[@tmifb9926]

Quite scummy not writing "SPONSOR" instead just writing "SPON" in attempt to dupe some people who wouldn't know what that means..

[@s.a4034]

Pls tell me what should i do if copy 100g game file but not acf one ? And now its all gone can i do it with just game file ?

[@Bleaugh]

Thanks so much for this! For years I have used Steam Backups for extra large games and the backup process usually takes 35-40 minutes - your method only takes 5 mins - so good!

[@SrSilverstars]

Still works in 2023 Feeling beyond stupid for not being able to figure this out by myself... Subscribed in compensation... Thank you sir

[@sayzito4657]

Life saver, even after 4 years this still works. Thx a lot i can play games on my new pc without downloading anything

[@leighmacho5167]

Thank you so much! perfect tutorials for newbs like me :)

thats why we love this guy for his guided video

[@sashimj2918]

I'm about to buy a game, is it possible for me to transfer the game I buy to another guy's pc, he also buys the same, but doesn't have WiFi to download it. .....plz help

[@xen_is_on]

@@sashimj2918 yes this is possible, you have to have either an external hard drive or a usb to transfer it to your pc. I recommend you to look up how to transfer steam games (if that's what you are getting it from)

[@sashimj2918]

@@xen_is_on thanks, yeah I'm gonna buy on steam, it's a paid version that's why I had a doubt

[@valhallaoutcast]

great info, so if I wanted to move a entire library from one drive to another same process just move all the game folders and manifest files to the new drive

[@inputignhere]

Your scenario is exactly the scenario I am in since I had to reset my pc lol

[@xpecimen5081]

Me too man

DUDE thank you so much, I have horrible internet at home, so while I was out at a hotel I downl0oaded warzone onto a laptop and I've finally gotten it onto my Desktop. THANK YOU for this video.

Thx so much man, This will help me as I wanna have my Among Us, FNAF World and Undertale Data when I get a Gaming PC For Christmas!

thanks man the only guy that didn't do the smae thing as the other 20000 youtubers. I wont forget thsi video

[@MAhmed-x5e]

This method is broken ,10000 times working. Thank you, man your life saver

[@serianaa]

Thanks, my man. I tried this on a game on my hard drive that hasn't been updated for a very long time, and it worked perfectly. I did this because I don't want to update my game on an HDD because it will take too long. So this method is a great way to transfer games without the need to update them.

[@ordinan]

thank you, i dont want to wait a many days to redownload all of my games with my slow internet on my new pc and this method will help me a lot

[@Malvenido]

Ty very much! You've explained everything very briefly and perfectly. To make things better, even your voice is amazing haha. Keep up the good work and thanks again!

[@henrymalong4542]

i know this was uploaded years ago, but thank you! This worked for me just a few minutes ago!!!

[@nucklez]

This still works in almost 2021. The trick was the .acf file. I went through several written instructions on how to copy this and Steam kept deleting the game and starting over. Copying the proper .acf file from the SteamApps folder as well as copying the game from the Common folder works! Thank you so much!

[@robertdellamar5386]

I believe I"m having this problem with the ACF file name. I cant copy without the file changing to a TXT file. doing so the file no longer works as an ACF file. Anybody have an idea what I may be doing wrong? to me it should be just copy paste. it always pastes as a TXT file though.

[@boypandhesal6027]

Thank you! It works well. I appreciate this video so much! Much love from the Philippines

[@bobbymoss6160]

This will come in very handy when I build my new system. I have all my steam games on a separate m.2 from my boot m.2, so this method will be easy to do.

[@FreeAdvice4All]

This tutorial was EASY and a serious time saver. Thank you Sir. You're a gentlemen and a scholar.

best method , thanks bro looking for this long time, easiest and works

[@ChristopherPunton]

Thank you, I have been trying to figure this out for ages!!

[@nico3383]

Thank you so much from France mate ! it is the only way which worked for me. Thanks to you, hours of gaming retrieved. Best.

[@markpeterlaman9380]

This works great. Glad I didn't formatted the partition where my games were saved. Thanks a lot!

[@BigRheno]

You don’t even need the game’s acf file. You can just copy the name onto a copy of any random acf file and it will work, though you’ll have to verify your game. Works great if you forget to grab it

[@areallemone]

ty, i spent 2 hours searching for a solution and yours worked. you earned yourself a like and a sub.

[@jacobsyoutube4850]

Works for PUBG free to transfer to another PC. Thanks for this, saved hours of download.

[@ottoevans7214]

The acf files saved me so much time. A couple kbs worth of data can save me a couple days worth of steam verification.

[@gummy8847]

Thanks so much! My WiFi at home sucks and my friend had the game I bought but didn't download so I just copied it and did what you did which helped alott

[@ba.abdullah]

2024 still working fine , thank you so much

[@soccerguy2433]

and now its the 3rd video i've watched from you tonight.

[@MrBeams707]

Thanks, this worked great. I was able to get back into cyber punk without re down loading it again, using a fresh install of windows 10.

[@vayneshuzino3903]

took 3 days to find the solution. thank you so much

[@bredenorsol]

I love you so much!!! had to move gtav from a flash dirve and couldnt find any good tutorials. great video man! underrated.

[@serrafon354]

Excellent method to reinstall games. You help me a lot man thanks.

[@watchinlive]

still works in 2024. God bless u brother.

[@Cypher_Genesis]

Really? I did exactly what he said and steam started to download the entire game again on the new computer. was there something you did in addition to whats in the video or did you just follow it exactly?

[@subject_of_ymir]

​@@Cypher_Genesis I guess.... Click Download and pause immediately which will create a new folder of your game in steamlibrary. And now copy - paste your already downloaded files into that new folder. Steam will start validating your files after that. That might work for you. Although, in my case , after validating process the games started downloading again after 70%. Maybe my saved files were incomplete.

[@Cypher_Genesis]

@ I redid this method and it worked I think I pasted that special file in the wrong path

[@suvangoda7773]

Quick Question: Will all the game data and stuff also transfer? Like will high scores, gear, etc. transfer, or will it feel like a fresh new copy of the game?

[@mr_beunhaez9123]

That's my question too

[@BonesyVAL]

Steam usually saves your progress doesn't it . The items you purchase and earn should be attached to your steam account not your game itself

[@yourcomrades223]

if you copy it and log in to the same account then your progress will be saved but if you login on a different account then your progress will not be saved and will be different

[@FlaShbacksRevenge]

acf worked, i cant believe it. Thanks!

[@heliosgfx6664]

can you please help me, i have moved black myth wukong from D to C drive I already have 152 free disk space on C but when I open the steam it said I cant download the game because it's need 128 pr-allocating space so I don't have that space and I cant redownload whole game again my internet so bad please help me how to re install it again without pr-allocating space??

[@katsumitsuchikido4849]

Thank you you save my life. I just dodged a potential long redownload!

[@wobbers99]

Thank goodness a video that speeds through the file structure picking. Thumbs up!

[@sirius2643]

Someone please give this man a cold beer!

[@SPOON.888]

Or you could just copy your previous "steamapps" folder and replace the existing one on the other device or after re installing steam??

[@justasingledoor5178]

Is this a statement or a question lol

[@John-stellar]

worked perfectly, thanks man.

[@mukeshwarj3312]

does it work for paid games in steam

[@ALADEABRAHAM]

Thanks man, just earned a subscriber Thanks and straight to the point

[@saviopampanolickal2798]

bro i have a doubt ?? My doubt is that if i have a game in my steam account is it possible to send my game to my friend account

[@Srout302]

Thanks. Saved me 57 gb of downloading 😌

[@magnuserror9305]

I did this with the steam deck. I brought my games from my pc to my steam deck via external drive. The only difference is that after you do all that you did, you have to find the games main exe and add it to steam, than run it, it will than begin authentication.

[@aliabdulsalam7803]

[@bomb_kaboom]

There is no acf file in steam apps

Had to download the acf file, since I didn't had one for that game but thank you so much bro👍

[@arturocordova5670]

how did you download it?

[@intrance96]

Thank you so much, this will save me days or even weeks of downloads :)

[@shaungraves8357]

***IMPORTANT*** remember to actually exit steam via the popup menu, not just x out of the tab. Took me ages to figure this out lol.

[@questionmark8647]

Lol same 😂.

[@mimiko8577]

yikes

[@macronomicus]

Still works 2023, the migration process is a bit weird in the steam interface, they dont make it clear this is possible in this way, moving to a new pc without needing any downloads is too useful. Cheers!

[@redbowtie7060]

Amazing video just what i needed thank you. I was wondering why i couldn't just copy and paste game files it was that damn acf file I was missing!

[@kirknspock2733]

thank you, much faster than the backup option.

[@hussammuhammad6777]

Well, this really helped, this really saved my time, thanks man ❤

[@igorR061]

Steam backup tool is really useless, I got an older backup and trying to restore it, end up downloading 25%, OK it´s updates, but after that I got corrupted files messages and it want to download 100% again. Now I´m copying as you said and it´s workin, easier, faster and more reliable way. Thanks

[@Crimsomreaf5555]

what if i just copy the whole steam folder?

[@wl02123417]

thanks so much! didnt know the acf file matters! none of the tutorials that i have found included this part!

[@cryptomusicgamers75]

Still works...... Thank you

[@djawedcherifi1429]

So does the second computer's Steam automatically configures its paths with the moved game? Another question: Does Steam download and install games all on his own? and doesn't it leave any iso or other format for manual installing? I'd like to get an answer as I don't think I might get them elsewhere, please

[@djawedcherifi1429]

Thanks, your video is really helpful btw

[@fakrulrazi3137]

this method is for same account or different one sir ?

[@peacegaming5491]

Can we do the same with online games??? Such as sea of theirves?

[@yourcomrades223]

yes you can do it, but if you do it in a different account from the account that has purchased the paid game then it won't work and you have to buy the game again

[@Kirby789z]

Thanks for this tutorial. So it worked as far as reinstalling the games quickly. However, my save data seems to be missing. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

[@Doofz]

save data is most of the time in other folder like "documents"

[@yourcomrades223]

for the save data file you can find it in the document but there is also a steam game that provides a cloud save feature so you don't have to worry about losing your save data

[@egydevil2050]

Thank You Man that was very helpful

[@BlackouttheNightWing]

If I just want to copy all my games over am I able to just copy all the folders and app manifests instead of finding each individual one?
