C drive has it's own temp/downloads folder etc.Quote:"After March 8th update, the game is cursed: it doesn't work properly in vanilla (has texture loading issues and still stuttering and fps drops), but the update also broke Ascendio (more info on the posts tab). Just never had steam/game (not sure who to blame?) behave this way. How annoying, if it's just this game I'll just deal with it, like this morning I pulled the patched game/appid from other pc. This could greatly speed up certain parts of the process since Steam is no longer reading and writing from the same drive (linear writes to HDD can be 10 to 20x faster than random access ones). I don't want to ever deal with this issue again.Īs an added benefit of this workaround, if you have games on the slow drives, they will use the SSD for downloading and patching. I did it with the temp folder as well just in case. Note that while I know this needs to be done with the downloading folder-that's where newly downloaded games land-I'm not sure about the temp folder. Just make sure that your SSD has at least double the size of the game you're trying to patch as free space or your game patching/downloading will fail. I recommend creating a new set of folders on the SSD for each slow drive. Mklink /D temp "M:\SteamGames\steamapps\tempOnD"ĭo this for each slow drive with a Steam folder. Mklink /D downloading "M:\SteamGames\steamapps\downloadingOnD" Then delete the Steam temp and downloading folders on your slow drive.Īfter that open elevated command prompt, cd into the steamapps folder on the slow drive, and make a symlink: Here is where I put them but you can put them anywhere on the fast drive: This will be where the files are downloaded when Steam tries to write to the slow drive. I have three slow drives with Steam folders: Drives D, F and G. To do this we trick Steam into thinking the folder it's using is on the slow drive while it's actually on the fast drive. The idea is that we don't want Steam to use our slow drives for temporary downloads. I tried it just now with a game and it worked, but given that I haven't tested it extensively, proceed at your own risk.
