    How to run FFXIV on a SSD?

    I assumed to get it to run it'd be a simple drag and drop, but I was looking thru my NVIDIA GeForce Experience, and apparently I have FFXIV on my HDD, and my SSD. I'm not even sure which one it's running on this point.

    I want to get it to run on an SSD, for faster load times as sometimes loading into Limsa, Ul'dah, or Gridania can take up to a minute or three...

    copy-pasting an installed program is usually a bad idea, or at the very least more trouble than it's worth. Unless you have bad internet, I'd simply uninstall it, then reinstall it on your SSD.

    I have about a 70 download speed, but even with that FFXIV took me an hour or two to download...

    Can you start it going just before you turn in for the night, so it will download overnight?

    just copy paste it from the C/progamms or wherever you got it, i did the same with mine. The whole SE folder and done. All user related stuff is in My documents. Just make sure to starte the ffxivboot.exe from the ssd.

    I did the same and it did work without any trouble^^

    Thank you for posting in the Final fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

    Kesisaru, please try uninstalling the game from both hard drives and then reinstalling it on the SSD. If you are experiencing a slow download, please try connecting directly to the router.


    Hope to see you online!
