“Failed to add new steam library folder must be writable” error

If you face this error, it shows that Steam fails to write on the disk drive, where you try to create the new Steam library folder. Many users experienced that it can cause Steam not having sufficient permission to do so.

Here are the steps to fix the error:

  • Run the Steam as administrator, enabling it to write on the disk drive.
  • Make sure they are not set to Read-only mode.
  • Now on the drive’s root directory, create a new Steam Library folder, like, D:\SteamLibrary instead of D:\Program Files\SteamLibrary.

Most users experienced this error showing a faulty or lousy hierarchy of folders already existing in the Steam library folders.

If there is on drive or directory where you try to create a new Steam library, a Steam Library folder already exists. Then try to build a new Steam library on a separate folder on the exact location like D:\games\SteamLibrary.

If you face the error while installing the game on an existing Steam library, create a new steam library in a different folder on the same drive.

Now install the game on the new steam library you have recently created. In the library, make the proper hierarchy of folders. Once done, move all the steam games from the new library to the old library.
