I'm getting a new laptop for Christmas, an HP Envy with an i7 and 8 gigs of ram, for anyone interested, and was wondering how easy it would be to port cw3 from my old build to my new one. It is the beta version because I was a beta tester, though I'm not sure if that makes much difference.

Edit: Before you follow these instructions, you need to make sure you are at a reasonably late beta build so that the data directory structures have not changed. If you are not, then do not copy the folder from your Documents. You will then have to replay all the missions to unlock them. Late in beta the game files  got encrypted and the game can't function with the older  structures.




Copy the CreeperWorld3 folders (two of them) from

%appdata%

and

your Documents folder

To the new computer.

Then download the beta 1.13 from the forum here and install it.

You should be good to go.
