Gwahir Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hey guys, is there any way I can install software safely on my laptop and iPhone to be able to play EnB? If this is against ToS then clearly I won't be doing it, but if it isn't, then how's it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karu [WDL] Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 [quote name='Gwahir' timestamp='1299691085' post='36083'] Hey guys, is there any way I can install software safely on my laptop and iPhone to be able to play EnB?[/quote]get EnB running on laptop as usual, then install VNC server to laptop. On iPhone use VNC client to access laptop VNC server and pretend that you play on your iPhone. simple really ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 nice tip Karu, the new iPhone has a great resolution, I bet E&B looks good on it. If you get it working, could you post pics of it running on the iPhone (not screen grabs, an actual camera pic of the iPhone with it running). That'd be awesome to post up, I'd also like to show friends; iPhone is very popular in Aus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punk [BTL] Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 YEP !! Aussie here and I got one. I thought it would have to wait til there was a decent windows based smartphone. All the best Alk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Del[IS] Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Is the graphics update rate of VNC really that smooth that it would allow this? I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredway Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I plan on testing this out this weekend when I can give it my full attention! I would assume VNC could handle it based off your upload bandwidth etc. Considering I'm on a 100MB/100MB connection shouldnt be any problems One thing I will miss from here when I have to return stateside... The "Real" blazing broadband, not the BS marketing tricks we play in the states hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 It might even be playable, but one thing's for sure it will make a damn good pic, that display on the iPhone 4 has me gawking in disbelief every time I see someone using one. Oh and Rojo - you should try the broadband in Australia We're acknowledged as having the worst internet in the 1st world. Soon (tm) they're doing the upgrade and we'll be up there with S Korea, but who knows how long it'll take, and the first place getting it is Tasmania. Tasmania??! What the hell happens there apart from holidays, beer brewing (nice stuff it is too) and ... I think they grow apples and graze cattle/sheep etc too. Super fast broadband's really going to help those industries, yep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredway Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 TB you've got it all wrong... Sheep Gazin isnt that code for internet bestiality? Course theyre gonna need broadband for it. LOL well I know I have certainly had worse thats for sure... Iraq/Afghanistans was pretty crummy! Hence my absence during ST2-3 lol... Ya funny thing... The locals call my connection in my apt here slow! I laughed and am all giddy Im like hell streaming/downloading etc fly for me so Im content, but always love more Apparently they get actual 1Gbps speeds on bad days... WOW no wonder they made such good gold farmers etc lol. And their MMO scene here is unreal, they have PC Cafe's packed on every corner worse than 7/11's or Gas stations for them to be jacked in hehe. Lotta chicks here are hard core gamers too I was stunned hehe. Ah well bored at work and all I have is forum access :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 so where in the world are you? I would guess either S Korea or Japan (Okinawa?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredway Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I could tell you... but then.. well you know the rest... Nah 1st guess was correct, gonna be here for a lil bit then hopefully back stateside for good, tired of bein on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 hmm, I've heard about Korean chicks, and after seeing 'Audition' I think I know enough. Gives a whole new meaning to the 'Sackboy' character in those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garblesoup Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I sincerely hope this works. It would make my wife's iPhone useful - as it's pure crap as a phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I [i]just[/i] stepped from a 1.5/384 ADSL line to a 10/800 cable gateway this past year when my cable company finally decided to throw some of their loose change into infrastructure, elimintating the need for a [b]phone line[/b] for uploads when using cable.

Only wish our greedy business CEOs would stop playing games and milking us for technology thats available, giving us the short end of the stick (and not even those speeds to boot) calling it new tech/blazin fast hehe. Amidst my worldly travels... I can say 2 areas US doesnt impress me... Airline Carriers and IT Technology! But they'd make you think they're the bell o the ball!

Gwahir Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ok, I've got the vnc client and server. It gave norton a heart attack and probably a collapsed lung in the process. It's not playable as a combat game. It would be ok... Just about to do terminal jobs.... If the bloody game didn't hang and fail the jobs each time I leave the friging station! The hanging has nothing to do with the VNC, it does it every time I pick up a diplomat and try and return to AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using packet optimization? (that seems to help a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredway Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ya CDel when people are doing jobs if they CTD at anytime, all their jobs in mission logs disappear. I see people hollering about it every now and then in the chat channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 the server is *meant* to recover the lost jobs on relog but that's clearly not working well. I will try testing the diplomats on the chernevog/AP run again, I did it before and I couldn't reproduce the crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdered Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 If you crash to login generally I recover Jobs, however if you crash to desktop you loose all jobs that you had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
