LAN Computer - Installing games...

bloodline76 · 26 Jun 2009 at 14:11

I have just built myself a LAN computer and was wondering if I can insteam my games on it or should I have seperate copies?

Like I have steam, can I download it onto the lan and log on with my account?

Or Can I install WOW and use it on both computers?

Anyone recommend some good LAN games?

Thanks

Thanks guys. Thats ok as I am the only one that would be using it. So I can only be on one computer at a time.

With wow, is there anyway of installing all the updates in one go.

Maybe install from disk then copy certain files from my main computer and paste over?

Just copy your whole wow folder from pc to the other

But install it first with disks for reg input? How big is the folder now? I have a 16g usb, hopefully that is big enough lol

Just copy the whole folder. It doesn't need 'installed' as such .

Cool thanks. I know that works with steam but i didnt think it would with wow as well.

If it's a LAN only machine, set steam to run in offline only mode.

That way you can log into your account on other machines regardless afaik.

Does that mean I can play on two computers with my account?

BAck to Wow install. I got it transfered over with the whole folder ok. Works fine.

But does anyone know what folder the updates go into when they come out? Dont particualrly want to transfer 11g each time.

I dont want to let it auto update as i use it on a dongle and has a limited download of only 1g. (Which it isnt my dongle lol)
