There is a specific problem that can't be solved by changing the whole STEAM installation/folders to a new drive.
Let me explain.

I bought a new pc and I got an expensive SSD disk to be used ONLY for Win7, drivers and Clod. It's only 64GB and it can't fit all my STEAM games in there.
I don't care if X-steam game is installed in D drive, but all I want to do is to have CLOD in the SSD drive.

Anyone knows how to do this?
Silly Steam, they should be more smart and have a solution to this specific problem.

Anyone who can help?

Well,

The EASIEST way:
Let's say your SSD drive is C: ad your other drive is D:

You installed Steam at D:
Steam installed COD on D: normally under the directory il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover
COPY the whole directory D:\....\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover to C:\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

From now on, launch the game NOT through steam but, starting the C:\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\launch.exe
Steam must be running on the background as always.

Your problem is solved...

PS1. When a new patch arrives through steam, you will have to copy the whole directory from D: to C. again.

PS2. Your conf.ini, confuser.ini etc etc are NOT impacted in any case as they are in the My Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover directory which always stays there and remains unchanged even if you move the files of the game fromD: to C:

Elpizo na boithisa...
