Any movement on HPS making the games CD Free? - raizer - 10-28-2010

I know this was talked about a few months back because it came up about VMs/HPS' France 14 game...there was a blurb about making the existing games-and I have a bunch of them- CD free. My old windows XP, Dell laptop's CD drive is starting to hate the constant switches Big Grin

To play without the CD has been a dream of mine since childhood:conf:

From my understanding, everything that has been updated and/or released since July 2009, no longer requires the game disk.

To see what games apply, make sure you check out the What's New page on the HPS site:

You don't need it for France 1914.

Just burn the games exe start files onto a disc and leave it in your PC.

Hi raizer, yes refer to the pic, each of my HPSSIMS games exe files are copied into a correctly named folder, then burn them all to a CD, which can be left in your drive.

This was discussed sometime ago, we had a thread here, and I believe we were told was a fix until ALL the patches were rolled out.
Maybe some young gun will guide you thro the process as I'm gett'in a bit long in the tooth.

If you cant work out what to do from Lowlander's pic, drop me an Email. ;)

The entire SB series is entirely disc-free. I assumed that they'd rolled that out to all the games by now.
