Which Installer should I choose?
The Web Installer (Recommended) is the easiest option for those who don't yet own TS2. It requires an internet connection and automatically downloads the game files as well as dependencies & fixes you need to make the game work correctly.
The Standalone Installer is an offline option to install the game + dependencies & fixes. You'll need to pre-download the Ultimate Collection game files, such as the Standalone Starter Pack from the guide or G4tW's repack, and extract them to the game folder before running the installer.
