USAFMTL Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Are there any issues for transferring my DCS from my old computer to my new computer I should know about? Is there anything in general I need to know? Thank you in advance. [sigpic][/sigpic] US Air Force Retired, 1C371 No rank or title will ever be as important as the unit patch you wear.
Svsmokey Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Firstly , you can install another version of DCS world on a second computer as it is free anyway . My understanding is that you have to uninstall paid modules using the module manager , which will allow you to then reinstall them on the new computer . Hope you remember your login ! You may also wish to transfer control bindings via usb stick . I would advise taking all of this with a grain of salt as i have never done any of this ! :) BTW , lucky you , as the W-P museum is awesome ! Never dreamed I'd see a B-10....

Not a HUGE deal, honestly, but it's a piece of mind for some. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1

Svsmokey Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Whoa , almost forgot . If you have older modules , be sure to note key numbers . Different authorisation system . ....and you might cosider saving your entire saved games folder on a usb stick . That will save logs , missions , etc as well as control binds . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2

I have backed everything up to my 4TB external drive, just in case. But in a way I might start from scratch when I get the F-14...

Update the shortcuts on your desktop and you're all set. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
Svsmokey Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Personally , i would update Win 7 to Win 10 on the 240gb drive , and re-install DCS on the new SSD . Some will tell you that you can copy DCS to the new drive , and that is true-I have done so . But it creates problems in the windows registry with updates . Should Bitmaster or some other computer guru advise another method , and you are confident enough in your abilities to follow through , by all means do so . But my method will get you there , if more slowly .

Update the shortcuts on your desktop and you're all set. I see i have been sniped ! I otherwise would not have replied as i recognize your computer skills as greater than mine . The reasoning behind my expressed method is because when updating , DCS would always refer to the "old" drive when updating , rather than the "new" installation . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2

hansangb Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 I see i have been sniped ! I otherwise would not have replied as i recognize your computer skills as greater than mine . The reasoning behind my expressed method is because when updating , DCS would always refer to the "old" drive when updating , rather than the "new" installation . It certainly is a safer way. But I've done the "copy DCS over" a few times and never had any issues. As far as I remember, the registry had the licensing and not file related. But your advice is certainly as valid as any other! hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
