Playing "Dead Man's Switch" in "Shadowrun: Dragonfall"

The guide explains which files and folders you need to copy to play the "Dead Man's Switch"-campaign from "Shadowrun Returns" in "Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Directors Cut"

Copy files and folders.

If you own a copy of "Shadowrun Returns", you can play "Dead Man's Switch" in "Shadowrun: Dragonfall".

You just need to replace

/Steam/SteamApps/common/Shadowrun Dragonfall Director's Cut/Dragonfall_Data/StreamingAssets/ContentPacks/dead_man_switch/project.cpack.bytes

with

/Steam/SteamApps/common/Shadowrun Returns/Shadowrun_Data/StreamingAssets/ContentPacks/dead_man_switch/project.cpack.bytes

and copy the two missing folders maps and scenes from

/Steam/SteamApps/common/Shadowrun Returns/Shadowrun_Data/StreamingAssets/ContentPacks/dead_man_switch/data/

to

/Steam/SteamApps/common/Shadowrun Dragonfall Director's Cut/Dragonfall_Data/StreamingAssets/ContentPacks/dead_man_switch/data

Now, if you start a new campaign, you can chose between Dragonfall and Dead Man's Switch.

Have fun

For the record, it works for me on Win 10 x 64. Fast and easy.

Thanks to you muunleit, I am so happy to be able to play the "Dead Man's Switch" with the Dragonfall interface. Many thanks. Much appreciated! Awarded several times!

Nevermind. I got past the bug by dump-shocking Marie-Louise.

[GhostOfOderus]

Does this fix the "Defend Marie-Louise" bug?

Would it work to import Returns campaign and Dragonfall into Hong Kong?

I just played through the opening battle using the copying method, and everything worked as expected. Thanks for the guide, muunleit.

I used Animus Yosho's method, making a Window PowerShell script, it seems to be working. Dead Man's Switch Campaign starts, the vid-phone is working and the flashback scene begins.

Thanks Yosho

Try this script for possibly simpler installation and ironing out other issues.
<# Preqrequisites:
You must own and have installed both Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Dragonfall Director's Cut on steam.

Instructions:
Either create a system environment variable called steamapps containing the path to your steamapps directory or
replace it inside the quotes on the line below, then run the script as administrator.
#>

#Example:
# $SteamappsDirectory = "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\"
$SteamappsDirectory = "$Env:steamapps"

Copy-Item -Path "$SteamappsDirectory/common/Shadowrun Returns/Shadowrun_Data/StreamingAssets/ContentPacks/dead_man_switch/" `
-Destination "$SteamappsDirectory/common/Shadowrun Dragonfall Director's Cut/Dragonfall_Data/StreamingAssets/ContentPacks/" `
-Recurse -Force

Sorry, it's been some years since I wrote this. Maybe some things have changed in between

I have the same problem as Randall_Linux. The level starts, and then nothing happens.
