How to copy ARMA 3 user data to a new PC?

[Andrew Kok]

HI all, I have got a new PC and successful installed the steam launcher and I copied the game files over to the new PC and the game run and all is great, ecept all my save mission editor work did not copy across and my saved games for the Campaign did not copy across.

The only files I copied across are from the program files (86)/steam/steamapps/common folder.

Where might I find all the other content and user data to copy across to the new PC?

Thanks in advance.

and

Documents/Arma 3 - other profiles

I figured it out. I was not in my previous profile and was in a new profile. Thanks anyway.

Hi, I'm having trouble with my saved games too.

- I've transferred arma 3 to a new computer by doing backup/restore through steam.
- Copied my previous profile and saved games (documents/arma 3 folder) to the same location on the new pc.

On booting the game (through launcher) it just creates a new profile every time, obviously not reading the data in the right place. It does however create the new profile in the same folder!

For information I was on a win 8 laptop and the new PC is on win 7.

All help appreciated!

Got it : i had the profile/saves in /documents/arma3 which i thought would be fine but wasn't working.

Cut/pasted my profile/saves into the new profile that was created by the game in /documents/arma3-otherprofiles (with same name as old profile)

Need to copy your entire folder with your profile name into Documents/Arma 3 - Other Profiles , create the folder if its not there or make a new profile in arma 3 and it will be created.

Would i copy my other profiles thing onto an external hard drive, plug it into my new computer, and re paste it into my documents/arma 3 thing?

I think that mods can close this thread.
