheIsle-Legacy.
4. Create a steam_appid.txt file in the TheIsle-Legacy\\Binaries\\Win64\\ directory with the Steam game ID. The Steam game ID for The Isle is 376210.
5. Install the Evrima version of the game through Steam.
