Playing on two computers

MikeMcGuire · 06-07-2009, 10:22 PM

I alternate using my desktop and laptop and would like to replay one season between the two computers. I copied my Rays o9.lg file to computer #2 but the second computer didn't recognize it when I attempted to load the game. Is there a way to do what I want, somehow sharing a single file between two computers via a flash drive?

I'm assuming you put the .lg file in the correct directory and could find it when trying to import? Or Not?
Not to sure I'm just a regular poster so maybe someone more technical could help.

Problem solved. I started a new game on computer #2 with the same name as the file on #1, then I transferred #1 to #2's directory. Thanks for your reply, though.

What files do you need to play on two computers? When I copy my league it's like over 400MB's and takes forever to copy and paste.

That's a good question. I copied the whole .lg file. Is there a faster way?

I use logmein.com...it's a free remote desktop service. OOTP is on my desktop at home, but when I'm out and about, I play it on my laptop by virtually controlling the desktop. It's easier than copying files all the time.

Little bump to hear what you guys have to say about which files have to be copied over to play on two computers.... thanks for any input guys

You can also share the folder on computer A and then change the settings to say the data file is on the shared computer and you can instantly play either one, as long as computer A is on.

You can play by just copying the dat files from the main league folder. But then you would have no images, box scores, etc.

I use winrar. You can download for free at win-rar.com. Once it is installed you can select all in your .lg folder and right-click and add to archive. It will zip up all file and folders. Then when you go to the other computer just make your .lg folder and put your .rar file in it and right click ... extract here.

Hope this helps.
