Copying Warframe files from another PC (steam)

[Bahamus]

Hello,

does anyone here know the proper way of transferring the game files (I use the Steam version) from a PC to another, without having the launcher starting a big update?

I have extremely limited internet, so I cannot afford downloading anything bigger that 1GB.

I checked around but I'm not sure if those methods are up to date.

Thank you

I do this often enough.  So copy everything in Steam>steamapps>common>Warframe as well as appmanifest_230410.acf which is under Steam>steamapps.  That manifest is essential, and if you don't transfer that file, Steam will force you to redownload the entire game.

Won't Steam backup work? I don't use Steam for WF but I've used this to transfer other games.
