Original Disussion HERE!

He posted this on the Shadowverse Discussion. I just made this Copy Guide since i fear i wouldn't be able to find this specific disucssion again. I know the guide rules are you gotta have make your own guides. But this here was so useful i'd be sad if i couldn't find it again



Some people are complaining about the Shadowverse data folder now being stored in Appdata on the C: drive, here is a tutorial to move the data and create a Symlink.

This tutorial works on W7 and 8/8.1, W10 has a special command for symlinks (check google).

1. First of all, launch Shadowverse and be sure the game is up to date.

2. Close Shadowverse and navigate to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\LocalLow\Cygames

3. Cut the Shadowverse folder and paste it on another drive, for example I moved it to the Shadowverse game folder in D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Shadowverse

4. Launch cmd, navigate to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\LocalLow\Cygames with the cd command

5. Use this command to create a proper Symlink inside the Cygames folder:
mklink /j Shadowverse LocationOfShadowverseDataFolder

With my example it becomes:
mklink /j Shadowverse D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Shadowverse\Shadowverse

(don't forget to put quotation marks on the location if there are spaces in it)

There you are, the symlink is created, it looks like a shortcut but it's not, and the game will think it's the original folder.
