Installing on non C drive when C is near full....

Hi there friends!

I tried searching the forums to the answer for this and couldn't find anything that fit. I have a PC that has a small SSD C: drive that barely fits windows OS and 2x 2 TB alternate drives. I saw on an old thread from 2021 that you can select the drive that you install the game on by clicking options when installing from the standalone installer. I am running into an issue where the installer is trying to allocate space from C: before giving me the option to switch HD locations. Is there anything I can do to work around this immediate disc allocation attempt when opening the installer?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

you can always select drive other than C

Just never never click next next next and read all the options on the screen before clicking next

More simple in Steam anyway

crap, so... Short story, I am dumb! Longer story - I didn't think the the Terms of service page would have install options so I didn't think to click it. I thought there was supposed to be another window afterwards that had install prompt with an options button that I was somehow not seeing. I'm dumb.

If anyone want's to hire an "average user" for some UX testing ;) I'm available.

Sorry for wasting anyones time who made it this far. I'll see you in game asking even more dumb questions!

Make sure to move your shader cache from .appdata to the new drive also to reduce lag even if both are SSD's.

"Go to: C:\Users\Your.Username\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile

Open: production_config.ini with Notepad.

Edit line: cache_directory=C:/Users/YourUsername/AppData/Roaming/Path of Exile/

Set that directory to where you want it to be, on your SSD."
