Hey guys.

Have to do a full wipe of my computer, and was wondering if it is possible to copy the game folder to an external drive and then copy it back when windows is installed again?

Dont wanna have to go through the setup process again.

"Headin for Gamescom tomorrow, hoping for some nice info on FFXIV"

Someone must have had this problem before?

I imagine the following would work:

Copy installation directory to external drive

Reinstall base game after format from disk and then overwrite with what you backed up

Then only thing i'm unsure of is the my games directory, I know FFXIV stores files there, but I think they may just be patches, I would copy those as well just to be sure.

Keep in mind I haven't tried it so I can't guarantee anything.
