a programmer need to force or make mistake it only work from there and that dont make any sense, its default install place and that will not change, you can change Drive letter manual D-drive "D:\Program Files(x86)" most do that. ( so it actual has nothings to do with that. and its has worked always, its people own Firewall or anti-virus app that doing it. ( Game Devs has use the "Program Files(x86)" from Window's vista age. which lets you just move the game to the other installation folder or back again.įirst of all sorry to be hard on the where you read have to install things outside "Program Files(x86)" they are noobs and dont get the Security issue with things has change and that's why they say it works better there. Install Steam on the fastest drive, have a "SteamLibrary" on the other drive, install on the fast or "slow" drive after thinking about it and if it does not work well, Steam has a feature in its Properties/Local Files/Move install folder. Was it worth it to put it on the fast SSD together with the OS? :-)

If your OS is doing stuff you can't avoid, it might be you get FPS drops you did not expect in the middle of an important multiplayer game. Something like COD or Skyrim should go to the fastest drive you have, normally. Something like " on SSD worth it" or so.įor example Minecraft does only start a bit faster if you put it on a SSD, but it does not run faster, so it is a waste to put Minecraft on a SSD in most cases. Nobody can say for sure before you try, but normally you can just google for it. That way your game is the only one using the hard drive for real. If you have multiple drives build in you should have Steam and its games on a different drive than your operating system IF the drives are all fast.
