Title: Playing Off A USB Drive
Post by: Green_Manalishi on April 30, 2010, 01:52:18 AM

Is It Fesible That You Could Install And Play AH Off An USB Drive? Instead Of Installing AH To The C Drive Why Not Install It To The USB Drive? You Could Play Off Different PCs And Not Have To Go Through The Set-up.

I Am Pretty Sure I Know Why You Can't Play AH Off Of A Flash Drive But I Just Have To Know Why We Are Capitalizing Every Word In Our Sentences?

You would not be able to patch it as the game does depend on one Windows registry entry to know where patches are to be installed.

Even without that caveat, the you would get stutters every time the disk had to be read/written due to how incredibly slow the USB bus is and how much CPU time it takes to do anything USB related.
