Remote Session

mhochman · 07-26-2003, 05:29 PM

Are we ever going to be able to play over a remote session using Terminal Services or Citrix Metaframe?

OOTP runs on my main computer downstairs, But there are times when i'd love to be able to play a couple games from bed, I keep a couple old 486 laptops around for doing things like that, iand i use Citrix Metaframe and Terminal Services, since that allows me to run programs that wouldnt run on a 486,

Now if i try and run OOTP, even if i have a licenced copy on each machine, i get E-Licence's screen saying "This game is not enabled for remote connections" or something very similar to that.

I contacted the people at E-Licence, and at the time was told that this was how .400 Studios wanted it, and .400 could contact them at any time to allow it and it would take about 5 minutes to fix.

I emailed .400 about it and never got a reply

Now that OOTP and .400 have split. is there any chance of Getting this enabled. Since we get multiple licenses when we purchase the game, its not like OOTP would be loosing money by people buying one copy and then using term services to run it on other machines, since with the 3 licenese you can run it legally on 3 machines anyway.

i love this game, But i don't like being restricted as to where i can play it. Sometimes i wake up at 2am and just gotta play a couple games of OOTP. but i'm too lazy to get out of bed and go downstairs.

That would be outstanding, Mostly cause it would make the life of lazy people like me that much easier. heh

ALso good cause using terminal services. you can buy cheap laptops and use them almost as if they were 800mhz+ machines.
