  • TWGS question...

    From Martin Kazmaier@1:340/1101 to All on Thursday, August 14, 2025 18:49:00
    I reinstalled my OS,so I had to reinstall TWGS. I tried putting the files
    from the games back in their appropriate directories, pointed each game at
    the right directory, and everything existed properly except for users...
    What do I need to do to restore users?

    Thanks, I can do that when I have this planned, but not if it's unplanned...

    I'm copying the games successfully, just not users. I need to be able to
    move the game over to a new install and keep the users.
