Indiagames Games on Demand Player can download games while your computer is not being used to play games. Whenever you close the Indiagames Games on Demand player during the download you can check the checkbox to continue downloading the game. Press the "yes" button and the Indiagames Games on Demand player will take care of the rest. The next time you try to play that game it will be ready to go! Best of all, you can "schedule" multiple games to download one after another, so if you start downloading before going to bed the next day all of your games will be ready. Please remember that your computer must be connected to the Internet for the downloads to work, and the only way to start this feature is to close the Indiagames Games on Demand player during the download process.

In order to switch between the two packages please contact our support team here.

All games on the Indiagames Games on Demand service run from the EXEtender Player.

Without it, you cannot use the service. The EXEtender Player must be downloaded and installed onto each PC from which you want to use the service.

There are 2 ways to launch a game:
1. Click the Play button on one of the game list pages, or
2. Click the Play button on the game page

The EXEtender Player opens and starts to pre-cache the game. You can begin using the game as soon as the necessary pieces of the game are on your computer. The Play button will be activated on the EXEtender Player when the game is ready.

Pre-caching is the process by which parts of the game are loaded into your EXEtender Player to make the game ready for you to use without waiting for the whole game to download. The caching process continues while you use the game.

The EXEtender Player continuously stays one step ahead of the game and caches data files before they are required by the game. This ensures that you experience the highest quality gaming experience, along with the shortest possible launch time for the game.

When you launch a game for the first time, a progress bar appears on your EXEtender Player that indicates the estimated caching time for the game.

It depends on the game! Typically it may take anywhere from a few seconds to 30 minutes - the faster your connection, the quicker your caching time.

Caching usually takes longest when you launch a game for the first time.

The game should launch much quicker when you run it again.

Cached data that is stored on your PC does not have to be cached again. Each game requires a certain amount of cached data in order for you to start using the game. Once the required data is cached, the game launches and you can begin using it.

The EXEtender Player continuously stays one step ahead of the game and caches data files before they are required by the game. This ensures a user experience of the highest quality, along with the shortest possible launch time for the game.

The Indiagames Games on Demand service mimics the same games that you could buy on CD-ROM from the store. You don’t need a CD to run this service, yet a game may still ask you for one. If it does, you may need to instruct the Service to insert or switch to the appropriate CD.

To instruct the Service to insert or switch a CD when necessary, hold down the Ctrl+F(n) keys on your keyboard. (n is the CD number you want to activate, so if you want the Service to activate CD number 2, hold down the Ctrl+F2 keys on your keyboard).
