Hey guys,
there is a section about making symbolic links and the such. This is what to do after a fresh install:
-
download and install client
-
open command prompt as an administrator.
-
Say if I want to link my engine download into the file directory on my D drive “D:/Some Name/Put Engine Here” I would use the code:
mklink /D “C:\Program Files/Epic Games/4.8” “D:/Some Name/Put Engine Here”
- For the downloaded content (stuff in your vault) to move it into a folder called “D:/Some Name/Put Vault Here” I used the code:
mklink /D “C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Launcher/VaultCache” “D:/Some Name/Put Vault Here”
- then go into the D pathway and create the folder “Put Vault Here” in the “Some Name” folder
NOTES:
For ease sake though I went into my D drive and created the path “D:/Program Files/Epic Games/Launcher” and just mirrored the save locations to what they would be like on the C drive.
Before you actually create the link you need to delete the file in the C drive. What I mean is if you are making the link to the VaultCache folder, you need to delete that folder in the C pathway. After you create the link, you need to create a new folder in the D pathway.
