Ankh Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I haven't had my PC for long. My operating system is installed on a not very big solid state drive (C:) so I would like to install Anniversary, Legend and Underworld on my harddrive (D:). I haven't managed to do this successfully yet so I'm guessing I'm not doing it right . I can't get TRA or TRU to run at all, Legend will run but I can't save. I'm guessing it's because I'm trying to install somewhere other than the default location but I don't know what's wrong. I'm hoping sombody here knows how to do this. Not sure if I've posted this in the right place BTW. EDIT: It looks like TRL and TRU will both run but I can't save because they cannot create an autosave, TRA won't work at all. Cheers.

Tom@LCO Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I don't think you can anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankh Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks for your answer, I was wondering why this isn't possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I remember doing it on the older games but since games are now controlled by steam I assume things need to be in their proper place. Perhaps you should clone your drive to a larger one just for games and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankh Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I had to google cloning lol I wouldn't be happy doing it myself but I know someone who could so it's a thought. As you say, the old games don't have a problem with being installed elsewhere so far anyway. I have Legend, Anniversary and Underworld on disc rather than steam but it looks like that doesn't make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Then I'd suggest uninstalling games you are finished with and just install the ones you are playing. You can backup your save directories and re-install them later if you want to play them again. Since space is at a premium dump what you can externally to make space for a game or two.

Ankh Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thanks I've already done this though eventually I think cloning would be the best bet until I can stump up the money for a bigger ssd. I think computers are like cars you never stop paying for them lol Thanks again for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankh Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Update: Not sure how exactly but...Underworld and Legend are working! I used the Legend SCU a few times and at some point tried making some saves, then after I'd reset everything I discovered a Legend folder complete with the saves had been created in my documents on C: even though the game is installed on D: So I tried installing Underworld on D: and the Eidos folder was created in my documents too. I still don't know why it wouldn't work this way in the first place, and I'm not sure why it works now, but I think it must have something to do with the SCU.

Tom@LCO Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 So things were askew until you put in the SCU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankh Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Lol! Pity I don't know what caused it, it could've helped someone with a similar set up. And me the next time I want to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
