Playing remotely to CIV III no DirectX Support???

[tufir]

Hi:

I bought a fully equipped server, where I have my lab for testing for my job, but, as far as it's a great performance "monster", and to avoid loosing my saves changing of pc, to make easier the making of my scenarios as well, I'm trying to centralize the game in a virtual machine to be able to play it from anywhere in the world, where i have an internet connection. I've tryied to publish it through Citrix XenApp 6, with some problems that I have nearly soved, but then I tought the best would be to publish a desktop, through RDP or XenDesktop to play the virtual machine directly by RDP or ICA protocols, and I have nearly done it: if i run the virtual machine inside an RDP session, the game that thinks is running locally, works perfectly, but throgh RDP, slow (too many graphics). Aftwerwards I've tried to publish the VM desktop directly through RDP or ICA, but I can't get DirecX work for the game, so it doesn't start.

Just for knowledge, ¿has anyone tried to play te game remotely and with enough speed?

Thanks for teh info for this strange (I Know) thread...

I would think that if you had a high enough u/l speed you should be able to VNC or use logmein to see it. Possibly KVM over IP... Never tried, so don't really know.

I really didn't think in something that simple!!! I shall try VNC and will give feedback (log me in shold ask probably for the acceptation locally), for any other freaky (like me) who is willing to do it. Thank you very much really!!
