So I'm gonna be reformatting my HD soon...
« on: August 26, 2009, 02:30:55 am »
And I don't want to lose my awesome game!  ;;

Is there a way to keep the game/get a new copy for my fresh hard drive?

If you're worried about losing the save files, you can back them up.

If you bought the game through Bit-Blot you can go through Plimus' customer login or PM/email us to get a new download link for the installer, or you can back up the installer that you used initially and save it for future use.

If you bought through Steam/Ambrosia, they have their own re-downloading options.

You could email it to yourself?

And why can't you just create a back a up?

copy the thing to an other disk, maybe along with the preference file?

He'd need another disk for that.

USB sticks are cheap these days.

(re)writable optical discs are  cheaper.

And what sane computer owner doesn't have a back-up plan anyway?

Then you are asking for trouble.
One day, you'll wish you had a back-up.

Nah, the most I'd lose permanently is video game saves. Pictures, music, etc can be restored.
