I have two installs of ClOD on two different drives. For some reason steam goes to the install on my auxillary drive rather than my C: drive. How can I change the pathway steam uses to access the game so that it uses the install on the C: drive?

In the main Steam GUI, bottom left, there is a button to "+ Add a game". You may be able to add it from there. Since the product is active - it sees the CLoD install after all - I would try the "Non-Steam Game". No harm, no foul, right? Use a new, renamed shortcut.

If you make a new desktop shortcut from the launchers themselves - which I assume you have - make sure the pointer is going to the .exe location you want. Without doing two installs I can't test it for you, but Steam shouldn't care. One thing that may hang it up is if Steam keeps a local list that it checks for duplicate names and .exe details (gameid#), rather than just an .exe location. If you don't want shortcuts on your desktop - you want them all in the Steam GUI - just put the shortcut in the folder with the .exe, or another folder - shortcuts don't care :).

*I only have the one install, so when I try it - even on a renamed shortcut - Steam sees it as a duplicate and just uses the shortcut I have now. This makes sense since the pointer has to go to an .exe, and there is only one available at that gameid location.

Try it and see.
