Just got an SSD, wiping old drive

[TheDarkLord 0]

Hey guys

I have just purchased an SSD, I have put windows on it. I have backed up my Arma 2 and OA directory. I purchased CO through steam.

I plan to install Arma CO on my old HDD not on the SSD, I dont really want to loose my character or do another 15gb download.

Any tips?

Thanks

if it works like real steam games, you can make a backup of arma and restore the backup on your other harddrive.

edit: yep, just checked, there should be an option to "backup game files", not sure how this will work out with the mods though.

good luck there.

it's still beyond me why you would want to put your games NOT on your ssd.

your character and stuff is stored server side.

Your character is tied to your key so you won't lo that as for the game if you don't want to reinstall just try creating a junction link, I did

just copy/pasta your steam folder to your new harddrive, run steam and it will pick the games up when you launch them.
