Title: cd copy of Amanita Game Post by: msmoon on January 29, 2011, 08:42:39 pm I am going to be away from home and will be staying at my parents house where there is no net connection. >:(
I very much would like to take a cd copy of this game with me to help fight off the bordem but when I put it on a disc and tried it on my laptop, it didn't work. Question is, can I not burn it and take it with me? TIA :) Title: Re: cd Post by: ABoretz on January 29, 2011, 10:32:17 pm Quote from: msmoon I very much would like to take a cd copy of this game with me... but when I put it on a disc and tried it on my laptop, it didn't work. You didn't say, but I'm guessing you're running a Windows OS. So if you mean that you burned a copy of the file folder containing the installed game on to a CD then, no, that won't work. You need the installation executable to correctly install the game to a new machine. If you still have the digital download of the game you got back in 2009 along with Patch #1 (http://amanita-design.net/blog/2009/10/29/machinarium-patch-01/) and Patch #2 (http://amanita-design.net/blog/2009/11/29/machinarium-patch-02/) then just burn those three to CD and either install on your laptop or on to your parent's machine when you get there. (you can always de-install before you leave) Hope this helps. P.S. Don't forget to compare your laptop's specs (http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php/topic,930.msg4390.html#msg4390) against the game's requirements (http://www.mamba-games.co.uk/machinarium-collectors-edition-p-55.html) or you'll just frustrate yourself even further. ::) Title: Re: cd Post by: msmoon on January 30, 2011, 06:45:18 pm Thanks so much for your informative reply. Yes, I am running windows (7) and later on today I will follow what you have told me. Fingers crossed it's going to work. :)
