Setting Program/etc files to Read-Only...

(1/3) > >>

Strangel:
Yeah.. I know.. great idea.

My questions are.. do I set it from "EA Games" as Read-Only on all levels, subfolders, and files? And.. how the hell do you do a "read-only mounting"?

What exactly are you hoping to achieve by doing this?

Well, my guess is that Strangel wants to ensure that core files will not go corrupt by some shoddy hack or such.

Strangel:
Mmhmm. I had to reinstall Seasons recently, lost my Plantsim skins.. narrowed it down to a problem in TSData, went hunting for old threads to see if O'Mighty listed somewhere which folders to set read-only, found one where he mentions "read-only mounting".

J. M. Pescado:
If you install the game to a seperate partition which is then mounted read-only, it is impossible for the game to attempt to edit those files.
