Just finished setting up my Remote Desktop Connection from work. I'm not good with those Mastercard commercials, but playing OOTP 2007 on your home pc from work has to fall under the priceless category

You may not be able to do that. I don't think SI games let you play remotely somehow.

PotatoPeeler · 02-05-2007, 09:44 AM

Why wouldn't you be able to do so? With Remote Desktop, aren't you just taking control of a computer via another terminal?

silvam14 · 02-05-2007, 09:46 AM

I don't know how they prevent it, but I'm 99% sure you can't do it with OOTP2006, so I don't think you can do it withh 2007.

Maybe someone from SI can explain further

I do not see a problem with it working in 2006 or 2007. I did it with 6.5 with no problem.

The only problem can be taken care with proper planning. I would suggest that you have the game set up in window mode and the remote computer have a larger resolution than the hosting machine.

Yes, I know it worked in 6.5, I used to use it then, which I why I notcied that it does not work anymore. Same goes with EHM and WSM

I am able to run OOTP 2006 on my work computer and access it through Remote Desktop from home. I have the game licensed on both computers, but it's a pain to transfer the league file from one to the other, so I just don't bother. I've never had a problem with it.

OMG, now I lose my job for sure!

It's bad enough I'm on these boards all day.

hmm hopefully it won't be a problem. As far as transferring files...I don't need it licensed on my work computer. I just want access to my home pc. Logistically, I can't see how this would be a problem. I am just taking control of my home pc. All the files will stay there.. We'll see though. I'll let you guys know how it goes. On the other hand, if this is against the EULA, then I won't do it.
