I've reached a very important step in a game.
My computer wont support smooth games anymore so i bought a new one.
How can i transfer all the game (or just saved games and related info) to conclude the battle onto the new pc ?
Can you remind me if i must apply patch 1.1 to MTW prior to installing Viking expansion or after ?
Thanks !
Welcome to the Org Terzo :balloon2:
I think that the files you need are in the MTW folder 'savegames'.
And don't install 1.1 after you load VI; install 2.01 to VI.

As Ichi says, you need to copy the files in the "SaveGames" subfolder under your M-TW installation. However, if you've been playing v1.0, and want to continue those old campaigns, DON'T install VI - the saved games won't work with the update. You can, however, install another copy of M-TW to a different location on your hard drive, and update it - starting new campaigns, of course.Quote:

Hopefully you don't have a nvidia video card in the new machine because in that case you are in for a "quest for the right version driver"
Don't erase anything on the old machine until everything is fine on the new!!! If I were you I'd even burn the whole directory of MTW to a DVD (or at least the savegames to a CD) I assume you did not use any mod, did you?
Do you have a USB Data Link Cable?
Look here www.TheGadgetStore.com
This will allow you to connect two pc's with a usb connection to copy your files over to the new pc.
Happy hunting

Thank you very much to all of you !
Or there again, you could use a USB Flash Drive to copy your files over.
Small in size but very effective. 128MB 256MB or 1Gig
