Transfer Game Files: Steam

Due to a recent dodgy Steam update I deleted my existing Steam file and downloaded a fresh copy and installed through CrossOver Games. The fresh copy how ever does not have the game files, is it possible to transfer the game files from the previous version of Steam, and if so can some one step through it for me please. I really don't fancy using a whole months download capacity on games already on my hard drive. Cheers!

Hi,

You haven't indicated which OS you are using ; the paths I example
are linux-centric ;

A Steam installation keeps it's local game files in the following dir;

~/.cxgames/[bottle_name]/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/

You can copy the content of this directory into a new Steam bottle installation
(to the same relative path location).

You will probably need to verify the local game files from within the Steam GUI
itself, but the fies should verify ok.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!

Thanks Don,
I had the transferring of files done in the period of time waiting for a response but it still didn't give me fun times! After I read your reply about the verifying I loaded Steam, and presto it worked, but I verified as described just to be sure. Not sure why it was being difficult, but all is well in the world now. Thank you for the response!
