Reinstalling Arma 3 for a different drive (how to save data)
bardosy posted a topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
I'm prepareing for Tac-Ops DLC, so I bought an SSD drive for arma3. I want to reinstall the game to this new drive. My basic plan is easy: uninstall arma3 by Steam client and install arma3 by Steam client on the new drive. But arma3 has a lot of config and setting and save and init file all over my PC. And I don't want to lose data. 1. I didn't change windows settings, so My Documents and AppLow folders stay on the original drive. 2. When I uninstall arma 3 by steam client, is it delete the saves at My Documents? Do I need to make a backup before uninstall? 3. When I uninstall arma 3 by steam client, is it delete the graphical settings and the custom keybindings? Do I need to make a backup before uninstall? (if yes, where are those files?) 4. When I uninstall arma 3 by steam client, is it delete the launcher defaults (eg, how many core in my CPU, how many RAM I want to add the exe)? Do I need to make a backup before uninstall? (if yes, where are those files?) 5. When I uninstall arma 3 by steam client, is it delete the mods (both workshop and 3rd party downloads)? If I made a backup, workshop will recognize those and not start to redownload the huge ones? 6. What I forgot to backup? What I will lose if I reinstall? Please help me in this!
