Change the cs:s install folder

Postby elemenz on Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:12 am

Why won't the installer let me change the folder?
I do NOT want to install cs:s (yes, reinstalling, it fucked up) into C:/ but D:/ where all my other games are...

WTF???

Great, yet another genius at work at valve...

You gotta install Steam first. If you don't, it will force the cs:s installation path to be C: and you cant change it. After you install Steam it will automatically suggest cs:s to be installed in the same folder you browsed and chose Steam to be...... duh.

Well if all your other games are on the same drive as Steam then what's the problem with all your Steam games being in the same folder as Steam? :\

thats not the problem, the problem is that apparently you cannot install css on another harddisc if steam hasnt been installed first. Which, indeed, is stupid.
