Default Re: Netbook without a CD drive

yeah WingedDog gave you the answer, I've done the same for my own lab top after installing regularly(with CD key) on my PC. copied the libraries onto a disk on key(USB) than into my lab top. had to do it twice because the 2 gigs of my disk on key weren't enough, too many maps and mods :P

Default Re: Netbook without a CD drive

I tried the technique of copying over the dominions3 folder. The game launched, but the framerate was 1.0 at the absolute lowest settings. I then patched the game to the 3.24 version (latest) and had the same experience.

A few things you should know:
- My installation was originally from the CD version I bought years ago.
- I am using this on a netbook (Dell Mini 1012) which has more than met the specs.

And most importantly, I downloaded the demo and ran that and found that my framerates on the demo were in the mid 20's. The demo version is marked as 3.0.

I cannot think of a reason why the framerate would be so messed up on the copy, unless there are registry entries that are not storing graphic preferences.

Any insight into this is greatly appreciated...
