Hi everyone, I’d like to say thank you for this great piece of software and all the new features that come with it. I’m using it now for about 3 years now and it gets better and better. Recently I’ve decided to start collecting PC games as well, mainly Windows-based games. Soon after deciding I came across some issues. The PC game library contains probably over hundred thousands of games and ideally I would like to store these on my NAS server. I also wouldn’t want to install these games every time I wanted to play them. And since streaming a game from a NAS to PC through a SMB share is very slow I had to find another option. I’ve stumbled upon an idea to create a virtual hard drive (VHD) for each PC game. While it’s mounted I can install any particular PC game and place the VHD on my NAS. Then playing the game from the VHD that sits on the NAS and mounted on my PC works very well and fast, although for the newer games I suggest a bonded network or maybe a direct 10Gbit connection. I’ve tested this with games that are over 20 years old and with newer 2019/2020 games and I think the performance is fine. The newer games may take a little longer to load but there’s no lag to be found while playing. I’d like to share the batch files I’ve created with you, along with the instructions to test this out for yourself and perhaps perfect this method even more. Please let me know what you think and if you have any questions, i'll try to answer them. Good luck and have fun! Play PC games from a network location.docx Batch Template.zip
