What game files to back up before installing new update?

[KPnutskgwanchos]

Hi all

 

Just that really .... if I want to ensure all my progress / key bindings / tracks etc are backed up before installing a new update what folders/files should that be please.

 

Especially if it may mean that I need to totally reinstall the game ..... in that worst case scenario what should I ensure is backed up 

 

Many thanks

DATA folder:

startup.cfg, input folder, swf usersaves folder, luascripts if you edited fixcameras. maybe career?

Many thanks ....  just to check so are you saying just to back up the entire DATA folder and everything I need to save is inside it?

 

So in the scenario where I have to reinstall the game I would just copy the contents of my backup DATA folder into the reinstalled DATA folder and all my personalised stuff is added to the fresh install?

 

Sorry to be a pain but just wanted to be sure I understood ?

NOOOOOO, the files are INSIDE the data folder ! The rest will be updated by the launcher ...

first backup these, run the update, mark the files above maybe as OLD, and copy the backed up stuff back in ...
