Games not working on External HD?

Gofree · #1 12-05-2008, 06:07

I once set up WiC (Worl in Conflict) on my USB external Hard Disk, and it returns the black screen then crash. I'd love to hear if setting up external on is not working. Any other games that refuse to work on external HD?

Thx

USB is slower than IDE and SATA. Nobody in their right minds would install onto a USB1/2 external drive.

well only played command and conquer 3 and the expansion on it, no real slow down to be honest.. was a usb2 drive though .. usb1 would definately have 'lag'... once the levels loaded it played perfectly fine.. no issues.. level loads took about hmm 1 minute or so.. also had no video 'jumps' or lags either...
