Macross Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I just finished downloading DCS 2.0, NTTR and modules. Took about 48 hours in total. My rig is in its death throws and need to rebuild my machine. I have new hardware and want to know if I can move all the game files to new PC and not have to download ~50'ish GB again. Is it just a case of copying the "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha" folder and running the updater again? Ive done a quick search and couldn't find any specific info... Sorry if this is posted elsewhere but im living on borrowed time on the old system and would hate to have to download again. Cheers guys! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
DarkFire Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 In theory it should work - as part of the download process the DCS updater usually looks for files that have already been downloaded. Whether or not doing it this way would successfully create all the necessary registry entries, file associations etc. is of course another matter. Possibly doing a "repair DCS world" run after the copying & downloading might do that for you...?
