How the change the installation path? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:52 am

Hi everyone, New Vegas always wants to install itself on my c drive in the default directory, which I obviously DON'T want it to do.

Unfortunately a "change directory" button during the installation is nowhere to be seen, so my question is:

How can i change the installation path?

New Vegas is always installed inside the Steam/steamapps/Common/Fallout New Vegas location, you can't change that.

What you can change is the Steam install location. So if you want to install New Vegas on the D drive somewhere or whatever, you need to install Steam there.

This should avoid a full reinstall. Steam will use it's own compressed files to reinstall it.

1. find steam folder in program files.
2. right click on it
3. cut and paste in desired drive.
4. enjoy the game.
