Steam game transfer

I've recently configured a new laptop and I want to play some of the games I stared playing on my desktop on my new laptop. When I download and start them on the laptop, they show 0% progress, but steam shows the actual percent finished.

Games:
Batman AC
COD MW3
Doom 3
Alan wake

I'm not sure what files to copy from desktop to laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

 

You can copy the "steamapps" folder from the steam folder in your program files, but that copies all the games. You'd have to go into steamapps and look for the individual files if you want to copy only specific games.

 

i'm not sure which files to copy. Should I just copy each directory?

 

Hello, Jwimsett, here's some threads to check out:

For Batman AC:
A Guide to Arkham City Save Files (backup, recovery, and sync) - Steam Users' Forums

COD MW3:
Back up saved games help - PC Gamer Forums
and
steam - Where does Modern Warfare 3 save your profile information? - Arqade

DOOM 3:
The location of the save files is in:
Steam Installation Directory.....\Steam\steamapps\common\doom 3\base\savegames

Alan wake:
Uses Steam Cloud but if you want to backup your save data, find it here:

Steam Installation Directory....\Steam\userdata\XXXXXXXX\ 108710\remote\savega me.aws

Also, read this and this concerning Steam cloud saving for this game.

 

great info. thanks

 

You can use this free app called Game Save Manager. It will scan your desktop for the games installed and automatically save your games' progress that you can save on a USB drive for example. Then you simply automatically transfer it to your laptop using the same app.

Thanks! That seems to work ok. I need to figure out how to use this, plus windows task scheduler and sync toy to update, upload to my server and back to my desktop annd vice versa daily.

Should be fun
