installing on another computer

[athlon700]

this I'm sure was asked before but I can't find it. how do you install railworks on another computer? I bought a new computer and I want to move it from my old one to my new one

Railworks is linked to your Steam Account not to your Computer, so just install Steam and log in with your account, then you will be able to play all your steam-related games, after steam has downloaded the necessary gamefiles.

If downloading the whole thing would take you too long or if you have many 3rd party addons another method might be more useful for you:

- backup your RW folder in (default path) c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\ to an external harddrive
- install Steam client on your new pc but do not start it
- copy the backed up folder into the directory (you may have to create it)
- start Steam and login to your account and hopefully you can start RW right away, if not verify the files through Steam (right click on RW -> properties -> local files tab -> verify game cache button)

another useful advice: write down your Steam username and password

Just copy the whole Steam folder to the new computer. You have to be offline on one of the computers to run the program.
