Hello
So, i finally signed up in the forums as it takes time to get detailed answer on reddit
Wanting to migrate from Steam to Standalone Open Beta to get the Supercarrier, but at the same time, not wanting to download the whole thing with the modules again, I searched a bit online, and it was pretty straight forward.
Imported all steam licenses from the profile, they were detected and bound successfully
Copied the files from steam to the install location created by the standalone installer, ran repair, and voila.. it's working
Except for one thing... well, actually two things
There is no purchased modules detected when signed in. It's showing only NTTR. Everything else is locked and saying "Buy"
Double check, yea it's my account alright... I'm logged in. It's showing my name on the top.
Repair asked me to move extra files to a folder called _backup.000 which I did (those files belonged to steam, and include the modules, they're 70gb)
Problem is, no purchases detected. I own nothing.
I never used Standalone before, but i figured from youtube videos, to the top, there is supposed to be a module manager, right next to the sign out and settings buttons, correct?
Well I don't have that... for me, it's like steam
Could that be because i copied everything from Steam? yea, i guess so
I copy everything from the backup folder back to root, and launch run.exe, and it starts... with my purchases... except, it launches through steam now, and no module manager (so not standalone)
Take them away, be standalone, have no purchases detected and asked to buy
So now, what should i delete and repair again to get things sorted without having to download 110gb again as i'm on limited connection and this will cost me the price of a module :)
Ran repair again, it removed said files, installed its own (yay!), but none of my purchases are detected except for Nevada (what?), and still no module manager in the interface
How can i get this to be standalone?
sorry for all that... but truly i can't afford downloading 100gb now and i really want the supercarrier in the presale
Edit: Just got the Supercarrier... as expected, the SU-33 is not there.... none of my purchases are there, nor the module manager
I really really don't want to download everything again lol .... help me please
Edit 3: Got a PM from a kind user... for those looking at the same issue... go into config folder in root directory... and edit the retail.cfg file with notepad. Change from "Steam" to "ED"
It will even detect copy over the modules from steam for you
Thanks a lot
