Oct 22, 2014 at 23:14 comment added radioharvest When I did this trick with Civ4 (and I have never installed it through Steam before) it only redownloaded couple hundred of megs.
Oct 22, 2014 at 18:47 comment added Slurpee If you never installed the game before on Steam, it won't have the necessary .ACF file, and will redownload the whole game.
Oct 22, 2014 at 15:32 comment added radioharvest Sometimes it displays as it is downloading but it actually is not (just rediscovering the file), so download will finish faster than it should and you're good to go. This bug occured in Steam when I tried this method, though it was some time ago.
