Dunno if this qualifies (I'm sure it's fine in this thread tho!), but I just did this, got BF BC2 Vietnam for $4.99, got SPECACT for free, got Mirror's Edge for free and got Sim City 4 Deluxe for free from EA Online.

Took all of 5 minutes to accomplish. I'm glad I held out on Vietnam...I can live with $5. And yes you can use it in Steam because you get a code to enter within BC2, so EA, Steam, DVD, etc are OK. Hope this helps a few of you guys out there! I'm still hoping to see Alpha Protocol around $7-8 again on Steam before this thing is over!

I think it might be ATI over 1GB

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

which would then be a fault in the game that rockstar should fix after all are they again not the ones that claimed there game wouldnt be able to be maxed out till future hardware came along well im on future hardware and they are full of shit lol

hey I know this is kinda the whole point of steam, but I let me dad use my steam account on his computer (in the next room) to play some small indie games. Is there a way for me to use the same account at the same time, even with diff games? Offline mode or something?

set his PC to offline mode and disconnect the interwebsz. should allow you in online mode at the same time.

Hey guys i bought GTA4 complete edition via steam and i don't want wait hours for it to install; i got a actual iso copy aswell which i got from a friend ages ago,i was wondering would it work if i install through the disc files into the same GTA4 folder thats in steam folder if that makes sense.

Me and a buddy do it all the time......Offline mode with Steam. Get your mind out of the gutter queer.

i've done that with a ton of games, only had a problem with one (bad company 2, and the problem ended up being unrelated)

so yes, it should work fine. let steam start the download and it will create the folder. then install your game (i usually install it elsewhere, and then copy the files, and then uninstall the original, so there are not 2 installations in add/remove) and get the files in steams folder.

afterwards, let steam "verify integrity of game cache" and it will jump to 95+%, and take a few seconds to download the steam specific executables.

Thanks for the advice digibucc but i tried that and it just started back from beginning the download of GTA4 =/

Yea, I bought BF BC2 for my cousin as a gift, and knowing his internet is F!@#$$ slow, I just copied my BF BC2 folder to his and did the verify. Anyways, even if the folder isn't exactly the same as the steam one, it'll just change wtv is needed, you'll at least have 90~98%

You have to put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common or equivalent, and put exactly the name they put on the folder (you can let it do 1% to check the folder names if your not sure)

 

[kurosagi01]

What i did was copy all the contents in the original rockstar folder into the steam one and it got 7 failed verification or something then i tried verify again 100% then start from 0?

 

[n-ster]

did you put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common ?

perhaps there are too many differences

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

just bought Civ 4 complete + Civ City Rome + Stalker Bundle for $15 or there about

 

[kurosagi01]

The 10$ coupon for PC isn't valid anymore
There seems to be a 15$ for PS3/360 though.

you have no excuse, you know very well I'd gift it to you for 3.74USD in my paypal

 

[Mussels]

with the game copying thing, two facts.


1. you gotta patch the game up to date too.

2. the new steam UI is counter intuitive, and drops to 0% as it verifies.
it may say 'downloading' and then download 2GB in about 5 seconds as it verifies it.
