Maybe I’ll repost this in discussion area. It seems to be on purpose rather than a bug.

I didn’t see you do this so I did:

Why is AoE2: DE putting a bunch of files on my SSD C:\ drive instead of my D:\ drive?

@RentableDwarfx brought this up in the Ask for Help section of the forum, but that area gets far less traffic/visibility than this Discussion area, and I think it’s worth discussion and more visibility. The DE AoEs are putting a bunch of files on my C:\ drive which is SSD and has limited space. So far, they’re taking up about 2GB of storage. As do a lot of gamers, I try to reserve my C:\ SSD drive for operating system files only when/where possible. Why are the AoE DEs doing this, and how do I…

@EliteKnighttt

my ssd can’t support this files too

Thought you’d like to see the above discussion

In the end, it seems like the common consensus in that thread is to let the devs store games wherever they want, since C:\Program Files is a protected system folder, and other reasons. Feel free to discuss there rater than here if you want more eyes seeing your reply (as it’s in the Discussion area that has more people looking than here)
