Default Playing on a work CPU via flash drive, any risks?

I'm contemplating putting p99 on a flash drive and playing on my work laptop during slow days. I work for a Fortune 500 company and wondering if there are any concerns like if I'm going to get flagged by IT. Any input from some tech people?

Thanks

if not, i'd put it on an tablet with 3g or 4g and play on that instead.

I play the game off of my personal external hard drive when I travel for work w/ no problems (Also work for F500 company with strict IT, etc.). Just copy&paste relevant files onto HD, re-direct the shortcut to read from the HD, not the C drive, and you are good to go. My work PC sucks so I run the game on the lowest settings but that's a different problem.

Chances are probably pretty good if its a big company that the ports required to game here will be blocked. If they aren't blocked they probably have software like the company i work for that detects connectivity times to certain IPs if you rack up alot of connection time to like Youtube or Runescape in my case, then you will get an email from them.

So i learned to only screw with it for like 2 hrs or less a day and i get no issues [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
