Transfering saves from one PC to another?

What files and folders would I need to copy if I wanted to continue a game in progress on a different computer?

After installing OOTP ON THE NEW CPU you would want to copy the entire XXX.lg folder to the new OOTP directory.

Use 7zip and it makes one file out of many. Helps speed up things

Where is the *.lg folder at in a Steam installation by default?

In Settings on the Troubleshooting tab hit Open folder containing saved games and it should open the location of the league folders.

yeah I would go past recommending zip/unzip and saying it is almost a requirement. so many files it will be literally 100x faster especially in leagues you have had awhile or have many mods.

i just put my folders on an external HD then moved them to the new PC. zipping would have been faster in hindsight, but this way worked quite well for my install.
