See https://github.com/rootCBR/DisruptManager/issues/23#issuecomment-2585329454.

Verify that you set everything up correctly. If that doesn't help, there might be a bug.

[rootCBR]

I've released an update that should fix the problem.

https://github.com/rootCBR/DisruptManager/releases

Let me know if it works.

You’re trying to install mods for Watch Dogs Legion, but the game directory was configured under the wrong profile (e.g., the Watch Dogs profile instead of the Watch Dogs Legion profile).

Because of that, DisruptManager ends up using the wrong file expectations for the selected folder and throws:

FileNotFoundException: ...\data_win64\patch1.fat

This is misleading, because Watch Dogs Legion normally uses:

• patch.fat / patch.dat
• plus language packs like patch_brazilian.*, patch_english.*, etc.

While patch1.fat/dat is typical of Watch Dogs 2 (and may also appear in older/other profile logic). So the folder is usually fine — the issue is that the folder is being handled by the wrong game profile.

Fix (user-side)

1. Open Profiles.
2. Click/select “Watch Dogs Legion” (not Watch Dogs / Watch Dogs 2).
3. Set the Game Directory for Legion there.
4. Also make sure the Watch Dogs Legion checkbox is enabled, so it appears in the dropdown list while DisruptManager is open.
5. Retry the install.

Suggestion (developer-side)

It would help a lot if the tool could warn the user when the selected directory doesn’t match the active profile, instead of failing later with a missing-file exception (which looks like a broken install). This would prevent a very common user mistake and reduce confusion/support requests.
