How to save settings and control setup when moving the game?


Recommended Posts

Is there a list of files that I should manually save if I want to move the game to a different drive or event a different PC so that I would not lose my mods, missions, settings, controls setup, etc. I know that some of the files are stored in "Saved Games", but I assume it's not everything?

.. but I assume it's not everything?

 

On my DCS Backups, I save the whole /Saved Games/DCS/ folder tree .. if you want to save space, prior to the backup, delete the fxo and metashaders2 folders .. all the rest is useful: Control Bindings, View settings, Custom Missions & Campaigns, Screenshots, Tracks, Mods, Static Templates, the LogBook (inside /MissionEditor), Liveries ... :)

... There's nothing in the game directory itself that I need to save?

 

 

Well, since you are moving the game folder to another drive or PC, you are already in fact saving it :) ... this way you dont need to download the game again, saving a lot of time.

 

 

You may want to document the DCS desktop icons configuration, so that you may re-create them on the new PC.
