it would be nice if anyone could provide insight on how to get rid of it permanently.Ħ) Next comes moving saved games and folders of large and frequently changing stuff back on the regular D: drive. If it persists in coming back you can ignore it (as it uses no space) but if it does persist in coming back. If you had not applied some patch, the game will proceed to apply any patchesĥ) At some point the old original folder might show up again, but it will contain no files. At this point you are done with the specific game. and - so long as you had played it recently - go straight to "Download Complete" and give you a Play button. The process with start with a check of files. Next change the target folder to the location where the game is in your new drive. The button that normally says "Play" will show as "Download". Otherwise, just launch uplay.exe.Ĥ) Repeat the following for each game, inside uPlay:

If you used custom folder names, make sure you don't forget to:įor me (I had put it all under a uPlay folder in D it was just one folder to move.ģ) If you use a shortcut to launch uPlay, make sure to update it so that it is pointing to uplay.exe in your new drive and that it has the correct new folder path. If you are paranoid (like me) first copy it, then rename the old one (for example add BAK to the folder name). I won't describe this as you can google and find reliable instructions for it easily.Ģ) With uPlay closed (not running), move your uPlay folder to the new drive. Or later with a 3rd SSD I could even setup E: as a drivepool.Ģ) Move the save data folder back in D: so that they will be backed up automatically and I won't lose them if E: crashes.ģ) Move any large and frequently changing folders (screenshots, video recordings, etc) to D: so that I don't constantly bang on the SSD thus reducing its lifespan.ġ) If any of your Ubi games are installed from Steam, move Steam to E: first. That way I get the performance gains, and if E: crashes I can always reinstall the games themselves.

So I run only Windows on a C: SSD (with automatic backups to another drive so that I can quickly restore C: by replacing the drive and restoring) and put all of my software and data on a D: drivepool (using Stablebit's software, so that if a drive goes bad I simply remove it and keep on working until I buy the replacement for the broken drive).īut being aware that games run much better on an SSD and I just got a 2nd SSD, I set it up as E. I am fairly paranoid about being able to recover against crashes. I suggest stickying it or moving it to an appropriate "tutorials / HOWTO subforum" if such a thing exists. By googling I found many posts on the topic, but nothing comprehensive to all of uPlay, nor simple and straightforward. Posting this as a service to the community.
