Status: offline 		Hi all, new guy here(at least for the CMANO forums), is it possible to transfer my game and game files via a USB drive to another laptop, so that I don't have to worry about losing any downloads, patches/updates, and any scenarios I modified or created? Thanks in advance.

the saves / .inst files are totally safe though. move them over, install the game then slot them in. it'll be plug & play.

I just copied the entire game folder (desktop) and placed it on the appropriate Steam folder (laptop). Clicked install and it detected the existing files so verification was just needed and everything was set.
