I've watched this maybe 4-5 times in the last 12 months and I'm shocked Epic hasn't implemented a "move game" feature yet. Thank you FRASER nonetheless, still works as of Feb 2022
They have you just uninstall then reinstall and when it asks you where you want the game to download to you can chose where, not sure if people know this I found out while watching this video.
@@d1gitalbandit158 That is, as you said, just uninstalling and then reinstalling. This video is showing you how to move the file to a new loaction without having to reinstall the game.
I like to leave a comment to ensure to new viewers this is reputable, this helped me move fortnite from my HDD to my SSD no problem at all! Super quick and easy and left out no details!
Thank you so much. I just followed all the steps and it worked perfectly and I moved the game to my SSD and the loading screen went from mutiple mins of my life wasted to only about 30 seconds thank you!
I was literally on the verge of tears over this, cause I thought I'd messed my computer up for good, then came across this tutorial and everything is fixed. Thank you so much
Superb. Wanted to move my game and thought......where is a move feature. 🤦. I tried this with a small games to test it works. Incase I move a large one and fails. But it was perfect. Thank you 😁👍👍👍👍
for anyone confuse why the game reinstall again although you did the exact same steps in the video, please check the "Downloads" section in Epic Games, it probably just verify your game, 0 download speed is the proof. Confirmed, this method still working.
I did this while there was an update queued so obviously it needs to download the update but I am not sure if it is just downloading the update or the full game none the less I will post an update about which one it turns out to be in case any one else runs into a similar situation
This is reason why i usually avoid buying games from Epic store , Steam has this useful feature of moving game to another hard drive. Thanks for your tutorial i was running out of space because GTA 5 installed by default in C drive and i wanted to move it to E drive
@@Siebe-ps9gz What fucks it up for me is if I mess up the Fortnite.Old and Fortnite folder thing. Make sure to copy your Fortnite.Old to your desired Fortnite install directory before installing a fresh copy from the launcher. After that just follow the steps 2:08
I did it like this but then it tries to reinstall the entire game again even though I had it installled but moved it to a different drive same day, the game files were up to date but still wants to reinstall everything.
Well I tried the same, although after moving the files, when I launched the game, it says unable to open bigfile.000, and I can see only the welcome screen
thank you so much bro! what is did is format my ssd because I got driver problems and I installed fortnite in my other drive the "hdd" and i dont want to reinstall it again lol. i subscribed to you bro i format my disk like 5 months ago and ofc fortnite will update a little bit like 1gb
So... the verify process got to 98% and then it went right back to "install" and proceeded to start downloading the entire game again to the new location
Thanks for the tutorial but man the Epic launcher sucks to have to go through all this, they need a simple move command like Steam has, this is a real p.i.t.a if you have several large games, it's one of the reasons I would buy on Steam first... even GOG you can move your game folders, tell it to scan and it will pick them up once you tell it what folder... come on Epic, make your launcher do more than have a way to put a store in players faces.

Tysm I accidently installed gta on my ssd and because of you I got it on my hdd now. I can't thank you enough :D

@@Caesar.X yes no one likes to see it red lol
But ssd gives more fps in gta 5
@@verceti yes but my ssd is full
@@ruben6120 nah don’t worry about FPS sdd and hdd doesn’t affect FPS, just loading in time
You explained it way better than the other video that has more views.
Follow the steps exactly it works just fine... Thank you for the video.

Epic could make it so much easier and make it like steam has where you click the game and change its location. Thanks so much for the help bro!
Thank you so much. I just followed all the steps and it worked perfectly and I moved the game to my SSD and the loading screen went from mutiple mins of my life wasted to only about 30 seconds thank you!
