Migration Dcs World

[last1976]

Hi,

 

tomorrow my new Pc is delivered to me, as much as I am exited, due to my low bandwidth im not looking forward to download another 80 GB of DCS 1.5 and DCS 2.0 Alpha.

 

Is it possible to copy the files over and do a new install where the updater finds (searching for already downloaded files) the saved files ?

 

I hope you guys know what I mean, I would appreciate some answers.

This is working automatically. My 2.0 used around 95% of the 1.5 files, and only downloaded the rest. Launcher is doing this anyway.

As on a complete new system there is no 1.5 available respectively installed I have my doubts on your theory.

Yes, you should be able to copy and paste the files over and have it be ok.

 

Worst comes to worst, start a fresh install on your new machine, cancel it once it starts downloading, then paste the files in.

 

Then you can run Update -update or update-repair and it'll only download/update what it needs to.

I had/still have 3 installs.

I managed to migrate my \Config\Input files across both from 1.2 to 1.5b and from 1.5b to 2.0a with no adjustments

The modules files I copied across to the relevant Mod folders but they wouldn't work until I went to Cmd: and ran DCS_Updater.exe Install *Mod Name* for each Module in the relevant \bin folder.

When I did that, the Updater recognised my existing files and only downloaded/torrented the new files it needed to finish the job.

YES this would be simple with the hard drive out of the computer or transfering them to an external drive or USB stick. also config is stored in C:USERS:savedgames there will be A DCS folders for each of your games linked to the games via the dcs_variant file in your main dcs folder.

 

when you coppy these folders over i would imagine you could run the command prompt in the bin folder of the respected installs and repair.
