Easy to Play in Two Locations?

trendon · 07-11-2009, 10:40 PM

I am thinking about purchasing this game after having played the demo, but I have one question about how I would be able to play my season(s) in two different locations with ease.

In other words, I want to be able to play at work and then play the same game at home. I assume there would need to be some file(s) transferred and copied each time, but I want to make sure it isn't a laborious process, like copying entire folders.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Damn do I hate the proliferation of those accursed CAPTCHA things.

I suppose you could set it up like an online league and then update the files that way. For that it'd be easiest if you have a webhost, but you could also do it where you only have to transfer a smaller size update file instead of copying the whole folder.

I don't transfer leagues between computers myself though so someone might come along who can offer you something better.

Yeah, I have a few websites. So, it is no different than having a league with, say, two players in it? I'd download the demo again to try it but I suspect that it will tell me my trial has run out due to some information stored in the registry.

Can anyone confirm that it'd be as easy as setting up an online league for myself?

The size and speed of flash drives these days.
I would go for the option of transferring the league file via one of these.
Plus also has the added bonus of creating 2 stand-alone backups.

Yep - USB Flash Drive is definitely the way to go. That is what I do when playing in 2 different physical locations.

Between my laptop and my desktop at home I just use rsync since both machine run Linux. Much better and cleaner.
