Launcher Install Location (Second Hard Drive)
Hi guys, I was doing some cleanup on my computer and moving uncessary things to a secondary drive - off of my c: drive. It's a smaller SSD, so I'm kind of limited on space. I have all my steam games installed onto a secondary hard drive, but I noticed Descent Underground still took about 10 GB on my C: drive. It looks like all of the launcher files. I was just wondering if there were any plans to be able to move this with the rest of the game files?

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Hi. I find it rather odd that you're seeing this, since I have my game installed on my D: drive and only the config/log files for the game client and launcher (which sums up to a couple hundred megs at most) reside on my C: drive. Which directories did you move from C: to D:?

All I did was install the game to my D: drive with the settings in steam. I didn't bother moving anything manually.

Okay. Can you tell me which directories constitute DU's presence on your C: drive?

Looks like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Descent Underground\launcher\resources\win-8ad385fcfd8b0665e800ee8a25c93003

That folder is 11.2 GB. I just uninstalled from Steam (delete game files) and reinstalled to be sure it wasn't something with an old version.

Oh, do you have Proving Grounds access? Steam installs don't usually use resources/win-... folders.

I have alpha/beta access. That would make sense.

Ah, yeah, that'd do it. You can safely delete that, then. Non-Production environments aren't handled by Steam, so it wouldn't know to delete them when uninstalling. Or you can move it to the corresponding folder in your D: drive if you want to keep that version.
