Moving profile to new PC

#1 Post by tom4sus » 17 Oct 2021 11:56

Hi,

recently I bought a new PC and I have problem with moving my game profile to it. I copied whole directory to he same location as on old PC (c:\user_name\OneDrive\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2), but when I run game, there is no profile here and I must create new one.

Can you help me restoring old profile?

Thanks, T.

The simplest way is to set the profile to use steam cloud on the old PC and then load it on the new PC.

Aside from what Madkine told you already, if you do it the way you tried initially you need to play the game first and after that replace the new files with the old ones.
From what you're saying I gather that you copied/moved/placed the files before playing the game.

edit just to be sure: of course make sure you have the old files saved in a safe place so they aren't written over by the new install, but I guess if you hadn't it would be too late to mention by now :-) /edit

tbh, i'm not sure if it works that easy when Onedrive is used, i stay away from that like it's the plague :-)

I also changed the computer and had no problems with the four profiles, the game loaded all four profiles without any problems. Most likely you made a mistake in the file / folder locations.

Everything will be okay in the end, and if it`s not okay, it`s not the end.

I figured it out. On the old PC the profile was in c:\user_name\OneDrive\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2, on the new one for some reason in c:\user_name\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2.
The profile is back how.

Thank you guys, happy trucking :-)
