Quick Q/help as this is the first time I've had to back-up my steam folder...
I copied my steamapps before a full re-install, then dropped the steamapps folder back into the newly installed steam folder as per various guidance here/elsewhere.
However - steam does not detect any of these games when I boot the program up and look in my library. My full library says 'not installed'.
WHenever I click on a launcher from within the steamapps directly it prompts me to re-download the game... 100's of gigs.
Have I mucked up here, not using steam back-up (I read that just copying the steamapps folder was a more efficient option).
Can anyone advise on how to get steam to re-registerning my full steamapps folder please?
