Steam read the wrong drive?

[kristofferclausen37]

So I moved fallout 4 from drive d to drive f (hdd-ssd)today but when open the game taskmanager* says that drive d is at 100% and drive f is at 1-2% why is that? it messes my game completely up and makes it unplayable. how to fix???

maybe it's because your new drive is ssd that's why it's 1-2 % ?

Youll find more help on the steam forums then here.

Did you actually reinstall the game on the SSD? Or did you just copy and paste the files and then try to launch it?

 

[timmy_area51]

you can make steam library folders on other drives , you just need to do it from steam settings and not by hand

i copied it to the ssd. deleted it from the hdd and told it to download on the ssd and steam then found the files and installed some missing files from the game

but why do the hdd go to 100% when i open the game

 

[timmy_area51]

cause the read write speeds on an hdd are much slower

Within the Steam client;
To move an already installed game
Games library
Right click the game
Properties
Local Files
Move Install Folder

i know how to move it and so i did but when i open fallout 4 which is on the ssd not the hhd. the stress on the hdd stil increases from (idle) 0-2% in taskmanager* to around 90-100% . is it supposed to be like that?

Where is the OS?
Where is the Steam client?
Where is the Save data for the game?
Where is your pagefile?

 

[kristofferclausen37]

OS is on C:
Steam is on E:
the save data is at C:\Users\krist\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Saves
and im not sure where or what page file is but maybe this helps https://imgur.com/gallery/WQrpG
and the game is located on F:

Are these physical drives or partitions?
How long does this stay at "100%" ?

 

[kristofferclausen37]

all physical
and its only at 100% at demanding times i everthing frezes and i ussualy just restart the game but that doesnt fix it

i just opened it again and it doesnt freeze it but stays around 19-26 fps but it stays at 100% normaly i would get 50-60

the solution is to do a factory reset
