Ey!

Ive got this problem with steam that ive bought the DVD version of the game and already installed, but after ive activated it on steam it wants me to download another client to my system partition (WHAT?!) but im using a different ssd for the game itself. So might be a newbie question still how to get steam recognise my game folder of RAGE?

ps.: i cant use steam forums, ive registered, activated and still not able to post new topics bah

Thanks in advance!

Ok, ive found it for myself:

Move Steam folder :

Also the better way for my problem:

1. Start by closing the Steam client
2. Create the new directory structure you want use as a base on the alternate drive. e.g. "D:\SteamSpare\"
3. Now go to your SteamApps\Common folder. Probably located something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common"
4. Let's reuse the example from above and say you want to play Red Orchestra from the alternate location "D:\SteamSpare\Red Orchestra". Instead of simply copying the Red Orchestra folder, either move it to the new location or copy it and rename the original to something like 'Red Orchestra_BAK' as it's important there's no folder called 'Red Orchestra' at the original location.
5. Now start a Command Prompt as Administrator. If you don't know how to do this, this is how: Open the start menu. Go to All Programs\Accessories. Right click on 'Command Prompt' and choose 'Run as Administrator'
6. We're going to create a juction point between the old location and the new using MKLINK - using a syntax like this: "MKLINK /J [Old Location] [New Location]". So using the Red Orchestra scenario you'll have enter the following:
MKLINK /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Red Orchestra" "D:\SteamSpare\Red Orchestra"
7. Press Enter and you are done

Now i have the link for RAGE folder inside "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\" still Steam application does want me to download and install...

Install Steam first on the drive where you want to have the game installed. Then install the Steamworks game, in this case RAGE.

Seeing you already installed Steam and RAGE you need to uninstall them before doing the thing above.
