Linking Steam and Current Copy w/o Re-downloading [Solved]

Miflett

So I crumbled and bought ESO again on steam and absolutely hate myself for it (thanks ZOS!).

I just need some help obtaining an appmanifest file from the steam directory so I don't have to go about downloading an additional 45GB worth of data (I live in a very rural location).

If one of you that has it on steam could open up the steamapps directory of your steam installation and find the file "appmanifest_306130.acf" in textpad and paste here the code, I'd greatly appreciate it.

UPDATE:

Looks like I finally got a hit on the Steam Discussion Forum, but in order to help any one else with this same problem, I'll provide the link:

A user named Lik linked to the file, and all is good with it.

I believe you will have better luck on the Steam community forums , hell, this thread may get locked by ZOS for "reverse-engineering" -.-

Yea, I posted there as well, but since its a more restricted forum I hadn't been able to get a single reply. It shouldn't be too personal of a thing to ask for, but it would sure help me out.

I've moved the files over, I just need the file that tells steam that its sitting there. =]

I'll be sure to post on the steam discussion board too when I have something, as another there has asked as well.

As you can see most of us here are still waiting for our Steam redemption keys , so even if we wanted to help we wouldn't be able to do so .

I can only say good luck

Must be nice, playing your game through Steam...>:(

Miflett

Yea, I feel really bad for doing it. I am insane.

Still like to be able to link that code, however, but I'll continue that fight elsewhere.

I believe someone could link the code by asking customer support, i can't remember the thread though
