Technical Issue - FOF Can Not be used Remotely?

Magilla_Gorilla · 05-13-2009, 08:37 AM

I have a small problem - The pc that I installed FOF on is a home server running XP Pro. Its setup is nothing special other than I have it sitting in a closet and use it for downloads, network drives, and hosting media.

I don't have a monitor for it, and I just remote in through Terminal Services. Its never been a problem until I tried to run FOF for the first time. Apparently Solecismic won't allow the application to be run remotely. I'm serious, I can't remote into the box and run the application without being greeted by this screen:

Has anyone else encountered this - if so were they able to find a fix to allow them to run the app remotely?

You can't do it.

lol... I figured. I guess this is to prevent leagues from only buying one game and setting it up on a remote server for everyone to log into?

My friend showed me how to put FOF on VNC (a virtual computer), and I was able to access it remotely and it worked fine, but I'm not that technical regarding networks and use a laptop now, so I don't remember how it was done.

I've played over VNC and also have put VirtualBox on my Mac and have Windows running on that which is where I play FOF now.

Once FOF is launched traditionally you can use Remote Desktop to connect to that computer and you can use FOF remotely. I just leave FOF up and running all the time on my desktop in the basement and use Remote Desktop from where ever I am to do what I need to do. Same goes for BBCF.
