How do I put northern strike onto cd/dvd so that I have a hard copy rather than just having it on my hardrive. By the way I am a bit of a noob so try and explain it in simple terms please.
You don't. It's that simple. Even if something does happen to your computer, the purchase is connected to your EA Link account, so you will be able to re-download it of you need to.
Yeh but im funny about that sort of stuff. I would feel so much better if iI had the hard copy so that I could just shove it into the computer when I need to.
I one person could just quickly tell me I would feel so much happier and leave you all in peace
Im working on it, dont think I have NS downloaded for some reason, give me a second or two
Wow some ppl are so good at computers lol.....not me tho
Well, you can actually back it up.
First go into C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Link\cache
There you will find a folder with random letters and numbers, inside that folder is everything you downloaded via EA Link. Back up what you want, and when you want to use it again, say you need to format your computer, just install EA Link and replace the files that you backed up.
It's best just to backup the whole cache file though.
