View Full Version : FOF 2004 Re-Install Question

All right. My hard drive died a few weeks back. I am trying to restore my FOF game. I was able to copy almost all of my files to a CD prior to the hard drive dying (it held on as long as it could).

So I copied my FOF folder onto a CD, put it back on the new hard drive, and tried to get the game going. I put in the license and ID then got an error message saying that "Front Office Football was not properly installed" and it wouldn't run.

So, I decided to download the game again and re-install it. I think this should work. My question: Is it possible to copy files over to the newly installed game in order to continue my current career? If so, which files do I need to copy?

I reckon this has been addressed in other threads. Just don't have the energy to search 'em.

Thanks.

Is this what you mean?

How do I transfer a saved game from one computer to another?

You need to take all the files from the "universe" directory of one installation, and place them in the "universe" directory of the second installation.

This will overwrite all the saved games from the second installation, so you should back these up first.

Do not replace the universe directory itself. This will force you to reinstall the game.

If you're saving box scores and game logs, you do not need to transfer these files (*.flg and *.fbx).

Perfect! Thanks, Yab.
