danfrodo Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Steam folks, does Steam cause any burden on your computer? I used to play Assault Squad which I purchased via steam and it always seemed that steam caused nothing but trouble for me -- like would hijack my boot up and cause it to take forever. So I have never wanted to go back. Do y'all have any issues w steam? I am guessing this no longer occurs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all that own the base game can get it for free. I don't think you owe me anything, "people want things for free" is not the appropriate form to deal with my criticism of charging for patches, or making them free via a platform, yet still charging full price (I would understand server costs) for them if people can't use that platform. You've got a community here who post every day and help your other customers and talk up your games and make maps and skins etc. etc. without having to spend a penny either. Either way I didn't intend to gum up this thread with a rant, it has run it's course and I think we've both said what we wanted to say. Time to cook for the evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't play any CM via Steam (yet), but no, I don't have any such issues with Steam for other games. It doesn't load until I ask it to for one thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireship4 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) You shouldn't have to delete it, just make sure Steam is pointed at the right folder, delete the .exe and then tell Steam to recheck the game files. That should work if the folder structure and the files are the same, and any differences should result in replacement. The game files in your user/documents folder might need moving too, I'm not sure. Worth a try at least, if it saves you time.

No, it just runs in the background and has no impact on windows boot up and/or performance that I can notice. With that said I do have a high end machine (i9, 32gb, ssd), but over all the years I have been using steam (always started with windows boot up) it hasn't caused any problems for me. You can also disable Steam from starting up with windows and only run it when you need it for playing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumboots Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) 12 hours ago, gregb41352 said: My copy isn't listed on the Slitherine "My Page". I purchased it directly from Battlefront if that makes a difference. 'Slitherine' doesn't know you bought the game on Battlefront. It knows about the licence key and is waiting for you to identify yourself. On My Page you need to do a search for the game and then enter your key. Edit: The game will then appear amongst your games. Just click the 'Steam key' button and your Steam key should appear.

Stardekk Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) I have entered the key code in steam and it says some one already activated the code.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) That's exactly the issue.....Which is supposed to be correct, the briefings, or the force the player actually gets? While old hands are forearmed and can work their way around some of these issues, for a player new to the game and given the already not inconsiderable difficulty of this campaign, I think it could prove disheartening.

Artkin Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Its about time the best game made it to Steam. The only reason I am not kicking and screaming is because the version is different, and I "legally" own my Bfc copies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
