Tuborg Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I know it's possible to install Swtor on USB (and not recommended), but has anyone actually tried it on a USB3 stick? Is that still slower than a normal non-SSD HD? I'm thinking that it would be really nice not having to update several computers every time there's a patch (given how horribly that works) and the USB3 sticks I've tried seems to be pretty fast, but I haven't actually bothered to measure the speed. Easier to just ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TryRoon Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I have a back up just in case on a usb. When a new patch comes out I update the usb. We had a lot of trouble in the beginning with patches and we used this to transfer copies of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I don't know if it will run off of a USB flash drive. I believe that the way the files are accessed is different than a USB hard drive. However, if all you want to do is to simplify installation, you can install (or update) SWTOR on one computer, copy (not "install") the SWTOR folder to a USB stick, and then simply copy the USB stick's SWTOR folder to the other computer(s). If it's a new install on the other computers, just run "Launcher[.exe]" from the swtor folder on the computer. If SWTOR is already installed on the other computer, just let the new SWTOR folder overwrite the old one.
