In thanks.

Edit: I'm not the only one who can't link RSC and Steam yet, right?

You have to do it in-game.

Awesome, request sent.

Got a level 40 character ready to transfer for some hardcore Heisting!

I downgraded from Gigabit fibre to 5 Mbps when I moved country

Ouch, that must have sucked.

I really hope I never have to downgrade when I move somewhere.

[Portman]

Sweet, made in it the crew! Thanks Salsa! Looking forward to lots of online fun.

Beginner question here since I waited for the PC release: How does the crew and forming up into groups work? Are we able to see that the other crew members are online and they need extra players for events, heists etc or do we have to arrange games before starting them?

 

[jamie0601]

Just tripled dipped for this, I have no self control whatsoever.

On a separate note, I only have a 120GB SSD and I have Windows and stuff installed on it, so I've had to install it on my HDD until I can afford a new SSD. How easy is it going to be to transfer it from my my HDD to a new SSD? I'm fairly new to PC gaming so I've never had to go through anything like this!

You'll need 60GB free on your SSD. Assuming you have that, after it's unpacked and installed on your other HD, copy the GTA V directory with the files to your steamapps\common folder on C:, then in Steam delete the game. When you reinstall it, point it to the new folder you made on your C drive.

I can't quite remember but when you do this you have to make sure to also move a certain file that is left over on the steam folder that makes it so Steam knows you've moved it and where

otherwise first time you launch in another drive it has to load for a long-ass time since it checks the files

Wrote up an explanation in the performance thread, it's actually very simple. Couple of things

Unpack and run the game once before moving.
The corresponding appid file can either be found in the URL of the game on Steam or using SteamDB.

Grief just answered this question in the other thread, heres the details.

If you move the corresponding .acf (I'm at work right now so forgive me if I have the wrong extension) from your steamapps folder to your steamapps folder on your SSD you will avoid the integrity check.

Simply move game folder from steamapps/common to SSD, then .acf file in steamapps to your SSD, restart Steam, run game.

Good point.

The file is: appmanifest_271590.acf

which is found in the steamaaps folder.

It definitely works for other games. I moved PIllars of Eternity to a SSD with the same procedure. Steam realizes that the files are already at the destination and it verifies them rather than redownloading everything.

thanks for the reminder. I'll move it along with this later today. some of those load times got unexpectedly long

This method works like a champ. I did it for a few games when I installed my SSD.

[Deleted member 1159]

So how do I link the RS SC account to my Steam version? Is it an in-game login? I have my XBL and PSN usernames attached already.

 

[JaseC]

I've never used this method.

Yeah, it's not ideal since reinstalling means waiting for Steam to verify 60GB of data. It's better to do this instead:

Edit: Given you quoted said instructions I assume you're in the same situation as Mart (already pre-loaded but don't have the space to unpack). If, however, you have the space to unpack the game but want it on a different drive, then do this instead:

NB: Let's assume you've pre-loaded to D:\Games\Steam2 but want to move the game to E:\Steam
1) Wait until the game has decrypted
2) Move the installation folder from D:\Games\Steam2\steamapps\common to E:\Steam\steamapps\common
3) Move the appmanifest_271590.acf file from D:\Games\Steam2\steamapps to E:\Steam\steamapps
4) Restart Steam

In doing the above you won't have to fiddle around with symbolic links, and most importantly it saves a lot of time compared to reinstalling the game as you won't have to wait for Steam to verify 60GB of data.

The appmanifest file is what tells steam the game is in your library. For SSD storage management you can just go into the game specific folder then move all it's contents to a backup folder on whatever multi terabyte drive you have, when you feel like playing it just move the contents back.
