    Steam and non-Steam clients on same machine

    I have two separate SE accounts. One of them is linked to Steam, and the other is a non-Steam account. (This message is entered from the non-Steam SE account.) The purchases for the non-Steam account were made without using Steam at all. The purchases for the Steam account were made with Steam.

    It all works correctly, but it means I have TWO Copies of the FFXIV client installed on the PC. One in the normal location for a non-Steam install, and the other under the Steam installation.

    Is there any way I can make it so that have just one copy of the client installed, and use it to access the Non-Steam account when started directly from Windows, and access the Steam account when started thru Steam?

    Or am I stuck with having two copies of the client at over 60 gig each installed on my PC?

    So you are one of those people with alt accounts, buying up all the housing.

    Are you still going around random places posting this? Please consider finding a different way to occupy your time.

    I believe you can run the client from the folder where steam installed it to get non-steam version, but I'm not positive
