Title: Steam library folders and symlinks
Nonjuffo 2 Oct 2018
- Link
I tried to add a symlink as a new steam library folder, but symlinks don't show up in the dialog behind the "Add library folder"-button. No way to type in the path manually either. Is there some technical reason why symlinks shouldn't be used or is this a bug? Not a huge problem, but still somewhat annoying.
