Howto: Merge Pre-Downloaded Games with Steam

Merge Pre-Downloaded Games with Steam

The first trick was quite same as this. Just clients were different. The technique is quite same, just some differences between the clients. In this article, Pre-Downloaded is written for games which you downloaded from Steam, but for some reasons when you uninstalled Steam and re-installed it, and Steam asks for downloading the game again.

This trick is dedicated to none, but the Steam Gamers who face problems with the situation. As I wrote:

"Even the trick works with Steam."

in the Origin Trick Article, its not in your hands to find the trick working on and on. Nothing required for the trick except the Steam Client, Pre-Downloaded Games & A Nice Internet Connection.

Merging the Pre-Downloaded Game 

Its often seen Steam Games installed in SteamLibrary mainly in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common (If it has completed downloaded). So, now when Steam asks for the download, refer it to the exact destination of the pre-downloaded game.

Next, the download will start and download updates and patches from about 94% or it will not download anything if its a singleplayer game. When the steps are done, the game is ready to play.

Conclusion

Hope you like my tricks and will be loving them even in the future. It was really easy trick and thanks to Steam for such an interface. Only thing I don't like is that their transactions are really laggy. I just bought a $5 Steam Wallet, paid for it but it says failed transaction but payment has already been taken.

Anyways, its not your problem. Stay tuned for more amazing tricks and updates. If you have any problems that we can sort out or you have any tricks for us, send us an email at: say@howtoboy.in
