Some moving problems

[Niven]

Well, im getting a new computer. So Im putting all my games, Tf2, gmod, onto a portable harddrive. I already did that. I copied the whole Steam folder from my Program Files x86. But I noticed my Call of Duty Modern Warefare 2 isnt there. I looked through the steam folder, and couldn't find it. Any ideas/help?

Did you buy it on Steam? Or is it a shortcut TO the game?

[Madmitten]

make sure you have your steamapps folder in there

[Niven]

Katamarii gifted it to me directly from Steam.

When you install programs, it puts stuff in your directory. You can't copy and paste the contents of a folder because the executables won't work.

Why don't you just redownload them on your new computer?

Can I do that? Because Kat gifted me it, I thought it was a one-time download.

would it be possible to put the installation folder in there and then run it on the new computer?

Yes, that's the point of Steam. It's a one time buy, not one time download.

ooook.
So I can go back to my email they sent me, on my new computer, and download it again from there?

Just open steam client and double click on the game title.

[Niven]

Wait, but does this mean I have to earn all my stuff back?

[Swholli]

Like achievments and stuff?

No, that's all saved to your account. You will lose saved games though, or least I always do. Might want to back those up.
