Skyshark Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Question, just bought a new pc. I have SB ver 4.268 with a dongle stick. What would be the best way to move the game to my new pc. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) I'd suggest you do a clean install of 4.268 on the new machine, then: 1. Copy over any map packages you have downloaded (from memory 4.268 is after the map packages came in). 2. Copy over the contents of "C:\Users\username\Documents\eSim Games" to get your mods, AARs, downloaded scenarios, etc. 3. Copy over the contents of "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\eSim Games\Steel Beasts" to get your options, player records, etc. Edited April 25 by Gibsonm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted April 25 Members Share Posted April 25 First, download and install the latest version of the CodeMeter runtime software, 8.0a: https://www.wibu.com/us/support/user/downloads-user-software.html You can then either run the installer for version 4.268, it's still available on the eSim Games Downloads page (https://www.esimgames.com/downloads/ (scroll down a bit)). Or, you install version 4.3 (same page, just further up), but then you'd need to visit the web shop for the "4.3 Upgrade from 4.1" option: https://www.esimgames.com/3165-2/ In any case, after the installation, just plug in the CodeMeter stick and you're basically good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that won't bring over his "personal" stuff from the old PC, assuming he wants to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft "helpfully" hides it, so you need to select "see hidden folders" (or similar) under the file view options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's a question of user account migration, and would apply to documents, music and video collection, etc.; in any case, the User's Manual of Steel Beasts has, in Chapter 2, a boring but essential section about Steel Beasts's file structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyshark Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Download all 7 parts to documents then double click part one to execute or should just go ahead and buy last version 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked how to install 4.268. If you actually have a 4.379 license, you don't need to install 4.268 first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted May 11 Members Share Posted May 11 5 hours ago, Skyshark said: Download all 7 parts to documents then double click part one to execute or should just go ahead and buy last version If you're asking me like that, the only possible answer is: Buy the Upgrade! On a more serious level, you can stay on version 4.268, in which case the installation instructions in the Release Notes for the "manual installation" procedure apply. The convenient Bundle Installer is available only for the latest version. If you want to go for the upgrade, a decision which selfish and greedy me fully supports, be sure to pick the right upgrade license for your case. For that I recommend downloading and installing the latest CodeMeter runtime software first (find it here) - in fact, you should do that in any case. Then check out this thread below to find out which licenses are installed on your CM stick; If it's a version 4.1, go ahead and pick the cheapest upgrade available, "4.3 Upgrade from 4.1": 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyshark Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Gibsonm, no I have the 4.268 version. I was saying at first it would not upload but got it now. I was saying may just go ahead and buy the 4.379...Thanks for all the help... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
