About to do a clean install, backing up everything to my secondary drive. With my steam and my steam games I simply copy/paste them back into the proper location after re-install and then run the steam installer and no re-download required.
I thought I could do the same with The Outer Worlds which I installed through the Xbox (beta) app because it's included with my game pass subscription. But even when I take ownership and give full control it still refuses to copy most of the files, excpet about 250MB out of about 38GB. Really don't want to re-download it because it takes at least 15 hours on my internet connection, if it downloads at my max of 6Mbps.
If the issue is digital rights, I don't see why they can't just check when you download something if you already own it or not. Is it to try to stop people from using mods or altering save data or somehting? Ridiculous.
