Search for the server via the ArmA 3 launcher as it seems this is the most successful method to connect and match the mods

[DoubleD]

I'm in

 

[Concord]

I will try to make it.

 

[Concord]

Is it at the usual time?

 

[Gnarly]

How big are the Northern Fronts DLs (so I can plan)?

 

[Gnarly]

How big are the Northern Fronts DLs (so I can plan)?

About 5GB folks, so get on it.

 

[Nathangun]

I should be there, well here but on the PC.

 

[Nathangun]

How big are the Northern Fronts DLs (so I can plan)?

15 GB on my PC.

 

[DoubleD]

Sadly Steam put's mods on the system drive, not any secondary drives. Games can be put on secondary but apparently not mods. If one is running a smaller SSD for the system, mods can consumer a lot of space

So does that mean your Hard Drive hasn't the room?

 

[DoubleD]

I've made the room, I've had to delete some other stuff and mods to ensure I've got space :shockaroona:

Half a gig and it just fills so quickly. Probably Microsoft garbage that doesn't get cleaned up

I had to do that as well as well as my backup windows 10 is gone.

Not true, Steam stores workshop content wherever Steam itself is installed

I think I originally installed Steam on C, so the workshop is on C. To change I have to uninstall everything steam and reinstall everything, all games etc. I've been able to avoid it, but it's getting close

Just found this, maybe easier than I thought https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129

We shall see

 

[Concord]

I'm in the same situation @DoubleD.

 

[DoubleD]

I'm in the same situation @DoubleD.

Just finished this process; worked a treat. Entire steam is now on D drive and I've freed 100GB off my main C SSD. Was pretty easy, took about 40 minutes

 

[DoubleD]

@Concord, finally got all this sorted, OMG, I cleared over 100 GB from my SSD C drive and 200 GB from my D drive . Not sure what had happened but stuff was duplicated left, right and centre, ArmA and Fallout 4 mods duplicated all over the place... WTF. I have freed SOOOOO much drive space now. Only worry is my OCD is coming out now, I'm hunting for other things to clear up

 

[Concord]

I have my games set to install to my normal (D) hard drive, but Steam itself has been installed to my (C) SSD drive.
I checked the Steam settings, and the games installation path is correctly set to my D drive.

But despite this, my game mods have been installing to my C drive? Is this correct?
Actually, just checked the Steam folder on C, and it comes in at 1.3 GB. Arma3 on D drive is 64 GB.
How can I confirm where my Workshop mods are going? Is it the Expansion folder?

 

[Concord]

Just checked, and my C drive SSD is a piddly 222 GB. 148 GB is used and only 74 free.
Trying to do a stocktake, with my limited knowledge of computer systems.

Windows takes a whopping 26 GB. There's also a mysterious folder called Windows.old which is 29 GB. Wonder what THAT is.
Program Files is using 7 GB and (x86) is using 7 GB. ProgramData is 9GB.
Users comes in at 21 GB, of which AppData is 15 GB.

Still about 50 GB unaccounted for.
Even if I did locate everything, I know just enough about computer systems to realise I can't start just deleting stuff.
Might be time for a new comp. This rig is getting old. Probably about 6 or 7 years.
