Block Steam from redwonloading the redists #41

Closed Chaython closed 5 years ago

Chaython commented 5 years ago

This is pretty pointless; it took so long to execute; and Steam just redownloads all the redists. This would only be useful if it automatically added symbolic links or something so steam wouldn't redownload them... :/

jonathanlermitage commented 5 years ago

you should not delete redistributable packages for games that are regularly updated. You can uncheck them in the redist table.

I already tested symlinks, but it's a bad idea. Some packages may have same name and different size (and different content), and Steam may show some errors.

Chaython commented 5 years ago

I do see steam is building a "Steamworks Shared" for redists for some games; now %steamapps%\common_CommonRedist I actually noticed this a few months ago but there was only 2 in there : P so thought nothing of it Hopefully they do this for all of their applications in the future :/ Still wish redists were optional overall; as I've never needed them; and when all are present it's over a 100gb worth; and that's only with 60% of my library installed

jonathanlermitage commented 5 years ago

Thx!
If deleting this common_CommonRedist folder is a safe operation, I'll add to redist list.

steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared_CommonRedist It's building nearly everyday; so don't add it unless you somehow block it from building
