new computer

[fluffydragon]

i have recently upgraded to a new gaming computer and i can't figure out how to transfer my game over. Do i need to buy a new one?

Assuming you are on Windows and you went with default paths when you installed, you need to copy %AppData%\Roaming\VintagestoryData

Generally %AppData% translates to "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming"

Windows 10 and 11 made it pretty trivial to move your user settings and data over to a new computer, although you will need to be able to network them or have an external drive.

Linux I can't tell you off the top of my head, but there are other Linux users around who can help you.

I think I would do all of %AppData%\Roaming\VintagestoryData\ so you also transfer your savegames and macros.

Ahhhh hell, I missed that when I did the copypasta.

You are correct sir, that is what I meant to say.
