Ugh finally !!! Ive been deaking w8th this hassle for 5 hours for destiny 2. 210 gb . Ive done this process years ago but it wasnt as big of a pain in the ass like this time. I looked up several videos but they all missed the one atep i needed. Unninstall and THEN cntrl v the data files into the freshly made game folder. 5hanks man.. validating finally.
Thanks G, I didn't know you had to uninstall the game before shutting down Steam, I thought it worked without that, maybe they changed something since the last time I did this.
Its 2024 and Steam still doesnt have "scan library for games". This approach (and the whole library approach) still works. == Restore Library == 1.) Rename this folder to Steam_Backup 2.) Create a new folder called Steam 3.) On Steam: Settings > Storage > Add Drive 4.) Select the empty folder called Steam 5.) Exit steam 6.) Cut and paste the contents of Steam_Backup to Steam 7.) Launch Steam == Restore Individual Game == 1.) Download game 2.) Stop download and uninstall 3.) Exit Steam 4.) Copy CONTENTS of the game folder you want to restore 5.) Start Steam 6.) Install game (it should show "validating")
Love you bro form my deep heart i was deepling find that i download a 35% but next day i open my pc it say starting download again thanks god that i have copied files last time and then i try to put the files it saying that download again and then i go to TH-cam and find the solution and finding the solution tool months thanks bro love you again
Welp, did exactly as described (I think), but steam deleted everything inside the folder after validating. Those were the steps I did: 1- I removed the game's folder from steamapps/common 2- Unistalled the game on steam 3- exited steam 4- put the game back in steamapps/common 5- started steam and downloading the game
this dosnt work if you dont have the .acf file for the game (wich idon't), do you know how can i set one up? dying light has been a pain in the ass lol.
Hi , I have a question.....I have played a game and already save the game data but after I close steam it ask me to install the game back and all my save data has gone......what should I do??

If your games are updated, steam should find them automatically on your hard drive, thats what happened for me. Regardless, Great tutorial!
Thanks alot!!! This method is perfect for locating installed files. Wish Steam could just implement the feature

1- I removed the game's folder from steamapps/common
