LAN with one Real copy of the Game
Hello I know this question has been asked a Million times, and I hope its in the right place
Ok I got the game for christams with the intent of LAN player and for some reason the game creaters have made it so you need 2 copies of the game to play lan I am not going to spend all that money so I can play LAN, So is there any way of LAN play with one Real copy? I heard that a Patch can fix it now sure though
Thanks
sorry about spelling

Re: LAN with one Real copy of the Game
With steam you can install the game on as many computers as you want, but only one of them can be online at any one time (you must be signed into steam to play online and you can only be signed in on one pc at a time). So no, its not possible for 2 people to play each other on LAN with only one copy of the game.
This isn't just the case with Empire though, virtually all games require 1 copy per person to play online (for example most older games require a disk to be in the drive to play it). Its how companies make money, otherwise one person would buy the game and share it with all their friends.

Oh ya for Online play but I am talking about LAN I have played all the other Total war games fine on LAN with one copy

No, you have not, all other TW games require the disc to be present in the drive to start.Originally Posted by Shadowfoot50
The LAN section is in the "Online" menu which is disabled completely if you're not connected to Steam, so Online and LAN play have the same limitation.

Actually Shadow is correct you can play LAN games with 1 copy of a game. You can take the disc out of the drive after startup you know. But with Steam games this isn't possible.
