kombucha Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I installed Crossover Mac and through it I installed Steam in its own bottle. Of course, when I run Steam, my games are listed as "Not Installed". Where they are installed to, however, is my NTFS-write-enabled external hard drive. All of the .gcf's are there, as well as saved games and settings and whatnot. How can I make Crossover cognizant of these files? Is there some sort of symbolic link I can add to the Steam folder (username\Applications\Crossover\Steam) that lets this virtual Steam see its files appropriately? I just don't have nearly enough hard disk space free there to install my Steam games (22gb). I also tried just running the existing Steam.exe from my external, but wineserver crashes while Steam loads. Thanks for the ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 So I was on the right track, I just didn't know how to do it. I used Automator and a script I found online to create a symbolic link to \SteamApps in /Users/(me)/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/(bottle name)/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/ and upon a restart of Steam and Crossover, all my games were listed as installed ready to update and everything. Now it's time to try them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
