I installed a new SSD, to use for my operating system. I also want to have my mx simulator on it, because it is faster. I copy pasted the game folder and deleted it on the old harddrive. The game works, and my reg-key works. But the tracks, bikes and gear I install does not show up in game.
Can this be because the game does`nt recognize the personal folder or something, because I did not use the installer?
I dont have the installer, becasue I did not use my own e-mail back in the day when i bought the game. Thanks.
Personal folder not working on new harddrive
Re: Personal folder not working on new harddrive
Your personal folder is still located on your OS drive (C on Windows) regardless of where you install the game. You can use a symlink if you want to keep your files on a different drive or in a different location. I don't think there's a cleaner way to do it.

Re: Personal folder not working on new harddrive
I read your post too fast and didn't realize that you had simply copied over the files. My guess is that you still need to point your personal folder toward the original personal folder location on your C drive.

Re: Personal folder not working on new harddrive
The game looks in two folders:
1. The folder the exe is in, usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\MX Simulator" but can be anywhere. (The install folder.)
2. "%localappdata%\MX Simulator" which expands to "C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\MX Simulator\". (Your personal folder.)
I'd recommend putting everything in the install folder except tracks you're using the editor on. This is because the game can only write to the personal folder so when you save in the editor it goes there.
