So I copied all my game folders (not steam backup through steam) there is no way to add them back to steam without re downloading?

put it in the install directory. if you're using a standard setup it's "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Company of Heroes 2". if there isn't a directory then make one. steam (unlike origins) will automatically detect the files.

that's why i brought up multiple HDD/SSDs btw, i have all (~~600GB) of my games on D:\ and when i do a reformat i just have to reinstall steam and it automatically finds everything.

I tried that though, it gives a app crash and then steam tried to 'add' (download) coh.

I saved a link at home, to a thread that stated you have to add some file, which states the game is installed.

@ipkai

If this solution of mine does not work, or I cannot find that file, I will give your way a shot.

huh. i have never run into that issues and i've reinstalled steam at least once a year on average; could be a recent change. i also haven't installed steam on a single drive setup in quite a while so that could be part of it. my path is "D:\Games\Steam\..." it's worked perfectly this way for 5 years.

apparently with origin you have to tell it to start downloading the file, pause the download, copy the files into the new install folder, and upon resuming origin will detect the new files. bit of a pain in the ass though.
