New hardware reinstall?

Recommended Posts

So further to my other issues, i had to buy a new mobo, cpu and ram, all my drives are differently identified now. if i wipe the drives and reinstall dcs in full, will all my modules and maps be reacquired or will i have to authenticate all from scratch, some modules have activation keys and the newer purchases dont. its not steam version its beta and i would like beta back.

 

would a repair work just as well?

 

thanks

Activation keys are no longer needed with dcs, you only need to remember your username and password, so you can reinstall the sim if you want and no keys will be needed.

yes, and it would save a lot of download time. But remember to keep your /saved games/dcs.openbeta/ folder, as it contains your configuration, logbook, campaign status, etc. 
 

If you reinstall windows, you will probably need to backup/restore your hotas control bindings.
