Valve has announced that a significant issue with Steam's local game transfer functionality has been addressed, with the company asserting that the problem is now truly resolved. This feature allows users to move installed games between drives on the same computer without needing to re-download them. The tool has been a subject of user frustration for an extended period due to various bugs and inconsistencies that plagued its operation.
Previously, attempting to transfer games via Steam's built-in tool often resulted in failed transfers, corrupted game files, or other errors that necessitated complete reinstallation. These issues meant that many users resorted to manual transfer methods or simply re-downloading titles, negating the intended convenience of the feature. Valve's acknowledgment and subsequent fix aim to provide a reliable solution for players managing large game libraries across multiple drives.
