Sins on a Flash Drive?

February 10, 2008 11:33:54 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Sins is only ~1.5 gigs, and 2 gig flash drives are very common these days.

Will sins work properly if installed on a flash drive inserted into any computer that can run it? And if it would work, are the current data transfer speeds of the higher end flash cards high enough to run at least a small map with little trouble?

Interesting idea, i guess it's easy to just try..

The data rate of usb 2.0 i think is enough for playing the game, i think load times will be increased and it may not run as smooth as from a HDD, but smooth enough.

It should work I dont see why it would not. It would be an interesting product. It would surely be much better then the RIAA's USB CD concept. I can see all the "Sin Sticks" now. Each with custom flavor designs for the different races -etc...
