Add any and all Steam libraries across all your hard drives (i.e. Ebook percy jackson series bahasa indonesia inggris. C: Program Files Steam, D: Steam ). If you move games across you may be prompted to re-verify the files next time. Small tool to add additional library folders to Steam. The primary use of this tool is to easily add library folders on drives that already have library folders on them. Steam restricts this for some reason.

Until we get 1TB SSD’s for less than $1000, space on them is always at a premium. One strategy is to split your Steam game installs between drives. For slow loading or games you play often, you might want those on your SSD. For infrequently played games, you likely want those on a big, cheap platter drive. Steam gives you the ability to have multiple libraries on multiple drives, but it doesn’t always work as expected.

I tried recently to add a library to a big platter drive, and got the message 'Failed to add new steam library to folder'. I tried all kinds of ways of creating the library, but always got the same message. My drive was not out of space, I had adequate permissions. I started/restarted steam. No luck.

The problem:
Failed to add new steam library to folder
The issue is that the Steam client cannot add new libraries while anything is happening to the existing game library. In my case, one single game (way off the bottom of the screen!) was updating. This activity prevents the Steam client from being able to add a new library folder.

The solution:
Pause or cancel the download/update. Make sure nothing is updating, then go to the Library display view in the Steam client. Then select: Steam->Settings->Steam Libraries Folders->Add Library Folder. You should then be able to select/create new library folders on new drives.

The shaming:
Valve engineers – fix that dialog! Be sure to tell people WHY you can’t create the folder, not just that you can’t. Error messages are useless unless they give you enough information about what’s wrong so that you can fix the problem. Especially one so simple to report.

We're seeing even more leaks out of a recent Steam Beta update from Valve that not only hinted at the SteamPal console, and the new Downloads page but also a big overhaul to the Library manager.

If you only have one storage drive, you've probably never used it or even looked at it. In the Steam Client, you can set where you want Steam to install downloads into, with it being pretty darn archaic right now and not so useful. I give you Exhibit A:

Thanks once again to Pavel Djundik of SteamDB for pointing out the new leak on Twitter, we know that Valve are testing a complete overhaul to bring it in line with their modern styling. Note: you need to opt into the Steam Beta.

Steam Multiple Library Folders

It's currently a little on the broken side but you can easily see where they're going with this:

Steam Library Folders Registry

To enable it you need to open then Steam console by going to 'steam://open/console', and then enter 'bEnableNewContentManagement 1' to enable the feature (and 0 to turn it back off). To find the Download folders you go into Steam Settings -> Downloads -> Steam Library Folders.

Steam Library Folder Missing

Once the styling on it is cleaned up, it looks to be far more useful giving you more data about each storage folder at a glance and yup - even a bit more console like I would say. Would fit in more on a SteamPal don't you think? Desktop too of course, it actually seems quite useful to get a proper breakdown like that.
