I'm having a few troubles trying to get a few games that i copied off my mates computer that were completely updated to the newest version and this afternoon. However i think there might be an issue with Steam and my hard drive setup so here's a quick rundown:
Steam is installed on my SSD which is where Win7 OS is installed, i only have 2 games on the SSD.
I have a secondary storage HDD that i created a SteamLibrary in, however, everytime i restart steam it doesn't discover the games installed on the HDD and i have to manually go to settings and re-add the SteamLibrary and then it discovers everything. Now when i try and place these new games i copied from my friend (i do own these games as well) into the E:\SteamLibrary\common i press install and it states the familiar "Discovering existing files..." the loading bar reaches the end and it displays "Steam is now downloading [insert game name here]" and it begins to completely re-download the entire game. If you check the folder of the game in E:\SteamLibrary\common it says the folder is only several mb large. When you check the download folder however the folder will be pretty much the same size as when i copied it over and is the same size that steam is supposedly downloading.
Any ideas what is going on ?
