Changing where vortex "looks" for games


Gpa0654

Recommended Posts

After an ssd crash (first one I've ever had in many years) my system was running terribly and I found a clean install of my win 7 (don't give me grief on that, it does all I want and I don't want my computer acting/looking like a phone) was the only way to fix it. It renamed my other HD's during the install. I moved vortex and most of my games to my new C: drive and everything works fine. But whenever vortex starts it gives an error that it can't find "G:" drive. There is no G: it was renamed to D: or E:, where a few games still reside that I rarely play.

 

TLDR; Where can I change "where" vortex "looks" for games? I can't seem to find it or an answer for that OL.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks, Scott

Why do you have so many "Program Files (x86) directories on all of your drives?

Which one does window actually use?

You do know that when you have Steam install a new library on a different drive you can name it whatever you want right? It doesn't have to be named "Program Files (x86)

I have Steam n D:\ and C:\ the one on D:\ is called Steam, te one on F:\ is called Steam Library and neither of them have "Program Files (x86) in the file path



The problem is, is that Vortex has G:\ stored in appdata\roaming\ and is still looking for G:\

The EASY thing would be to just name that drive BACK to G:\

Program Files (x86) is the default file location where win 7 stores 64 bit programs. I had nothing to do with the name.

 

"The problem is, is that Vortex has G:\ stored in appdata\roaming\ and is still looking for G:\"

 

This is a good suggestion but I was unable to find a reference to G:\ that seemed to be directing vortex to look there after checking several locations.

Perhaps if someone can narrow down "where" to look... there are a lot of files with hex ID's I did not check.

Thanks for your help.
