Moved steam to new hdd

Recommended Posts

As title says, I moved my steam to a new 1tb hdd as my other was getting full. Now when I try to run combined ops to get on Dayz, I'm getting world chernarus missing. I can't figure out which files to edit my new steam/arma 2 path into. I tried the few cmd ones but no luck.

Might be easiest to reinstall DayZ. Only takes a minute. Make sure it finds your new steam directory.

Done it, still loads up with missing files.

When you say you moved steam to a new HDD how did you go about doing that ?

Copy steam folder, go to new hard drive, paste steam folder. Every single other of my 50+ games work perfectly on first run. Dayz doesn't.

As far as I know that's a bad way to do it because of registry settings.

I cant really suggest anything to fix / revert what you have done.

But I can tell you how I did what you have tried.

I left steam on its original installed drive but used a tool called steam mover to move the games onto a new drive.

this is the file I used :- http://www.traynier.com/software/steammover/

hope something here helps you m8.

Fixed my problem on my own, thanks for the suggestions. If anyone gets a similar issue later in life, message me.
