hello,

 

i have a ssd as C drive for my os

and just a normal hard drive for my programs and games, my E drive

 

all the ubisoft games i have installed on my e drive won't run.

i found on a few forums that it was because ubisoft games would only run on the c drive.

 

is there a way to let the games think they run of the c drive, maybe virtualy? because my ssd is to small for my games.

 

thanks in advance

Install Ubisoft on the E drive perhaps? Like when installing it change the install directory to the "e" drive.

Hmm odd. I have all my Uplay games installed on my games drive which isn't my C drive. While Ubisofts software is installed on my C drive. I'd contact them. See what they have to say.

i already contacted them they don't give serious answers, like try to restart your pc.

Well they are first level technicians. Reading from a script. I'll look into it some more.

Here is the solution. Just figured it out and now its working for me. Format the secondary drive as MBR instead of GPT and then install the games. That did it for me. 

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

I found online that MBR supports up to 2 TB and i have a 3TB harddrive,  will this still work and how should i do this, i don't want to lose everything that is already installed?

No. You might need to buy a hard drive that is 2 TB or less
