Broke down and bought game, Also question....

Well i haven't started playing yet, But would like to know why the game does auto install to appdata folder and why i can't choose where to install it? I like to have my games that are not steam games in p: Games. So my games in one of 2 places. And on 2nd hard drive, space thin on first hard drive.

I concur whole-heartedly. Personally I avoid installing programs other than the OS on my "system" drive.

This has bugged me too since getting this game.
I put all my data on one drive, my games on another drive and backups on a third drive. If I can avoid it, then my primary C:\ drive is left only for the operating system and any files that absolutely have to be there.

I personally don't consider Cap lab as being necessary to be strictly enforced on where it needs to be installed and I really believe they need to change this. Unfortunately, I'm really kind of doubtful that anything along these lines will change as the game really isn't relative to today's gaming market, it still feels antiquated much of the game anyway and I'm doubtful that it will support itself enough to make any big changes to it at this point.

Really it just bugs the hell out of me when I don't have options to change things, like some games that used to want to save into the appdata folders. Which means that when I refresh my computer like I tend to do every 3 to 6 months, those saves are lost as it's not likely that I would even remember that they were not saved on my gaming HDD.

They really should change this but as I said, doubtful that they'd want to spend money to do it at this point after all the "enhanced" version has been out for a couple of years now and that enhanced what was already a very old game.

It's interesting that players can tolerant steam games all bogged up inside one folder, but complain about other games put into appdata folder. I guess the "option" of choice is more or less important for hard core gamers.

BTW, the save files for Captalism lab are not in appdata, it's inside your my documents folder, and you can assign it to wherever drive you like.

The thing with.steam is that I can choose where to put the steam folder as well as have a steam folder on every HDD If I so choose to do so.
For me it's nice to have all my steam games under the Steam folder, which is quite similar to my Games hard drive that has:

E:\Games
E:\Games\Steam\
E:\Games\GameNames

Where GameNames means theres an individual folder for each game, so really it's exactly like Steam.

Yep, Steam asks me where to install every game.

Everybody knows the E Drive is for games.



Why haven't I deleted Ampu-Tea yet? Yuck!
