Can't Move Games Between Library Folders Anymore?

[InaneDragon]

I recently upgraded one of my hard drives to an SSD, with more space. As a result of this, I've wanted to move some games over to the new drive to take advantage of its better performance.

However, this feature appears to be missing in the new GUI. Am I overlooking something obvious? Or has a critically valuable feature been arbitrarily removed?

Steam Settings > Downloads > Content Libraries > Steam Library Folders- add the new library location to the list.

This advice assumes I don't already have the library set up.

However, I have multiple games installed to that library location. I wish to move a game which is installed to one library folder to another library folder.

This used to be as trivial as right clicking the game, selecting properties > Local Files > Installation Location (or words to that effect). This command path is no longer existent. That's the problem.

Does the game you're trying to move use a launcher? That's been known to cause problems.

You can try manually moving the game's folder (and the appropriate AppManifest file) to the desired folder.

Looks like that's the issue.

I checked a couple of other games and they all have a "Move Install Folder" option in their "Manage Local Files" section. While some of those have launchers, this is the only one with a launcher that handles updates outside of Steam's normal system.

So, it's looking like a problem specific to the game (Warframe, for those this topic might help).
