Hello,

My PC crashed so I'm trying to restore my vault and game wallet on a different PC according to the steps above.

After replacing and renaming the wallet files (1.4.1. synced wallet) I'm getting the following messages after restarting the wallet:

 

"chat stderr" and sometimes flashed trying to connect to port. This is running for about 1 hour now.

(Already the 2nd time I repeated the whole process after deleting the wallet + app data)

Is this normal it takes such a long time? Or is something else going wrong?

Thanks, gr John

Update few hours later...

Repeated the proces till  wallet sync:

After that deleted the chain in settings:

Resumed process in the video and rebooted PC before wallet.

Now the wallet is connecting, being recognized, unlocked and resyncing.

Hope this helps if somebody experiences the same.

In your first screenshot it looked already fine when it said "rescanning" and this can indeed take some time^^
