post a screenshot of the path on the HDD, just to satisfy my morbid curiosity (only because I have BF3 working with swap.xex perfectly well!).
Are you using GOD format? (I'm sure you know why I ask...see below)

martin, I got it working, extracted both disks and dumped together and works fine. Not actualy tried BF3,

GOD format? Just curious guys.

The reason I ask is because usually the second disc is just an update/optional content so you can actually just copy the data and create a new update folder in the game id folder and drag/drop the files there. One of the perks for extracting your ISO vs. GOD format. Thats what I do so multi disc games are an easy fix.

Up until now all mine have been done in GOD format, will in future though extract multi disk titles.....definatley easier and quicker!

Can confirm that FSD's multi-disc swap works with both GoD and extracted games. The game needs to be in the database though, so just running from file manager isn't enough.

@Martin C, Reading between the lines here, I think what seanr28 did was just extract both iso's into one folder so FSD didn't need to use disk swap. I may try this as my Mass Effect swaps to the second disk ok but then precedes to crash FSD when the next save happens :facepalm:
