How do I change the download location?

GameHouse Forums > Support

I have been searching for a long time trying to find out how to change the download location for my games! Does anyone know if this is possible, and how to do it?

Hi VividRose

You might have to contact customer support- the only way I know how to change the location where your games are installed is to uninstall the gamehouse game download manager - when that gets reinstalled it allows you to specify the directory to install games.

If there is an easier way I also would like to know.

If you're a bit technical, or know someone whom is do the following

Start -> Run
regedit.exe

Browse to:

-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-SOFTWARE
-Classes
-SOFTWARE
-Gamehouse
-2.0
-Preferences
and edit the key named: GamesRoot to the new desired path

I tried Hadrichem's suggestion, but can't find the Game House installer on the list which appeared. From what I've seen it isn't a permanent feature.
I don't want games to install to my C: drive. I have a nice 2nd drive with plenty of free space but the GH installer insists on dumping games onto the C: drive.
I tried to send an email using the form on the Game House site but got "error on page". I've tried in IE9, Chrome, Safari, Opera and FF. I don't have a chat option either, even though it's within the call centre hours - just a phone number (I'm in the UK!) and this email form which doesn't work.
