Monash Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 My C drive is getting very full and I'd like to change the location of the Saved Games folder to a larger drive. I've found two possible solutions: (1) change the file path in the Location Tab of the Saved Games Properties dialog (accessed by right clicking on the Saved Games folder, and (2) create a directory junction (which I think is a type of symbolic link). I'd really (and I mean really) prefer to use the first option, but before making the change, I was hoping for confirmation from others that this method actually works. And, if it does work, are there any other changes needed, for example, will DCS recognise the new location or do I also have to make some changes within DCS? 1 AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor 4.70 GHz NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super 96.0 GB RAM Quest 3

Probably also in the saved games folder? Edited May 17, 2023 by jackd
