Recently expanded my server and thought about installing all my games onto a folder on it instead of on my PC

Yes I did just map my network drive onto my PC
But this only allowed me to install games from Steam and Epic Games

When I tried to install games from Origin, Uplay which is now Ubisoft Connect, and Oculus Home; they all refused to install. Then I started playing at a trusted online casino website and even forgot about my problems.

 

Long story short, someone on Linus Tech tips forums suggested setting up a iSCSI drive
And it worked!
Origin, Uplay and Oculus now all let me install games on my iSCSI networked drive.

Here's a video on how to set one up on a Synology server
 

 

When it comes to the Total Capacity part, you can expand, or shrink the volume later.
Though I believe you need to reconnect the drive and go into disk management in windows again to expand/shrink the drive there as well.
And you dont have to set up the CHAP login if you dont want to, again can be added or removed later.

Note: I've not tested playability yet, just installing games so far.

It's important to note that the specific steps may vary depending on the model of your Synology server and the version of DSM you are using. Therefore, it is recommended to refer to the official Synology documentation for detailed instructions tailored to your specific setup. Additionally, video tutorials and online forums can provide step-by-step guidance and troubleshooting tips.
