Also note you cannot create a new location path here. Be sure and click the dropdown menu if you change the installation from the default location. So now that you know you have the hard drive space and have decided to install it, just click the "Library" tab, then highlight "rFactor 2", then click the "Install" button. If you want to do this and have a problem getting it accomplished, let one of the SCSR Admins know and we can meet on Teamspeak to walk through it. Note I have Steam installed to D:\Steam and rF2 to D:\rFactor2. Here is an image of my current Steam games hard drive. The procedure to change the path is explained here. Installing it to its own folder allows easier access to rFactor2 files without needing to navigate through the Steam program to get to your rFactor2 files. That said, if you want to install it to the root of another drive you can, but it is not required or necessary. So presuming you have space on your C: hard drive, it’s not a problem to install to the default Steam folder. One big change from the non-Steam version is, Steam has special code flags to bypass the Windows permission restrictions on the exe files, something that non-Steam didn’t include. Now that you have the rFactor2 Steam license, you need to do one other thing – decide where you want to install it and where you have space to install it! Finicky, but it helps avoid other problems later on. Sometimes updates don't appear until the previous update is installed, and sometimes Steam doesn't find updates until it is restarted. Once it is done checking, close Steam, reboot, then check it again. In the upper left menu, click on "Steam" then "Check for Steam Client Updates". To do that, double-click the Steam shortcut icon on your desktop. Doing so can save some headaches later on with regards to permissions and accessing / installing files.īefore installing any game in Steam, it is wise to make sure your Steam installation is up-to-date. I would suggest you install it in a non-protected Windows folder. You can use the default installation for Steam, and it will load it into C:\Program Files\Steam\ but you may want to consider installing it in a different location on another drive that has more space (for example, D:\Steam\ or D:\Games\Steam\) and is not a Windows protected folder. That is determined by your available hard drive space.
Next, decide where you want it to install it. If you do not already have the Steam program, you can download the free program from.
