Go to "C:\Programme\Steep Sound Files\" right click on the sounddata folder and select Pick Link Source, then you go to "H:\Games III\Steep" and right click then select Drop As->Symbolic Link.Make sure that there isn't any sounddata folder in your install folder "H:\Games III\Steep".If you want to use Link Shell Extension I've explained the process step by step in my original post. Hi, you can download little utilities(such as Link Shell Extension) that adds the ability to create symlinks directly from the context menu in windows explorer. TLDR : Ubisoft have done it again, just move the sounddata folder to your C: drive and create a symlink pointing to it in your game installation folder. Hoping that this can help, have fun on the slopes guys ! If you use Link Shell Extension you just have to do "right-click->Pick Link Source" on the sounddata folder you placed somewhere on your C: drive (or any other drive NOT managed by Windows Storage Spaces) and then do "right-click->Drop As->Symbolic link " in your game installation folder. If you are not comfortable creating a symlink via command prompt you can use any software or extension such as Link Shell Extension which adds symlink options to your explorer contextual menu. In order for the game to work, you just have to move the sound files, in this case the "sounddata" folder, to a drive which is not a Windows Storage Space (at least you C: drive, but possibly more drives / partitions) and create a symlink in your game installation folder. Thankfully there is a very simple and quick workaround if you still want to have the game installed on this specific drive (as it was my case because I wanted the game to be installed on my secondary SSD). This bug exists on Ubisoft games since the first AC on PC. That is, the game won't start or will crash when starting up if you have it installed on a drive which is not managed by "Windows Storage Spaces". I've just discovered that Steep is plagued with the bug that all Ubisoft Games using.
