Program Files only admin users have full control and after they pass that UAC thingy.Įxpectations, when you install any game or program, it asks where you want to install it. The issue is security, expectations & convenience.Ī folder outside of Program Files won't use the same permissions by default, for example C: subfolders allow any user full control. I imagine this is not a problem on Linux, Mac or Steam Deck that uses Arch (awesome).įor Windows. You just have to install Steam directly to it.
You can create a C:\GAMES\ library if you want. Originally posted by rawWwRrr:Steam doesn't HAVE to be installed in its default location. I got $10 says Option B works, but you'd need a block-level filesystem. Tried Option C got the error "New Steam library folder can't be the drive root." If Option C works then Steam should allow moving your Steam Library on the C: drive.Įdit2: Good. Option C is to create a mapped drive to a folder which I haven't tested yet. Option B is to create a hard link which NTFS still doesn't support. There is a small advantage there that a higher chunk size might make it faster.
You can only create your C: library in the same directory that steam is installed, which messes up the directory structure now.Įdit: So the only way around this, if say you have one $1000 nand drive, is to create different partitions on that drive which you have to shrink/extend depending on how much you want to dedicate to Steam and then to everything else. The new update to Steam Library doesn't allow that anymore. Originally posted by Glimmer:If you have a thumb drive or some other removable drive, could temporarily create a Library folder on that, remove the initial folder on C and then add a new folder in the desired location.
