Transfer Campaign to New Computer?
 
Hi guys!! I got a new PC back in November, and have slowly been migrating everything over to it. But I would like to know if I can take all my progress from my campaign, copy the files and/or folders to a flash drive, and paste them into the new installation on my new PC? The mods won't be a problem, as I can go to JSGME and see which ones I have, but I don't want to lose all my progress. Thanks!!

In order to do a complete transfer you must:

- install the game the SAME way on your new computer, same mods, possibly same folders (with other folders you would have to change all pathes in the backup save files).

- Save and replace all the savegames of SH5 maintaining all install pathes.

Then, you must reset the Game and Campaign Options so that these files are written again, a new computer means: the new settings must fit.
After all this you should be able to use your old saves. If you are able to start a new campaign and it works but your old saves don't work you will know that you didn't do a 1:1 install and that's the reason of non-functionning.

hi Guys
Logical thinking going on here.
Post #52 Career History CFG File Why You Need To Make A Copy Of It

Make a copy of your SH5 saved games folder.
Install a fresh copy of SH5 on your new PC.

Run your applications as administrators.

Run your game in offline mode so it takes your saved game from your SH5 saved game folder.

Open your old saved games folder and copy and paste the 3 files into your new one.
Your saved games should now be in "Load Game"
