Move Panzer Corps from one PC to another

Post by Jpvolle »

Hi all,

I have a new computer, and I will like to play Panzer Corps/Africa Corps and the DLCs at my new computer.
I have tried to move all folders and files from my old PC to my new via a extern hard disk. But I cannot get it to work.

Can anyone tell me, an easy way to the games to work on a new computer?
I have bought the game online as a download, but the links on the e-mails does not work anymore.

Thanks for any help.

You can not just copy the game folders to another destination and expect them to work. You are missing the proper registry entries and possibly some libraries that are set/installed during the installation.

The best way would be to write an email to support[at]slitherine.co.uk, supply as many order details (like serial code, email used for the purchase, date of purchase) as you remember to make the work for the support easier thus faster and request new download links. Then just download the installer again and install the game on your new computer.

You can manually copy the save games and the settings from your old computer to the new one. On Windows 7 they are located by default under "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\my games\Panzer Corps". On different windows version the path may differ slightly but you got the idea where to look for it. Just copy the whole folder and you're done.

Make sure to backup the installers after you re-downloaded them to an external disk drive, USB stick or a cloud of your choice so you have them available for the next time when the need to reinstall arise.

Again I suggest to use the Steam version, it is the easiest way to install the game to a new computer or another similar situation.

It may be but then you are stuck with Steam. Some people love it, some people hate it.
