Steam vs Direct Download + PC specs help

[iBrandon]

Hey all, I've seen a few posts but curious on which route to go.

Steam allows me to login to my desktop and laptop to play, but doesn't have carry over saves, correct?

Direct Download helps the OOTP 18 team and add one Central available?

Not PC savy when it comes to games. I'd rather play on laptop too so I can watch games/TV while playing, but not sure how well it can handle it. Looks like desktop is better option. Thoughts?


Also can I do saves across both devices and go back and forth?


Just curious on PC requirements -
Desktop
Video card - Intel (R) HAD Graphics
CPU - Intel (R) Core(TM) i5-3300 CPU @3.00GHz
Ram - 8GB
OS - Windows 8
Disk Space - 1TB

Laptop
Video card - Intel (R) HAD Graphics
CPU - Intel (R) Core (TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz
Ram - 4.0GB
OS -windows 7
Free Disk space - 247.5GB

If you only want to play on two computers, it's best to just buy direct from OOTP. The license allows for installation on two computers. Both of those computers should be able to play OOTP, although it'll be slower on the laptop. Not sure about how well 3D will function on either system, but you can always play in the traditional 2D format fine.

There's no "cloud" save, regardless of whether you go with Steam of direct. You'll have to manually copy the league folder between computers, using a flash drive or external hard drive.
