#3589747 - 06/11/12 03:41 AM transferring ROF to a new computer
mugwump Member Registered: 07/30/06 Posts: 280 Loc: Vancouver, Canuckistan	I just ordered a new PC and I've got a question about transferring the game over. I bought my base version of ROF from Direct2Drive. They were bought out by GameFly and when that happened, GameFly lost the rights to distribute a lot of games (like ROF). I've got the installation program saved to my HD, but the phone home activation code doesn't work anymore so my question is, how do I transfer ROF to my new PC? I've got most of the planes purchased as well as a campaign. Will I be able to simply download the F2P version of ROF and still have access to my planes and campaign?

All your activation details are held on the master server So it doesn't matter were the install comes from, as long as you log in you'll get everything you should have _________________________ EAF92_Brigstock ---------------- Do you want to fly as part of a Squadron PM me or vist the sites below. 92 Squadron European Airforce

mugwump Member Registered: 07/30/06 Posts: 280 Loc: Vancouver, Canuckistan	The problem I have is that I can't install the version of the game I bought as it uses an activation key and a phone home system. It tries to contact Direct2Drive to authenticate but seeing as how D2D no longer exists, the process fails. Can I use the F2P version to access my stuff from the master server and, if so, will there be an issue as my version came with 4 planes while I understand that the F2P version offers 2.

It doesn't matter what version you install as long as it's patched to current. once you log in it'll give you access to your planes and campaigns. Which are stored in your master account. _________________________ EAF92_Brigstock ---------------- Do you want to fly as part of a Squadron PM me or vist the sites below. 92 Squadron European Airforce

Dart Just upgraded from intern Veteran Registered: 09/02/01 Posts: 16602 Loc: Alabaster, AL USA	Do the control profiles transfer over as well? I would think one would have to put them on a thumb drive and transfer them... _________________________ The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

Brigstock Senior Member Registered: 12/30/00 Posts: 2626 Loc: London, England	You're right Dart,input profiles are local and need to be backed up if you move PC and want to keep them. _________________________ EAF92_Brigstock ---------------- Do you want to fly as part of a Squadron PM me or vist the sites below. 92 Squadron European Airforce

JonnyD C/S Brixmis Member Registered: 09/06/07 Posts: 946 Loc: The Fens, UK	Can't he just copy the entire folder over? That's what I do when I reinstall windows - copy the entire game folder to an external drive, copy it back when Windows is installed and off we go. Simplicity. _________________________ I say it as I see it
