Hi all, please use your RISK name to transfer purchases and accounts. We see a lot of you trying with Facebook, Google, Apple - that wont work. What will work: 1. Take your mobile, go into the settings and set a password (unless you did that already). You need to have a RISK name there (the randomly generated one) 2. Write down or memorize your RISK name (the randomly generated one, like "Lucius The Cruel 33" and the password set. 3. Go to Steam, log out if you already have a login active 4.

Local, have a controller plgged in and go to settings > gameplay > "Use multiseat for this session" and make sure you're in orbit camera.

Steam’s offline mode is notoriously problematic. To ensure it will work properly, you should perform a series of steps while online. If you don’t, Steam is supposed to prompt you for offline mode – but this doesn’t always work properly.

If Steam’s offline mode isn’t working at all, you may still be in luck – some Steam games don’t use Steam’s DRM at all and can be launched manually.

Is there anyway to tell what size the updates are to any given steam game?

I find myself in the same jam as I have before as my bandwidth is about $10 per gb and even though I can't find the exact size for the update to Just Cause 2...@100kbps it will take about 10 hours to download so that puts the size at about 3gb, right?.. costing me $30...meaning, I won't be playing this game again.

So for future reference, is there any way to tell what size the update that we evidently have no choice but to do (I assume so anyway) without having to aproximate the size and before I purchase the agame? I couldn't find the info anywhere.

Being forced to download outragously large updates is still rediculous. and I seriousely doubt I'm the only one who thinks so.. Origin and others don't require it, that in itself should tell you there is actually something too what I'm saying...simple logic.

It's not the end of the world for anyone and up to steam if they want to respond to the issue or not. Maybe those in the same shoes as I are such a minority steam doesn't care but it's such a needless thing to do to people/makes so little sense, unless it's somehow profitable for steam... I thought it worth the mention and always will....Hope no one minds too much. :)

While Steam’s Backup and Restore feature is reliable, it is really slow and will take more time than usual copy paste. If you’re okay with working a little more and take manual backup then head below and follow our guide for the same. Moreover, it has been a while since Steam updated their Backup and Restore feature which makes it a little slower than the usual copy paste of game files.
How to manually Backup and Restore Steam Games

1 Go to the Steam Installation folder. For Windows 10, the default path is “C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common”.
1 The folder will have sub-folders with all the installed games. Most of the games will carry the original name while some might be abbreviated.
1 Select the games you want to backup and copy them. Now paste them into another folder or drive where you wish to take the backup.

That’s it. This should backup all the game files to another drive. Make sure to backup the save files from Documents as well.
How to manually Restore Steam Games

1 First copy and paste the games you wish to restore to “C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common”.
1 Once done, open Steam and select the game and click Install.
1 Technically, Steam should start downloading the game at this stage but it will run a check for the game files first and since they are already there, the game will be installed directly instead of downloading. Although, it might still download any new updates which were not the part of the original backed up folder.

Also, make sure the install location and the location where you pasted the game matches else it will start downloading the game again.

Step 1: Make sure the game is completely deleted from steam. To be sure, delete local content of the game. Then you want to go ahead and start the download from steam like normal so it will get the appmanifest id and place it in the "steamapps" folder (this id is unique for each game, ex. appmanifest_8870.acf for Bioshock Infinite). Also, we want steam to start the download so it will populate the "downloading" folder in "steamapps" as well.

Step 2: Pause the download on steam and then go to steam-->steamapps-->downloading--> {insert name of folder}. The folder inside the "downloading" folder will vary depending on the game, but I believe it will always match the appmanifest id (ex. Bioshock Infinite appmanifest id was "8870" and the folder inside the "downloading" folder was "8870" as well). Once you have determined the correct folder, go ahead and copy/paste all your game files from your backup device.

Step 3: Once all files have been transferred, go ahead and resume download from steam.

Results: My download for both Bioshock Infinite and Borderlands 2 went from 0% to about 97%-99% almost immediately. I am not sure what files it is downloading afterwards, but it mostly recognizes the game after these steps. I imagine this will work for all other games that have this issue, but as of now I have only successfully tested this on the above two games. //

I had success with another process:

1: copy content from the backup into steam\steamapps\common*game name here*
2: copy appmanifest_###.acf to steam\steamapps\
Find number from google or other method
3: install game through steam, right after preallocating space it says 'Discovering local files' or something like that
4: download jumps to 99% or 100% (maybe less if you haven't played for a while and updates released.

Done
