Re: mod launcher/ patch questions
One of the subject matter experts will have to answer that. I am pretty computer savvy, but never mess with mod launcher much. I have seperate icons on the desktop for all my mods, and thank God all the series/leagues I run all use the same patch. LOL Sorry I couldn't be of assistance.

This is taken from the read me file in mod launcher 2.
PATCH SWAPPER:
==============
I'd say this one is universal because you can add new patches and remove the old ones yourself! Here's an instruction on how to use it:
By default, there are no patches to swap, I didn't include them in the Installer because of the size of the download, besides, I don't know which ones you need and which ones you don't, so you will have to add them yourself, it's not difficult at all. First off, the most important thing you must do is create a folder named 'Patches' in the folder where you have MOD Launcher 2 installed!! Then, install a patch you want to be shown in the Patch Swapper as you normally do. Go to your NASCAR Heat directory (default path is: C Program Files\Hasbro Interactive\NASCAR Heat) and find there a file named 'patch.bin' - this file is the patch you've just installed, and of course you know the version of the patch you've just installed, right-click on this file and choose 'copy'. Now, go to the directory where yo have MOD Launcher 2 installed and open the directory which you had created before (Patches). Make another folder here and choose any name for this folder you like - the name you will give to this folder will be assigned to this patch in the Patch Swapper, e.g. if you created a folder 'MGI Patch v1.72e' then it will have exactly the same name in the Patch Swapper built in the MOD Launcher 2. And then put the 'patch.bin' file from the NASCAR Heat folder into the one you've just created by right-clicking on white background and choosing 'paste'. From this point, the MOD Launcher will find this patch automatically. Then, install another patch, and do the same procedure for all the patches you want to be shown in the Patch Swapper. MOD Launcher will find all your patches. If you don't wish to have any of the patches to swap anymore, then just delete the folder with that patch. Easy as that.
Next season we will be going to the 1.80 patch, so you won't have to worry about it after this season ends.
