Transfer unreal to new pc

[hellfire]

Hi guys,

Need some help

I want to transfer my unreal from old to new pc since I have some characters saved in another server. I seem to have lost the CD /file from where I had installed the game since it was years back.

So, now I have a working pc with game in it and a new one. Any clue how I can transfer the game into my new one WITHOUT attaching the drive to the new one since no slots left

Best Regards,

Share the hard drive from the old PC and map network drive on new PC - copy files over. Copy the entire UT2004 directory

Use "UT2004 Registry Fixer" to set up the registry entry for your CD key (possibly from here)- that will let you easily find and see your cd key on your old PC and also set it up on your new one.

Hey

Thanks for the links. I sort of had reached the mapping part as an option when I was trying myself. Was stuck with exactly the steps you mentioned

Will give it a shot when I find the time. (Tough work week) Playing in old pc is a pain in the ass since my old laptop display is busted and I have to look right to play This is since November I am playing like this!

Will update u in a few days

Thanks and best Regards,

Fuck work lol..I did what you said and found the key (Million thanks as u saved a level 200+ character )

Now, just to clarify, I copy all the ut directory to new pc. Then, I install your software in the new pc  and restore the registry after putting in the old key in your software I suppose? Or do I need to plug the key into the game somewhere?

Thanks a lot

Yes, copy the entire ut2004 folder, then plug the new location into the reg fixer on the new machine - together with version and key from the old machine

Hi,

Can you please let me know how to overcome this error everytime I run the fixer. https://prnt.sc/m6ftqb

You think anti-virus or firewall? New pc and don't want to poke anything as lot of work with deadlines

Run as admin is my logical thought but only if you vouch for the code

Thanks a lot for the guide the link and for helping me get back to my new pc

I think you may to right click the app and run the executable as administrator for it to be able to write to the registry.

I can't vouch for the code - but I've been using a copy of it for years with no issue.

Your alternative is to manually insert the entries using regedit or use a script to do so - see https://www.regfiles.net/registry/unreal-tournament-2004-registry

Yay! Which route did you take to get the registry entries in?

[hellfire]

The editor which you had linked Thanks a ton

Just a quick question, is it safe to play online from old laptop as long as I am offline from the new one?

I don't want key conflicts etc. Btw, I am getting copy of sales

Best,

I think it's not a problem. We see multiple concurrent connections from the same key with no issues. Obviously it's best to have a distinct legit key on each copy.

As an example, see this: http://punter.vengefulllama.com/status/traq_result.php?GUID=71d5bc2350a20816a36b2cd2c7ee76ec

Thanks I will now have anyway an extra key after buying from steam. I am going to install steam and steam games in a separate account in the laptop to prevent any conflicts
