Help Needed with Save Game Location

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/help-needed-with-save-game-location.166497/

I have some games installed in my PC. Currently these games are installed in my system including
Portal 2; L.A. Noire; Dishonored; Darksiders 2; Age of Empire; Tropico 4; Anno 2010; Alan Wake; NFS MW; Mass Effect 3; Virtua Tennis 4; Age of Mythology; Flight Simulator X; Metro 2003; XCom Enemy Unknown; Mirror's Edge; Dirt 3; Witcher 2 and Skyrim.
By default, the save game files are saved in c:/mydocument/mygames folder in Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. But these save game files are taking too much space. I want to change the location of this save game files in other location such as in D: or in E:.
How can I do this without affecting the current progress of all these games? Please help.

Jay

Snip.

Try this and let us know.

Redirect a folder to a new location

@Gearbox i can confirm that works. I've done this couple of times for save games and to redirect steamapps folder.

Once, i've redirected "My Documents" in office to D-Drive. Not sure, for games.
However, thanks for confirming! :toast:

Usually it works fine but sometimes it might create problems. Better to extend the size of the partition IMO.
