[GUIDE] How-To: Multiple copies/versions of Bannerlord

[z00t]

I do not take credit for the video, but the information provided in it is still viably sound:

TL;DW - For those who don't want to sift 9 minutes of video:

1. Locate your Bannerlord game directory, and append a suffix (old/new/alpha/beta, whatever) to the end of the folder name by renaming it
2. Do the same with the Bannerlord folder in My Documents (to preserve saves/settings)
3. You can make a copy of your current game directory to use as a base to avoid downloading the entire game again. Remove the suffixes from the copied directory so Steam uses it when patching.
4. Opt in/out (depending on what version you currently have installed) of the alpha/beta and allow steam to re-download (or patch) the game
5. When you want to play a different version of the game, simply re-apply a suffix to the current playable directories and remove the old/new suffix from the version you want to play.
6. One copy of the game should always be the default folder name to prevent Steam from downloading a 3rd/4th copy
