Moved steam to new hdd

[DriftingJoint 0]

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.

All that did is break my game totally. Thanks.

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.
