omar 2 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) 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 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.

alvihion 0 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I tested and played correctly this week. I found that activating jumbo packets on my pc mic and on DSM (only on Gigabit connections) improved my experience a lot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strange my read speeds actually fell when enabling 9K MTU Edited Tuesday at 07:55 PM by omar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
