Switch game to new computer

[WaywardWarlord]

Hi all - I recently got a new computer and I was wondering how I would download the game onto this new device. Do I have to manually move the files or is there a way to download the game on my new computer, using the email link that was sent to me? 

 

Thanks!

You should be able to just download the game on the new computer by visiting the Client Area at the top of the page. If you have worlds that you want to continue playing or don't want to download mods all over again, you'll need to transfer those files manually. In the case of transferring worlds, bear in mind that the map data is stored in a separate file from the world save itself, though I'm not exactly sure where. In any case, if you miss transferring the map data, you'll still have your waypoints, but will need to explore that portion of the map again to see the actual lay of the land.

Perfect, thank you!
