Hello there everyone!

Want to run Unreal Engine 4 on your Laptop / Mac / Linux / PC but your device just isn’t powerful enough?

Or how about accessing your project in another room but don’t want two installations / don’t want to send your project to the other PC .etc?

**WELL DO I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR YOU!**

We’re not going to be talking about turning the quality down in Unreal Engine 4, oh no. We’re going to be talking about something far more awesome…

* * *

What you need:

- Two devices (One that can run Unreal Engine 4 just fine!) \<- IMPORTANT
- Steam (And Steam Account) [Installed on both devices]
- One Home Network

* * *

**Step #1** - Sign into your computer that has Unreal Engine 4 installed.

**Step #2** - Get your butt onto Steam

**Step #3** - In Steam, go to Games \> Add non-Steam game to my Library

**Step #4** - Click “Browse…”

**Step #5** - Find your Unreal Engine 4 installation folder.

**Step #6** - Open the folder with the most recent version of Unreal Engine in it (At the moment it’s 4.4)

**Step #7** - Go to Engine \> Binaries \> Win64 (Or whatever one you’re using!) and find UE4Editor.exe

\*\*NOTE: My file path is: C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.4\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe  
\*\*  
**Step #8** - Add it to Steam!

**Step #9** - Go onto your other device

**Step #10** - Load up Steam (Sign into the same account as the main device)

**Step #11** - Go to the Library and load up Unreal Engine

**Step #12** - Give it a moment

**Step #13** - Enjoy YOUR Unreal Engine 4 on a less powerful / alternative device!

* * *

NOW CELEBRATE!

I don’t know how useful this will be to some people but I sure know it’s handy for me!

**P.S - I believe this can also work as PC \> Mac, Mac \> PC, PC \> Linux .etc!**
