Playing on multiple computers

rink23 · 03-24-2016, 04:35 PM

I'd like to get into playing OOTP again after taking a year off.
The thing I was wondering, is if there is a way to transfer the game from one computer to another.
For instance, sometimes play the game on my home desktop in my office and others on my tablet while watching TV or outside.
Hopefully, I explained this correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

Copy the league files onto a flash drive and take it with you

I think you are allowed to license the game on two computers (e.g., desktop and laptop) -- that's what I do. To keep the same league going on both machines requires copying the files in "Saved games" from the computer you most recently played on to the other computer.

If you get it on steam you can play on multiple computers easily, as long as you aren't playing on both at the same time. You will probably be able to use steam-cloud saving to transfer saves but I don't know that for sure.

I'm thinking about trying to use my Google drive for this purpose. Just grab the .lg file and slide it over, then sync on laptop. Haven't tested yet though

Were you able to sync your files using Google Drive? Which files did you end up syncing?

I use the backup and restore utility in game to copy to sdcard. I can move from desktop to laptop and back as needed.
