Hard copy of GCII

December 8, 2012 2:15:11 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

If I want to make a hard copy of GCII, can I copy the entire file into a flashdrive?  In case of an emergency, will that work?  Will the game be playable by copying it from the hard drive back to a computer?  Thanks.

If you have GC2 Ultimate Edition you can simply keep the installer from the Stardock Store. For the older versions, you *may* be able to manually back it up that way (we don't support it) but you'd need to get the registry entries also and you'd need to reactivate if you were using a different machine or had reformatted since you originally installed.

I'd want to get an archive file of some sort myself.  The game has some bugs, and I'd like to reinstall the game without having to spend hours waiting for the download.  I don't have that kind of bandwidth anymore.

 

So far, I've made a backup file of the game folder, and it seems to work.  I'm not happy doing things that way.
