Building new rig & transfer DCS


shastasm

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

 

I will be building a new rig and plan on transferring the existing SSD to the new rig with DCS on it. I will also copy all my save game files. Should I anticipate an issue making DCS work with this process, or should I just install it fresh after my build. This fresh approach seams unnecessary and will eat up my data. Any advice would be welcome.

 

Thanks

Hi all. So I had some issues transferring the SSD to the new rig and DCS communication. Ending up downloading again (yippee 2.5 mb/s).

Well. Good news is by the time it's done downloading the Hind, Apache, Mosquito, F4U-1D, Zero, Essex class aircraft carrier, F-4J, and F-22 will have all been released!

Well, now its probably to late, but what were your issues?

Copy Paste. Fix your Registry. Run a repair on the new directory via updater.exe or SkaZilla's Updater Tool, fix all of your shortcuts and you should be back up...

I recently format my OS SSD and reinstall DCS.

I found out Windows changed my USB devices ID (GUID), so despite saving my profiles, I have to bind them all back from scratch.

Did I make a mistake??

You can load them one by one for every module from the copy.

^ I can confirm. Takes quite a few minutes to do so (you've got to load every single .diff.lua file one by one), but it's still faster than re-assigning everything from scratch.
