exFAT, FAT32 and steam checks

[Tomzin]

I have a relatively small SSD formatted as NTFS running windows, and steam installed under C:
I have a HD formatted as exFAT (aka FAT64) where I have more space and a steam library, lets call it D:.
When installing **some** games to D:, steam complains and says I can't install to a FAT32 formatted partition... But the thing is, I'm using exFAT, not FAT32! And there's more: If I comply and install under C:, it installs fine, and it even lets me move the game files over to D:... I mean, that's kinda weird right? I got a warning on install, why no warning on move? (the game files end up on the partition either way?) Since I never had weird results with games that got the install warning and later were moved over, I currently think steam has a check on install that mistakes exFAT for FAT32.

Just format D: with NTFS.

You don't use FAT anymore, that's more for small drives now;
for legacy purposes like an OS installer boot flash drive.

Use NTFS
