Copy game folder to new PC?

Post by mutti_wilson »

My friend is coming over and he'd like to play PR. My connection is not all that fast so downloading the install over is out of the question if we want to play tonight. Can the game files be copied from my PC to his and he just create a new profile?

You can try of course. But it might not work because of missing registry keys. But can always try.

If your friend has a better connection, he could download it and install it, or bring it on a usb stick or so?

Yes, it works. If launcher does not start, just install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1

Also, it helps to copy "ProjectReality" folder from My Documents too, that's where the profile is located.
