How can I copy/transfer games via external hard drive? 5 answers

I've just downloaded Team Fortress 2 from Steam on another PC and I would really like to copy it on my home PC.

So, I copied the 'steamapps' folder and compressed it with 7zip, it went from 12 GB to 4.5 GB, which should save me a lot of time when downloading it.

So once it's done, all I have to do is replace 'steamapps' with the one in my home PC's folder and it'll work, right?

I would like to know, before I actually download the game, will what I have done actually work or is there another way that I am supposed to do it?

Any help would really be appreciated.

That should work: Steam forums

Another way would be to backup your game data in Steam (this compresses as well if I'm not mistaken) and to open that with Steam on the other machine.

Either way should work :)

If you just want TF2 you can only copy/paste its folder. For it to work on your second machine (home pc) you must install it from your library, indicating on which library will it be (or a custom location if it is another one). Steam should properly detect any pre-existing files and skip most of the download.

I'm sure this works as I've done it multiple times between formats.

Team Fortress is largely internet-based. You will need an internet connection to play. Do not bother with this copying of steamapps. It is far better just to download Steam and then TF2 on your 'home computer' than to copy paste bits and bobs.

Yes, copying data works. Don't use the Steam backup functionality by the way, it's utter garbage.

One thing that is important is that after copying you have to delete the actual tf2.exe-file and redownload that one - everything else should be recognised by Steam.

Steam is a video game digital distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation. It was launched in 2003 as a way for Valve to provide automatic updates to its first-party games, but eventually expanded to include non-Valve games, adding features and offerings from third-party developers and publishers. Steam offers digital rights management (DRM), matchmaking servers, video streaming, and social networking services. It also provides the user with installation and automatic updating of games, and community features such as friends lists and groups, cloud saving, and in-game voice and chat functionality.

The software provides a freely available application programming interface (API) called Steamworks, which developers can use to integrate many of Steam's functions into their products, including networking, matchmaking, in-game achievements, microtransactions, and support for user-created content through Steam Workshop. Though initially developed for use on Microsoft Windowsoperating systems, versions for macOS and Linux were later released. Mobile apps were later released for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone in the 2010s. The platform also offers a small selection of other content, such as applications, soundtracks, anime, and films.

The Steam platform is the largest digital distribution platform for PC gaming, estimated in 2013 to have 75% of the market space.^[4] By 2017, users purchasing games through Steam totaled roughly US$4.3 billion, representing at least 18% of global PC game sales.^[5] By 2019, the service had over a billion registered accounts with 90 million monthly active users. The success of the Steam platform has led to the development of a line of Steam Machinemicroconsoles, which include the SteamOSoperating system and Steam Controllers, and the Steam VR platform.

Before implementing Steam, Valve Corporation had problems updating its online games, such as Counter-Strike; providing patches would result in most of the online user base disconnecting for several days. Valve decided to create a platform that would update games automatically and implement stronger anti-piracy and anti-cheat measures. Through user polls at the time of its announcement in 2002, Valve also recognized that at least 75% of their users had access to high-speed Internet connections, which would grow only with planned Internet expansion in the following y
