Q: How do I backup my Profile so my game progress can be restored after re-installing the game? |
A: The Garage file contains all bonus and bought cars a player has earned while playing GT Legends. This Garage system has been designed to reflect YOUR achievements in GT Legends and is protected. Hence using a Garage file obtained from a friend will not work on your system. This restriction means that creating a legitimate backup of your Garage is not just a matter of backing up the file and adding it to a new installation. Until the online serial number has been entered into the game (for access to the online lobby), the Garage file is written to only work on the same hard disk partition that it was installed on. After you enter (and verify) your Online Serial number, the Garage file is re-written to work on any hardware that uses the originally specified serial number. To successfully backup/restore your Garage onto a new PC or upgraded hardware, perform the following steps:- 1) Before the backup is made ensure you have verified your online serial number at least once in the past (by logging into the Multiplayer->Internet system). 2) Backup the Garage file. (Located in [game root]\UserData\ YourPlayerName\garage.gar) 3) Reinstall the game on the new system. 4) Run the game and verify the online serial number again by logging into the multiplayer system. 5) Close down GT Legends, and restore the backed-up garage file. This will work because the backed up garage file is based on the online serial number, the online serial has been verified in the new installation, and GT Legends will expect the garage file to be based on it (which it is!). |
