How Can?

[Wiydan]

I just reinstalled win 8 and i have my warframe folder in other drive, is there any way to play again without downloading again the whole game? if not, why I must do the next time to save this step?

 

thanks for your help.

I dont know "why" you must do that step but first of all, try it yourself before asking. If it doesn't work then you will see it.

Ok... I'm not sure what your asking, but what I'm understanding is that you have to open warframe by using the application in warframe folder.

 

Assuming this is your problem.

You can right click the the application and chose to pin it to the start or taskbar.

in theory if you ask steam to download, then abort, close steam, then copy the files over, then open steam again and ask for a file check for the game you should be oK.

Except that Steam's filecheck will revert the game to a pervious version, not sure which one it is but its never up to date. Ive used the file check to fix client bugs before and it always results in a re-DL and install (even right after U10 so its not syncing each major patch)

 

Your better bet is to install normally but DONT launch, then overwrite the files before launching it, so it doesnt have to download updates. Dont think theres a way to circumvent the base install.

For the next time, ask Steam to make a backup copy of the game (and then reload the backup in the new Steam). It's possible to do that from Settings.

The Warframe Launcher has its own download verifier. Under settings. If you can get that to open then use that.

fixed (no steam)

 

1-download warframe installer and stop install after primary files were created.

2-copy my backup files in the new created folder and overwrite  

3-launch the game

4-play

 

thanks for your replies...
