Chappers72 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 New laptop coming tomorrow but still 1 month away from what i've purchased it for. How do I go about getting my current game onto the new laptop? Do I just install the game and then move the saved game file into the relevant folder or is there more to it?

baker.simon Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Make sure your running the same database and patch as your old laptop. Transfer your save on your old laptop to a memory stick or similar but remember the location your taking it from. Then transfer it to your new laptop in the same location as you took it from.

What do you mean the same database? That's the only bit I don't understand. Rest all makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 if you installed any updates or anything, make sure you transfer em across. ALSO>>> theres a file called "hall_of_fame.dat" you'll need to transfer that across too, or your hall of fame wont keep you in )if you made it) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 What do you mean the same database? That's the only bit I don't understand.Rest all makes sense. Only applies if you use a custom databse really. If you use patch 9.3.0, then that will be the databse used. So you'd need to patch FM on your new laptop if you were using the latest patch on your old laptop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers72 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 So just to get his right. 1) Get lovely new laptop. 2) Install FM09 (will I need to activate the game again?) 3) Ensure it is patched up 4) Move saved game to the relevant folder on the new laptop. 5) Come back on here and ask for more help when I cock this up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
