yes it is and I've had several people walk me thru it and it just doesn't work or neither they nor I could figure out what the problem was. I've been to the pages with all the instructions. I know how to follow instructions and have been working with computers for over 30 years. I've been a few, designed some websites before you could just click on a few things and be done. And I started with DOS so I'm not a babe in the woods. I just want to move my game, really just one game to a specific location and it just won't let me.
yes, so are you telling me I can't install different games in different locations but I can on diff drives? So here's why this has come up. A specific very large and well done mod that I have played before says I should have the game loaded somewhere besides the same directory as Steam and not in the Px86 folder. so I was moving it for that specific reason and that's when i encountered all this. I don't want the game on my other drive because it's not SSD. People in this community and on the support page say nothing about not being able to do it because there's another steam library on the drive. That is not mentioned anywhere.
If that's true then my only option would be to move my steam to the the other drive and place all my game back on the ssd. Although people I explained exactly what I was doing said there should be no problem and they had no problem doing it on their PCs.
So any other info you might have would be helpful.
I have no idea what a symbolic link is and I have never even heard the term come up in any nexus posts or instruction. I've never even seen a modder mention it. Gopher sure never mentioned it in his vortex tutorial. Of course a lot has changed in Vortex since he did that vid.
If you havent figured it out yet wolf i can try and help sometime like in person (at least over discord i mean). Im big adhd and smooth-brained RN but i did some freelance IT/tech repair and think i might know of 3 different potential fixes/solutions.
If tomorrow(the 6th Pst) late evening or evening works for you thatd probably be when im on if my insomnia doesnt get to me :P
One of the methods involves using steammover, this nice piece of software i love that i used to use all the time, itll basically forcefully move games from one library/drive to another.
Pretty sure ur always gonna be stuck with 1 library per drive issue.
Basically if steam knows where a library is and that has what u want on it, steam mover can grab it and chuck it to another library.
Alternatively, if that doesnt work wed probably manually move ur nonfunctional library off the drive and do a library scan/repair option it hink we have. Then can use steam mover or just steam itself to manage stuff.
Im figuring either way well still need to get steam to recognize the library again. But worst case you could likely move over the individual game installs manually. You then just need this one file essentially that u could copy from a new library potentially.
IIIRC that file just syncs up the steamapp IDs with the steam client so it knows what to actually look for in the library.
Anyways if u need me feel free to DM me on discord if u see me, my usernames sparktite, it used to be Sparktiter#5131 before i think...
Partly I was just infuriated that something so simple as moving a game from directory to directory or telling steam where you wanted to install something was so difficult. Every instruction I got from steam was very direct, simple and to the point. There was no mention of restrictions or that you could only have one steam library on a drive. It actually tells you HOW to make a new directory.
There was really no way I was messing it up. Steam just won't do it. If anyone has made a new directory on there hard drive and moved a single game into it while still having their other games in the other steam library on the same drive and has done it within a month or two from this posting I'd like to hear from them. I think one of the issues is I already have a steam library on both drives so it won't let me make another one or change it. I'd probably have to move all my games to the HDD, delete the first Steam library on the SSD and then make a new one and then move what games I wanted to back to the SSD into my new chosen steam library there.
If Steam had just put a simple notification that you can't have two steam libraries on the same drive, it would have saved me a lot of time and grief. I'm assuming they don't want to advertise how much control they have over your PC.
I'm still peeved you have to accept updates. If I don't want to update a game I "own", I shouldn't be forced into it. It's like they sneak into your home and mess with your PC without your permission. 20 or 30 years ago people would have thrown a fit about that but everyone's been groomed into ignoring that now.
Again thanks a lot, really. If I ever try to pursue it again. I'll let you know. I was considering upgrading to a new PC so when that happens I'll be more aware when I install steam on it.
Yeah best of luck yo. If ur desperate you can always create a new partition on your drive temporarily and then windows will think you have a new 'drive' or at least volume with which it can put a library on. If that helps in any way.
You kinda got unlucky with timing i think. Steam used to do their library system a lot more confusingly and even more restricted or at least harder to assign libraries and tell steam where or what are libraries.
Still ive never heard of having more than 1 library on a given drive/volume/partition as i havent seen a specific use case where youd even need that.
I think steam probably wouldnt even understand why someone would need that and likely claim its too much work/too niche to invest time/money into sadly.
Would be great if we actually owned our games and had DRM free access to the things we buy. Sadly its too much work and trouble when you have no other options.
If every gamer just "NO" I'm not buying it unless I own it free and clear plus stop preordering games this nonsense would come to a halt so fast it would make your head spin. Buggy games would disappear, bad behavior by game companies would vanish. You'd never see a game released again with out a ton of gameplay released. The powerwe would weild as a united gamer front would be just unstoppable. But we won't. we're all addicted to the hype now.
it's really sad because I remember when companies were afraid to release a broken game or not give out review copies.
