    So, I am running out of room on my HD, I have another and I am curious if there are any issues with using
    STEAM's "move files" option. I would hate to lose the 10 million :p gigabyts of downloaded car's, tracks, ect. Has anyone done this and were there any issues? It took MONTHS to get the game running the way
    I like it...would hate to screw that up as well. Thanks for any insight you may have.

    EDIT: looking at the "Local Files" thru STEAM, it says they are 3.55 GB? But when I look at the folder with windows, it is well over 100 gig...will moving the install folder to another drive cause steam to download a bunch of stuff? My internet won't like that at all..:(

    Hi.
    You can use symbolic links to keep the workshop, and purchased dlc packages on a seperate drive. That easily frees up a shitload of space.
    I have no idea why rf2 makes you keep those files after installing them.

    Regards.
