You can do the same with the Steam version, although the install locations are obviously going to be different. You'll be ready to go in 15 minutes, less if you have installed the game to an SSD. Instead of downloading the files again (which can be painfully slow,) the launcher will download a much smaller manifest file and validate the game files. Launch the launcher, log in and install the versions you had installed on your old machine. Keep a note of where you install it if you choose a custom directory. If you leave everything alone, it should be the same as the location on the old PC. DON'T INSTALL THE GAME THROUGH THE LAUNCHER.Ĭopy the directory back over to the new location. The default install location on a non-Steam version should be something like C:\Program Files\Frontier\.ĭownload the launcher and install it on your new PC. Grab an external hard drive (or a USB flash drive of 16GB or more) and copy the game files from the install location to it.
