Wolverhaptom Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 using some kind of screen share program will be the best and will work, though most will have bit of lag you won't notice it unless your using the 3D match engine, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintchip Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I use teamviewer, but the 3d match is a million miles away from being fluid. Does the job for moving around the screen and stuff though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legionaire Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Just run fm on your desktop, create a new game, dont create manager, then in preference-network check "run as a server" Now, on the laptop, select join network game. Either select it in local servers if 2 computers are in LAN, or join other server, type the ip of your desktop, create your manager, type a password, now play. Use your teamviewer or anyother similar program to click continue and save game on your desktop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaCeR Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Or, you put Desktop on auto continue and in the server properties set "continue when 100% of players are ready." Solved! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigod Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 So many different methods. As my PC and Laptop are both Win7 I use the Remote Desktop feature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stotteh Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 So many different methods. As my PC and Laptop are both Win7 I use the Remote Desktop feature. This, Remote Desktop or VNC are probably the best options. Using the downstairs computer as a server does not solve the underlying problem of the laptop not being able to handle running the game (as a client, it would still have to handle the match engine amongst others). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan99 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Id trump stream my game over all those other alternatives.why? Its made for for that purpose. You've got it all wrong mate. He wants to let the game run on his quick PC, so it runs quicker, but use his laptop and remote control it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tieger Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Do you need two copied of the game to do that? How does the server run without the cd? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
