Cyberweasel89 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Is it possible to transfer Steam and Fallout: New Vegas from one computer to another, such as with a large flash drive or other data storage, or would I have to re-install it due legal restraints?

Fonger Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) steam has no issues with you installing on another computer. Just don't try to log into steam with both computers at the same time - steam gets cranky about this and transferring much of your install via flash drive will save you tons of install time remember to "validate files" afterwords - builds registry entries and lets steam know everything is proper. NOTE - this presumes that YOU are using the game on both computers - and that you use the same steam account for both installs Edited December 13, 2011 by Fonger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberweasel89 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Oh, sorry. Should've clarified. I'm getting a new PC. Need to transfer my game from my old PC to my new one. I won't be using Steam on both PCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberweasel89 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Awesome. Thanks. Um, say... is there a possible way to keep my Fallout: New Vegas files on a flash drive and use them to play on any PC I want? Essentially, New Vegas in travel size? Or do the files have to be located in Program Files to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although... if you can install Windows XP on a flash drive as live-boot (you must have a mighty one to even think about loading FONV there) (I think it's legal if you own WinXP retail), then you can install Fallout there, Steam or no Steam, boot from that drive and play.
