How to move 7DTD to a different drive?

[EzunaAranna]

Wondering if moving it to another drive (SSD) will improve performance.

 

Could someone tell me if there's something I can do in Steam to do this without wrecking my save game?

 

Thanks

Create a folder in the new location where you’ll store your games. If you’re on Steam, you’ll need to do it through Steam. Head to Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders and click “Add Library Folder”.

Navigate to your new Steam library folder and create a new folder within it called steamapps. Then, create a folder in steamapps called common.

Head to your current Steam folder and find the folder for the game you want to move. You’ll likely find it in steamapps/common. Copy the game’s folder, e.g. “Borderlands 2”, to the new steamapps/common folder you created in step 2.

Open Steam, right-click on the game you’re moving, and select “Delete Local Content”. This will uninstall the game from its original location.

When that’s done, click the Install button to re-install the game. In the “Choose location” dropdown, choose the Steam folder on your new hard drive.

Instead of re-downloading the game (which could take hours), Steam will detect the existing files there and make any necessary minor changes. When it’s done, you should be able to play the game as usual.

Save game is not stored in the game folder, so move as you see fit.

Doesn't make that much of a difference.

 

I've done it.

 

This game is really Memory intensive.

If you want a performance boost, that's where you'll see it the most.

 

That's not to say using a SSD isn't faster. It's always faster.

I've you've got the room, go for it.

Depends on how slow the HDD is. If it's a 7200RPM drive made in the past 5-8 years, you aren't likely to see a whole lot of difference there.

 

I know i have a chart here somewhere on this...
