Hey Leute ich habe mal eine Frage.
Meine Frau möchte sich Final Fantasy XIV herunterladen und irgendwie wird direkt versucht das Spiel auf die SSD (Laufwerk C) zu packen.Dabei habe ich auf der Standardfestplatte noch 900 GB frei.
Wie kann ich den vorgesehenen Speicherort in dem Fall ändern?

Ist das ein Spiel auf Steam ?

Here is a solution that doesn't involve moving any folders/files around.
Keep in mind this is for the steam version of the game, but the same thing could still be applied to non-steam if it would be necessary. It should also be update proof.

First off, open up the command prompt (cmd) as an administrator. (powershell won't work)

Go to your documents folder and enter the My Games folder. If it exists, rename FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn to something else, or preferably, just delete it.

Assuming the drive you have your FFXIV launcher installed to is your D:\ drive.
if it is another letter than adjust the command. Here is the command to run inside of the prompt. Don't forget to change the username from john, to match your own from windows. It is a single command below. do not change/edit the /D part of the command. only change D:\ to whatever your drive letter is.

mklink /D "C:\Users\john\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn" "D:\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn"

  • note the entire command is on 1 line. steam is putting it on 2 lines here. Just ignore that and enter it all in one go. make sure the two paths that are quoted, are spaced apart. If in doubt, just copy the command to your notepad, and modify it there first.
    ^ Make sure you got the spacing, and everything properly, else the command wont work. What this will basically do is create a symbolic link, a special kind of folder, that will act as kind of like a shortcut, to the real path.

Once you've done this, and it says symbolic link got created. You are done. Now you can proceed to install the game, and not eat up your C:\ drive. And once it's done installing, the entire game should actually sit in the proper steam library directory where the launcher itself is.
