Moving uptades from one pc to another

[KnowYourEnemy]

Hello guys!

I'm new in the forum and in the IL2 world.

I have downloaded and installed the game in one pc and then moved to another one because i don't have a fast internet connection at home.

Everything fine since the last update came. I have installed it on the first pc and than i have pasted and copied the "updates" folder to my other pc but the luncher still asking me to update the game.

Can someone help me?

Sorry for my bad english

Thanks!

Rather just copy paste the whole game install

Hi Dakpilot!
Do you mean the whole game folder?
 

[Dakpilot]

Yep, the whole folder, I keep two instances of BoS installed one with SweetFX and one Vanilla in case one goes wrong after an update. Just make a folder example; (C:)/Games/ BOS/ IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       (C:)Games/ BOSSWFX/ IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad

After updating on the "fast internet machine" check it starts then just copy the whole thing to your home machine, so long as you only try to log in to one at a time should be no issue, keep any install out of "Program Files" to avoid any permission issues that windows 7 and up can cause

Ok i will try later, but there are few things that i don't get it.
I should make 2 copies of the game?
I have copied the whole game folder into C:Programs/
Is it wrong?
And what does it mean " keep any install out of "Program Files" "?
Sorry for my low understanding but my english is not so good 

[Dakpilot]

No need to make two copies was only using as an example that it is possible to simply copy paste entire game.

 

It is not wrong to have it installed in default (c;) Program Files

 

However Win 7 and above like to make things hard for programs that changes get made to when installed there, this is intentional and useful for security,for most programs this is a good thing, however, for games it can make certain files read only which can effect settings and controls to not "stick" so for games "program Files" is not the "ideal" place

 

create another folder in c;/ or any other drive and cut/copypaste or install there
