Moving Steam Game?

[AllHokage]

So basically I got a new SSD and wanted to move Arma 3 to it.

 

I made a new steam folder there and moved Arma 3 to it. Then I uninstalled Arma 3 from the old hard-drive. Now It's not picking up the game in the new SSD. Does anyone know how to fix this, as my Arma folder is 75GB and I can't see why I would have to reinstall as I have the full folder downloaded.

Just attempt to install it and it'll see the file if you chose the correct drive

I do that and it just installs normally

Update.

If I play it on my SSD (As non Steam), It works fine. Also steam shows I'm playing the game...

Are you sure it's in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

I use D: as my main and it's not there. I moved it to my new E: SSD and it wont launch from steam.

In Steam did you create the secondary location before you moved the game?

Have steam make a new library on your SSD, download some tiny game so it makes the folders itself, then drop it in the common folder

No, I made it after and moved the game into it.

Well that's where you messed up. Try verifying the game's files.
