How do I move the game?

Hi Everyone! 

This may be as simple as moving the folder, but I want to ask:

How exactly do you move the game from one m.2 to the ssd? 

Thanks!!

open launcher, settings. Then change "game directory" to the new desired location, close launcher, copy previous instalation to new location.

well I did that backwards. I moved the folder then set the stuff in the launcher now it won't work. Trying to put it back then do it again

it says the LAUNCHER must run from C:\

So do I keep the launcher on C and move the other files?

Tbh was about to edit and say do what i said in reverse as you'd need to create the file path first. maybe clear temp folder afterwards also.

ok well it seems if I delete the files on C then the game doesn't launch, but I DID set the paths to G which is my ssd and it seems to work now. I don't know if its taking the game from C or G but it works lol 

Im going to try to delete the EFT file and leave the launcher file on C and see what happens

OK. 

SO the Launcher has to remain on C:\

What I did was copy the whole BattleState Games folder to the destination, then delete the BSGLauncher from the destination and delete the EFT folder from C:\ leaving the launcher on C:\ and the game on G:\

I then created a new shortcut from the C:\ and put it on my desktop. Opened the launcher and changed the game path directory to G:\

Seems to work now. Game should be pulling from the SSD and launching from C:\

Weird, but OK.
