Migrate Windows 13 to Linux 14?

Carpenterdumonde · 09-04-2013, 12:30 PM

I'm running 13 in Windows 7, and I'd like to take another crack at the Linux version of OOTP for 14. However, I'd be interested in hearing whether people have done cross-version upgrades (or even migrations within the same generation) between Windows and either of the other supported OSs. Like many others I'm nurturing a league through many iterations of the product (mine was originally OOTP 9)

Thanks in advance!

I've done it before, and migrating a league cross-platform was a non-issue. Granted, that was a few years ago, but I doubt much has changed. The only thing I can see being a potential headache would be the permissions in Linux - although as long as your league folder winds up somewhere in your Home directory (which I believe is the default), you should be fine.
