Changing hardware

Hi,

I’m installing AO to a new desktop. What should I copy from the old one to get things working with this one too?

You should copy the game folder, and grab your preffs folder to save resetting every characters layout.
The easy way to locate the prefs folder show here.

The character data is not large and should fit on a basic usb stick.
The new system will create a new folder for AO after running the game at least once, place the files and folders from the existing installation into the new one. (similar to what is shown in the video)

Ok, thanks a lot. This saves a lot of trouble.
Haven’t done this for 10 years so I’d kind of forgot what I should do :slight_smile:
