Hello everyone,
I've been googling for days searching for proper solution, but still without success.
So I'm about to build server for game center(or as you say internet caffe), that server should have all the game directories (steam, epic, uplay..) so I will be doing only one update and all the PC's will pull game from that server and launch it. It seems simple, many gaming centers are using it that way but I'm wondering how.
I was about to pay for diskless service but they said I must have all the same motherboards(maximum 3 different models) but I have more than that. So my idea was to have only SSD in PC's and server will handle game library.
There comes to a problem. Installed steam on gaming PC, linked NAS storage, installed game and got an error, PUBG Battleye launcher said "Failed to read initialization file". It won't run their Battleye anticheat because game is not running from internal disk(as I found as a reason on another place), and fortnite won't even install on disk due to security and permissions.
What I found that will work is iSCSI, but that's limited to only one PC because it's showing up as a internal disk.
My question is, is there any NEW way to make something like iSCSI but for multiple PC's ? Everything I found are more than 5 years old posts and I need any modern solution for this.
