Since this folder would be created on starting the download, pausing and closing steam, copying the game files to this folder and then validating game files would make Steam absorb as much as possible and just download the missing files.Ĭurrently, Steam downloads the files to steam\steamapps\downloading\ and then moves them over to the aforementioned folder once the download finishes. Previously, as far as I understood, Steam downloaded the game files directly to steam\steamapps\common\.
This is very useful as it saves both bandwidth and time. It should be possible to use the existing installation to avoid the generally big downloads. I buy the same game (or a minor variant of it, say the GOTY edition) on Steam.
Let's say I have a game bought on retail/other digital download and installed on my hard drive.
