You can move the game to wherever on whichever drive you want. There is no restriction of where the game can be moved to. In the “Open Directory” pop up window, browse to the directory / folder path you wish to move the game to, then click on Select Folder. Right-click the game you wish to move to another drive, then select Move Game. Here you can see all games you owned and have installed on your PC. In Origin client window, click on My Game Library. If you have an Origin game you would like to move from one drive to another, follow the steps below.įirst, launch Origin client.

How to move Origin games to another drive This short tutorial will show you how to move games installed through Origin client (screenshots updated for latest version of Origin client in 2021) such as Apex Legends, The Sims, FIFA, Battlefield, etc to another drive without the hassle of redownloading them all over again. As to which game(s) you're referring to, exact speeds at each step, and so on.There are often times we want to move installed games from one drive to another, for instance, from HDD to SSD for better loading performance, or from a smaller drive to a bigger drive, etc. This will give you a fair indication of what's going on.īut anyway, it'd be nice to see some more finite data from you. Note the graph, both the CPU, disk and net usage. Key thing to do, if you can, is keep an eye on the downloads page. Depending on the game it could simply be that's when it's doing it's most intensive work with the data, and therefore that's why you're seeing lesser performance. Then it continues on again.īut here's the kicker - if you're experiecing all that fine and dandy, that does NOT mean you should expect the same at the END of your download.

Then it stops the download while it unpacks and sorts the data out before writing to it's final location. What is actually happening is that the "chunk" downloads to a space on your drive.

Some games also behave a little differently to others - Ark SE and Payday 2 are notorious for downloading a chunk then seeming to do nothing, before carrying on again. Games are downloaded both encrypted AND compressed. Steam does things differently to most other places. It would be great if this was fixed.Īh, now you may be misunderstanding how it all works. I think Steam has plenty of resources to work with on my PC- but something is making installations take a long, long time and is burning CPU cycles. Then the installation of the content, even NEW content- not updates- takes far longer than the download did.

I restarted Steam, restarted the pc, did the 'ol "steam://flushconfig" trick - nothing seems to help so far :( I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!!!Ĭan't do anything about it. I am so scared what steam will doe with the rest of that 1.6Gb patch, the remaining 1.324.6Mb.

so that's why steam takes 4 minutes to download the first 276.4Mb of an 1.6Gb patch (10Mbit line), and is handeling that first 276.4Mb for over an hour. Originally posted by Cathulhu:Steam uses Delta patches.Īhhh. Addtionally some games, like ARK Survival Evolved or Payday 2 is notoriously known for having a slow patch process due to its file structure.

You no longer need to download a 2GB file just because 10MB in it changed, instead you just download the changes and the Steam client applies that to the file.ĭepending on what software can interfer with Steam it may prolong the procedure. This way the download size of patches massively decreased.

Then the patched file gets a hashcheck to verify nothing went wrong, takes time depending on file size.Īnd at last, the patched file gets moved into the game folder overwriting the outdated file. Then the files get patched, which can also mean decompressing files, that again take time.Īfter that is done, it gets recompressed if necessary, again takes time.

Then the Steam client creates a copy of the files that are in need to be patched.ĭepending on the file size that can take a moment. This means they only download the parts that changed in a file.
