How To Install Oculus/Origin/Uplay Games on Your NAS


omar

Recommended Posts

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.

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!

 

Ooo I never thought about doing that!
Thanks for the tip.

 

Strange my read speeds actually fell when enabling 9K MTU

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.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's a clever workaround for installing games from different platforms.

Your explanation makes it sound doable, and I appreciate the heads-up about adjusting the drive size and CHAP login. It'll definitely come in handy for gamers looking to save space on their PC. I'll try this with my online board games and roll dice. Thanks!

Installing Oculus, Origin, or Uplay games on your NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a great way to manage and access your game library from multiple devices. First, ensure your NAS has enough storage and is connected to your network. Install the game client (Oculus, Origin, or Uplay) on your PC and choose your NAS as the installation location. Set up the network drive to ensure seamless access. Once installed, you can launch the games directly from your NAS.
