Jwelp
Aenough with going around circles avoiding that exact thing im looking for, so help me with symlinking the game files im totally aware of riskes comes with but just making my money worth of drive to be fully used to do the job i seek.
Anormally should be compressed to 160gb minimal lol
Hmy guess would be a cod game or something
Jonly the modern ones could reach even close to that size
Jand they don't run on linux due to their invasive anti-cheat
Hyep
AOh wow you want to do something cursed
Aits not a cod game and its modern game lol
AOk I'll provide you the footgun
VKnowing the game is a basic troubleshooting step.
ADo you know the dir you want to move?
Hopen terminal and type
in most cases you just want
you must already have installed the game and must have moved the source files to their new location
there is your foot gun
man ln to read the manualin most cases you just want
ln -s "$SOURCE" "$DESTINATION"you must already have installed the game and must have moved the source files to their new location
there is your foot gun
APretty much, move the folder you want to your hdd
AThen ln -s <hddloc> <origloc>
AUse absolute paths for both
Ahow that can symlink every files that has different name each one?
Hyou must symlink folders
Hif you need to symlink individual files, have fun typing
AYes you symlinkbthe directory
AAnd hope steam does not f with ut
J* may break when applications try to act on the raw file entry
** steam might delete the symlink while updates
*** will not work if you are using the steam runtime because of containers
** steam might delete the symlink while updates
*** will not work if you are using the steam runtime because of containers
ASteam runtime uses containers now?
Athats painful if im trying to type 90 files name lol
ANo you should graft a dir
AOtherwise it's not worth it
Halso based on this attitude, dont be surprised if people stop helping in the future
AYes containers can't follow symlinks
Ahuh?
and just want to improvise the loading textures in nearly everything.

AI will assume it's an ultra 4k waifu simulator and call it a day
Hand this is why i repeatedly told him to not do it 
AMove the core dir of the game to your SD card and symlink
AThat's all you can do
Aunderstandble just stressful if somebody goes round the loop that isnt going to middle that answer u want lol
Jdo what I do
Hin some cases the answer you want is not the one that works
in this case
in this case
noAJust let him brick it people will do what they want lmao
ASomebody needs to try it
Abrick what?
AThe game
Ja hardlink could work
AThen you'll just reinstall
Jbut cross-partition hard links are not possible
DAlways has been since slr 2.0
Steam linux runtime use bwrap
Steam linux runtime use bwrap
AHardlink I think is limited to the same fs
Jso, :womp:
Jsame partition*
ASure
Jit works by referencing the same node in two entries, so not even cross partition on the same drive works
