All files end up on the incorrect SSD device.
All files end up on the incorrect SSD device.
Set up a fresh computer with a small SSD for booting (now feels unnecessary) and a bigger SSD for storage. The problem is Windows 10 is configured to save everything to the Y drive, but some files still end up on the C drive, making it a bit of a hassle. I’m not very comfortable with computers, so this process is taking time. So far, whenever I need to move something, it often goes to the C drive instead of the intended location, especially for things like the launcher or Minecraft mods. Steam handled it once with Project Zomboid too. Any suggestions on why these programs seem to resist?
It looks like the PZ is just keeping your saved information on the C drive. Not sure if it preserves save files, since you mainly play on servers.
The C drive is typically set as the default for downloads. It’s important to pay close attention to software installers regarding the "save location," which usually requires manual selection or navigating to advanced settings to adjust. Other considerations include browser-specific options—Firefox users should visit options, then preferences, and under Files and Applications—to change their default storage. For game platforms like Steam or Epic Games, you’ll need to access each site’s settings and update your preferred save locations accordingly.
There is no 50/50, somewhere there is a configuration telling that software to save where it's saving. You just need to find that and change it. If you are telling me you uninstall Project Zomboid once and it saves to your C drive but uninstall / reinstall and it saves to a Z drive without changing anything I'd have a hard time believing you without some sort of proof lol.
I removed PZ to check if it would move to the Y drive like other steam games should. When I tried to open the game, it created a second folder with a tiny size, probably just avatars. It seemed strange that this folder didn’t form its own set within the existing PZ folders. For Twitch, I’m currently uninstalling and reinstalling it. Since I built this computer, I’ve gained some insight into how things function and might not have told it to place it where I wanted. Edit: I transferred the game folder from the C drive to the Y drive, then restarted the game and it just reused the same folder on the C drive again.
I won’t bother with the Twitch client because I rarely watch streams—I’m busy working and in school most of the time. If I need to, I can use their site instead; just install the FTB launcher for the Minecraft mods.
