Anyone do this? How well does it run? I NEED ANSWERS
I did it for a while while I was on a loaner, and it works great, very fast. But there are a couple of caveats
1) As Olath mentioned, USB3.0 works much better than USB2.0, so make sure the flash drive is USB3.0 and big enough (I used 16GB and it was fine)
2) Even computers that do have USB3.0 might not have it on all ports - mine had 2 USB3 & 2 USB2, so check.
3) The client needs to connect to DDO.COM, which, as a game site, is blocked by many corporate firewalls, you may need to sweet talk or blackmail somebody in IT to get an exception.
4) Depending on security settings, an executable on a USB drive may not be "trusted" and you might have to right click each one and tell the computer that they are OK.
And the last page of this thread is blocked by my corporate filter, so apologies if somebody laid these out already
