Back up/Reinstallation

Unread postby aksingha » Fri Jan 09, 2015 7:59 am

Hi,
I am going to get a new computer next week and will be playing/modelling for TS2015 on the new computer. My question is, will i have to redownload TS2015 again using steam or can i just copy-paste the folder into the new machine.

Either one will work.

Thank you, but which folder Railworks or Steam, bacause when i install steam in my new pc the steam files will get downloaded. but maybe there are other smaller files of TS somewhere in the steam folder.

The last time I did this I just moved the entire Steam folder from my old computer to the new one. Since it was from the same internet address Steam was undisturbed.

When I got a new machine, I just copied the Railworks folder after installing Steam.

If you want all of the Steam games that you have installed on your old machine installed on your new one, copy the Steam folder. If all you want is TS, copy the Railworks folder.
