Ready to answer your Kharkov '43 Questions...

RE: Ready to answer your Kharkov '43 Questions...
Yes, that will cause some problems. These comments are based on extensive testing of the install and game.

First, the game must be installed on each PC it is run on as this creates registry entries. I tried running the game from a USB drive and it wouldn't run without it being installed on that system. However, once the game has been installed on a PC, and then uninstalled, it leaves the registry entries in place for the game and it WILL run off a memory stick fine, or any other portable hard drive.

However, if you run it on a system without installing it again, it has to be reactived, which as long as you have a spare activation will work fine. But you can't uniinstall the game which is currently the only way to deactivate the game on that PC, so it will be permanently tied up. The workaround here is that you can still install the game normally, then uninstall it.

So the short answer is yes, you can install the game on a PC then copy the game folder to a memory stick and run it/save games on it, then take it to another PC it is installed on and play using the same files, but no you can't run it on any PC that you stick the memory stick in.

Best idea I have is copy the install files and game folder onto a drive, then you can move around in any situation as long as you plan ahead, and you can work with just the one game copy without having to move files around in that case.

Hope that covers it.
