Micado Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You could also use remote desktop for this i guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenMcD Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 depends on the monitering systems your IT department uses, but yes, strong possibility of them finding out what you up to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold_kidd Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 depends on the monitering systems your IT department uses, but yes, strong possibility of them finding out what you up to Yeah we've used this at work (for work-related stuff). You can definitely connect to your home PC and play FM, but your bandwidth usage will spike and it'll be very hard not to get noticed. You can actually use Windows' Remote Desktop Connection too. It's free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You could also use teamviewer. With this program you can set up a safe VPN connection withing seconds and take over the other PC, You even can reboot the other PC and when started up the secure connection is established automatically again. Only minuspoint. When starting this, you should also start the teamviewer on the PC you want to take over and have to type in a pin code which is displayed on the other pc into the programm on your pc.

robzilla Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I've tried playing FM over remote desktop, and it doesn't really work due to the graphic-heavy interface. If you had a fast enough connection, you could probably get away with it just about.. Most of the time you're sitting there waiting for the screen to re-draw. Anyone who's ever tried to do any Photoshop or Flash work over RDP know what I mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillsMan Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Anyone willing to give this a go? Would IT find out? Yes, because your bandwidth would be higher than average and I'm sure your IT dept would clamp down on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar2010 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I use LogMeIn on my work labtop and have tried this but as someone has said above all I get is a black screen. I didn't really expect the graphics to work but I would have thought you could access your team screen etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric flair Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 logmeinworks, but its incredibly slow. If only there was a way to use it over a lan instead of it having to go to the web and back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belissma Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ive used all of the programs and you can run FM ok (as long as its on windowed mode)...but dontm expect to watch any matched, refresh rate is way too slow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
raggaralling Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 hmm would be cool to do, don't have to worry about IT finding out as i am IT lol, only gotta keep it hidden from my boss, and i'm very quick with the keyboard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENO24 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Why wouldnt you install FM on yor work PC/Laptop ? Atleast i did. This is exactly what im wondering. Why would you bother to use remote access when you can just install the game at work - UNLESS you are banned from installing any un-autherised programmes. But the remote access programme would fall under that category anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeturner Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 You would be daft to do this, if you get caught your HR dep or boss could quite easily sack you. You would be breaching company security and in breach of your working contract.

I suggest you should take his advice! In a recession you should never give your management an easy opportunity to sack you and reduce their wage bill!

Smithers Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I can confirm that this works, on my laptop anyway. It was nowhere near as slow as I was expecting (there is some lag but not much), but the 3D match engine doesn't seem to work (but that's probably because my laptop's crap and I haven't updated it in a while). I'd probably use this if I didn't have to pay for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithers Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 What do you mean 'with what software'? And I didn't check the 2D engine; the matches do play, it's just that you don't get to see the players moving on 3D. I guess that's just the price you've got to pay for being able to play FM almost anywhere where there's a computer (other than the price of the programme of course).
