dulix11 10 Posted June 17, 2014 I'll start by saying, my internet sucks. So, I got a friend to give me the ArmA 3 folder (the one in the steamapps folder) so that I can put it into my steamapps folder, click install on ArmA 3, and then be done, without any of my limited data being used. Problem is, when I tried it, the ArmA 3 folder goes from, ~13gb down to ~4gb, as steam is "Discovering existing files for ArmA III"... Steam starts deleting all of the .pbo files, which take up the majority of the games size, and so I have a 7.7gb download left. Do the .pbo's get updated with every other update? Why is it doing this? I've done this a few times, and it has worked, but this time it doesn't. I could run the executable straight from the ArmA 3 folder, and it would run fine, albeit with a few errors here and there, but now it doesn't work. Any ideas?

maddogx 13 Posted June 17, 2014 There are a bunch of files with numbers inside the steamapps folder. The numbers represent the Steam ID of the games, and one of those refers to ARMA3 (should be 107410). What you need to do is get your friend to give you that file, then you need to edit it and make sure the paths are correct. Then, when you launch Steam, ARMA3 should show as already installed.

dulix11 10 Posted June 19, 2014 Is that the appmanifest file? What exactly do I need to do with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
