Here is the problem:
I had PWI and and few other games installed on one of my hard drives. Problem is that said hard drive is damaged. Today I got another drive and copied all data from damaged disk to a new one. I copied the whole arc folder to the new disk, but arc cant detect the games on the new location. So here is the question:
Is there a way to make arc detect the games on the new disk or I am forced to download more than 50 GB of data?
I tried repair arc, but did not work.

    You should be able to make Arc detect the games by going into the game folders and launching from there, as it'll prompt Arc to open and log you in if you're not already. So for example you could launch from C:\PWI_en\patcher\patcher.exe or wherever you have your PWI files located. I think this should apply to other games on Arc as well but I'm not entirely sure how their files are set up. Hopefully that helps.

    Thanks for the help. This worked for me with pwi, swordsman and stronghold kingdomn. Neverwinter and Forsaken world didnt work, but my net is really fast at this time, so it should not take too long to download those.
    I had a few others but I don't think I keep them since I don't play them too much anymore.
