A guide to install Reborn from a BACKUP file!(Tested and working :D)

First of all get a Backup from a computer that already has Reborn. The total file size of the Backup would be around ~16.3 GB

**IMPORTANT- MAKE SURE YOU GET THE "appmanifest_570.acf" file from the pc from which you took the backup**
(appmanifest_570.acf can be found in the SteamApps folder)

1. Uncheck the DLC option from DOTA2 if you already have it ticked.

2.Uninstall Dota2(**trust me**)

3.Close STEAM(make sure no steam processes are running from your task manager)

4.Paste the "appmanifest_570.acf" in your steamapps folder.

5.Open STEAM. Now Steam will show that Dota2 is ready to play(although its not installed) and you'll get the Launch dota/Reborn/Reborn tools option if you click the play button if you did everything right till now(you will get an error if you try to launch though)

6.Go to Dota2 properties and Validate the game. Wait for a couple of minutes and Steam will start downloading DOTA2. **MAKE SURE THAT IT SHOWS 14.6 GB AND NOT 7 GB** if it doesn't you'll have to repeat steps 1-6 again.


7.**PAUSE** the 14.6 GB download and start restoring your backup(should take a while) ***Note- your Steam downloading tab should show "UNPACKING FILES" and 14.6/14.6 GB if done correctly***

8.After the restore is completed you'll be able to play REBORN
