Tonywjones44 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Is there any advantage in hosting the game on a computer other than the one you are playing on? If so, can I use the extra licence on a machine not fitted with a dongle?Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Minor advantage if any. It also chews one of your 8 players if you don't have the 8+ player version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 From here (but I understand why you may have missed it as it went OT - my fault):http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?p=209933#post209933An I think it would be best if I bought another licence so I can use a PC other than the one I'm playing on as host, yes?Best wishesDepends on your Internet connection.If you use a router with port forwarding then a second licence is no good as the ports/traffic for SB can only be forwarded to one IP address (i.e. one computer) in your house.Himachi may let you get around that, but I've been able to run my machine as "host" while still participating in the battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
