CyanideCloud Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 My friend wants TESIV Oblivion for PC. His internet is ridiculous ******* slow and is dl'ing it at 10 kb/s. It'd take ~12 days to dl it.I HAVE Oblivion/SI and mods (great mods). I was wondering if i could put my installation(C:/Games/TESIV Oblivion) of Oblivion into a massive *** .rar file and he could just extract it and play it right away without having to install anything or dl mods and mod handlers... So, in short... Can i rar my oblivion install folder(C:/Games/TESIV Oblvion)Give it to my friend and just unrar to his /games directory (or w.e) and play right away. Thanks. NOTE: I have Vista 64 bit. He has XP 32 bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientSpaceAeon Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 His internet is ridiculous ******* slow and is dl'ing it at 10 kb/s. It'd take ~12 days to dl it.You mean download from Steam or Direct 2 Drive right ? Why he doesn't buy the disc, rather than download it. And to give it to a friend, that's quite a bit illegal. But if he buys the game by himself, and you give your mods (not including SI), I don't think giving mods it's illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has purchased it from steam, but who the hell wants to wait 12 days to play a game? Seriously? After it finishes downloading, I'll make him uninstall the one I gave him (backup mods and saves) and install the Steam one of course. If steam only had TESIV multiplayer... >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could borrow him your CD, but then you would not be able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezdimona Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 yes you do need the disc to play. Giving him your files is "piracy" pure and simple and in such is not tolerated here on this site. Have him spend the twenty dollars american for the disc,or ebay has them for less also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncientSpaceAeon Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I don't know if his friend can complain it to Bethesda. Can he just say :"I downloaded your game from Steam but my internet awfully slow, can I just get the disc one for free ?" I guess not. It maybe possible (maybe) for you to uninstall your game, then giving the game disc to your friend so he can play it. Can anyone clarify this ?

Alkser Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Downloading through steam? Didn't know that you can download Oblivion on steam since it's not multiplayer game. And anyway downloading game is simply illegal called "warez" and not supported on this site as some1 mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientSpaceAeon Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 And anyway downloading game is simply illegal called "warez" Downloading the game through steam or d2d is NOT illegal. Other ways are illegal (except maybe on 40th anniversary maybe Bethesda going to gave them away for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
