    This is actually the proper way to do this. Not all game can use the 'simple method'. This is for a game that insist on downloading the game files. Thank you man.

    I did it in Two step :
    1/ I move my game to the other steam library location
    2/ I install the game, and it discovered the existing file of the game.
    more easy

    the problem is steam is allocating disk space and while doing this steam uses the space available, it seems like steam is forcing you to download everything or double the space amount required

    for a simpler solution, you could just put your game in the common files before installing it. steam will discover those existing files and will download any missing files. but it takes longer since steam will sort through those files one by one

    Will this let me use controller support now? (Not home atm so can’t try this out)
    the game I cracked is a game that *does* have controller support, but only for Xbox if you didn’t get it from steam (I’m assuming, since google tells me my PS4 controller should be working, but it isn’t) I.. am not good with keyboard. And rather sit back and play with a joystick rather then sitting close and squinting at the keys and getting confused.. since my hands and brain do not work together ^^;
