Moving Steam Games With ( Steam Mover )

Dude, seriously, you need to stop whispering.

This work still?

Would this lower the performance of games if I used this program to move it to a ssd

What if you have a 90gb SSD and are attempting to transfer a 50gb game (DOOM) ? Steam tells me I have insufficient memory before recognizing that the game is on the SSD?

Didn't work. Fucked my whole library up. Had to redownload everything all over again anyways.

You saved me from redownloading after moving to another disk. God bless you. Thank you.

keeps crashing

turn your fucking volume up on your mic

I would like to ask a question. If I use Steam Mover to send all my games from my (C) drive to my other hard drive (E) and then reformat Windows. And then reinstall windows will I be able to move back the games from the (E) drive back to the (C) and run the games normally without issues? The reason I ask is because sometimes there are registeries stored in the computer from a given game. I don't know if the game will run fine if I move it to another hard drive and then upon reformating windows whether the game will run properly without having to redownload the game all over again from steam?

I hope this isn't New 3DS-exclusive like The Binding of Issac was.

What is the point of this if u can just copy and paste?

But can't you move the files manually in the Windows Explorer?

I have 92GB worth of mods in my arma 3 folder. If I use steam mover to move the game to another drive, will it take the mods with it too? I'm talking about the @mod folders in the steam/common directory of ARMA games.

Thanks.

I can play lord of the rings now, Still trying ot get tomb raider to work.

This also works for Origin. Just change the directory to your Origin Games folder.

Big help thx for the tips !!! 

Quick question: I may be rather silly or perhaps I wasn't listening – either way. If I use Steammover and move my games from my HDD to my SSD will I be able to run the game directly through the SSD to ensure faster boot times?

This is a lot nicer of a backup solution, compared to steams "backup and restore" option which seems like it takes forever.

If this breaks my skyrim I will cry.

Steam mover isn't just 4 steam though 🙂

This same program, Just choose your origin install directory instead of the steam one.

Is there an origin version of this? I really want bf4 on my SSD..But i really do not want origin on there too. I literally only play bf4 off Origin. 🙁

The funny thing about this, is that it's only needed for games where you have to login to some other service first to launch them. Pretty much any standalone game (folder) has always been able to be moved from one drive to another without any special program.

So do you have steam installed on your main C drive and your stored your games on D? I am very confused trying to understand your setup. Basically I have an SSD that's my C drive that also has windows on it. Should I install Steam on my D drive (regular HDD) then move games to my C to make them work faster? Thanks in advance.

Confusing tutorial.

Well done sir

Is there a way to tell steam to download games to certain place?
I have a 250 GB HDD with 200 GB for Mac and 40 GB for Windows 7 (and now got only 4 GB left), so I can't afford to download any average game on Windows and then move it.

I want to format my Mac and readjust my partition but I don't have another HDD to backup.

I wish I had heard of this program yesterday. I deleted all my games so I could download them to a new drive. Oh well, some older Valve games don't allow to me to download them in the new drive so I'll use this. Thanks for the useful tutorial.

Thanks !, be sure to check out my stream and my other YouTube content, and hit that LIKE button 🙂

awesome vid and awesome tool

I'm just being a jack ass …. yes I know that you can use them both ways.

Where did I say that?

So what your saying is that, I can't use this to move files from one HDD to another HDD and it will only work with SSD's ? OMG thats crazy!

I think you're using steam mover backwards. You can move the files to the steam folder using explorer.

SteamMover is used to move the games from the steam folder to another drive (in my case an SSD). The program creates junction points, which are more or less shortcuts, so that steam can still see the game.

Thanks Man :), tell your friends … I have a number of games I'm giving out to my SUB's (Once I reach 100)

Awesome already did everything saved me a lot of space thank you also subed looking forward to more videos

Well it depends … most games put some kind of save in the "My Documents" section of the Hard Drive that has your OS….. So I guess the answer would be, it doesn't matter 🙂

Glad to help, don't forget to SUB if you haven't already 🙂

One more thing lol what about my saves will they transfer all that over to my other hard drive

Thank you that is what I thought this was just wanted to clarify 🙂

yes that is exactly what this is made for, you just have to point it FROM (SSD location) and then TO (HDD location) — like make a game Dir on your HDD and just move your steam games there … like I show you in the video :).

I have steam on my m4 ssd(256gb) and already have 100 fb worth of games. I also have a 3 tb seagate barracuda hdd this will help me transfer the 100gb on my ssd to my hdd right? Sorry I'm new to all this

I'm glad that I could help, be sure to check out the other content …. and i'm give out a few things to all my subs, tell your friends 🙂
