Will my download code work on multiple devices?

SnakeAes · 2014-01-23 13:18:56

I have two computers - a desktop and a laptop. They are both used solely by me but because I travel frequently for work, my laptop gets a lot of use. I just purchased TCD because the premise looks amazing and I love games of thought and pressure.

But I just wanted to know, will my download code work more than once?

Yep. The download codes work on any number of devices, although Jason can see if one code in particular is being used unreasonably (If anyone releases theirs to the public and gets hundreds of downloads).

Only thing he needs now is ANDROID! Then I can log in from anywhere and watch security tapes of people dying hehehehehe!

Also, be careful about logging in simultaneously from two different computers. Your clients will "fight" each other on the server, stepping on each other's toes (like if you're trying to rob a house with one client while editing your own house with the other) and death will likely result...

But as long as you're only using one machine at a time, you should be okay.

I myself carry Castle Doctrine client around in my USB, and it doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

I play other games while staying logged in with the client running so I can alt-tab in and check my tapes. A few times I've hit the shortcut for castle doctrine from habit and had 2 copies running. One basicly dies while the other works fine. This probably isn't intended but its good that it does it.

Yeah, whichever one starts second will essentially "take over".

The server requires a unique sequence number for each client request and blocks requests with older numbers to prevent replay attacks.

So, the older client's sequence numbers become stale.

Yeah I'm not planning to play multiple clients at once, just wanted to make sure that my laptop and my PC could both have the game, which they can. It makes my life much easier.
