Andysilent Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hey my laptop is dead and i saved my ET folder. But I'm not sure how to transfer my profile to my old computer it already has ET installed and working. Do i need to change my guide on here og do they also transfer? Thanks for your help.

kYmo Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) you need to move ur etkey and write cfg so u dont lose ur guid/xp and settings ofcourse. i made this mistake last week it is in the my documents folder > etlegacy > etkey. your cfg should be your profile name or autoexec.cfg put it in your new etmain folder and do /exec filename.cfg when in game in console.

RendeL Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 And you need also silent.dat/nitmod.dat from mod folders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Sphalman Posted December 30, 2020 Solution Share Posted December 30, 2020 If you saved whole ET Folder, just copy on the old pc and eventually overwrite files, it works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snuffs99 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 FWIW i and a few others never install ET and just drag and drop the entire folder to desktop etc with a new windows install. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
