New PC

basketcase77 · 11-22-2011, 05:58 PM

Hi, I'm getting a new PC this Christmas because the one I have right now is old and slow and I know that I can unlicense TBCB and then move it to my new PC but will that mean that I lose my uni? I hope not as i've been doing this uni for 2 years now.
Any comments/help would be much appreciated!!!
Cheers!!

You should be able to save the files on a flash drive or CD. I believe you get 2 licenses for TB, so before you unlicense the old one, get it set up on you new rig, create a universe with the same name as you are using on your old system.

Then copy the universe files from your flash drive into your saved game folder in the out of the park developments / TBCB 2.5 over the existing saved game from your newly created universe in the documents folder of your new computer. You should be good to go.

Edit: If you need to use a CD you will probably have to zip the files, but that should work as well.

Please tell me you've been regularly saving your uni folder to an external drive, such as a USB.
