STEAM REDOWNLOADING THE ENTITE GAME FILES EVEN AFTER DISCOVERING THEM SOLVED
HELLO YOUTUBE
STEAM RE DOWNLOADING THE ENTIRE GAME FILES EVEN AFTER DISCOVERING THEM (SOLVED)
THIS IS A 2 TIME REPETITIVE PROCESS....
This is a common problem faced while Using STEAM, I have found a fix for it....
STEPS:
1. First place the game files in a separate folder on the desktop... And EXIT STEAM...
2. Next go to C: Program Files: STEAM--STEAM APPS -- COMMON and paste the game folder there.... (Or Paste them where you put all your game files)
My Steam Directory is G: STEAM APPS--STEAM LIBRARY -- common
I have SNIPER ELITE 3 game folder that my friend downloaded and I recently purchased it...
3. NEXT Launch Steam
4. Select the game to be installed: here SNIPER ELITE 3
5. (VERY IMPORTANT) Select the same directory where you have pasted the game files as the directory for the game to be installed....
6. Wait for STEAM to Discover Files and Allocate Disk Space...
7. BUT STEAM STARTS REDOWNLOADING THE ENTIRE GAME...... (PAY ATTENTION)
8. PAUSE THE GAME DOWNLOAD... (Here Sniper Elite-3).... Don't EXIT STEAM.....
9. Go the Steam Directory where you have pasted the Game Files (G--STEAM LIBRARY --COMMON) and "cut" the game folder (SNIPER ELITE-3 folder) and paste them back to Desktop Folder...
10. NEXT go to Steam App and Click ON "LIBRARY"
11. Next Right Click on the Game and Select "DELETE LOCAL CONCENT" and accept the Conformation....
12. EXIT STEAM AGAIN...
13. Again paste the Game Files in the same STEAM Directory as Before (G: STEAM LIBRARY -- common)
14. Launch STEAM again and select the Game (SNIPER ELITE-3) and Click INSTALL. Remember to select the same game directory to install the game where the game Files have been pasted) G: STEAM LIBRARY -- common
15. STEAM Discovers the Existing Files and Allocates the Disk Space.....BUT THIS TIME IT DOESN'T RE-DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE GAME and A MESSAGE POPS UP SAYING THAT THE GAME HAS FINISHED DOWNLOADING....
THANK YOU
