Bullitt Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 sorry, a short question. But why do you guys want to get the Game on Steam? Wouldn´t it be better for you to get direct access to the game? Consider a server issue on steam servers, so you can´t play the game at all....just a guess. Steam does have an offline mode that allows you to access and play your steam games without an online connection. It has been a while since I've had to use this feature but I doubt it has changed.

EtherealN Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 True Bullit, but you need to specifically set it to that mode for that to happen, if memory serves. If your is set to online mode, and there's a server issue, you can't set it TO offline mode. :P Fortunately, I don't think if I've ever seen an issue take Steam down completely for me.

EtherealN Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Let Valve know, in a polite way, that you are annoyed at the inability to purchase BS2 through them. And I do mean polite. Rages never get anyone anything, but telling them that they just lost money might help. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisBelle Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I never ever...really...never ever would get Games like the DCS Series or ArmA via Steam. I always need controll over my purchased products and want to see them in an ordered folder structure on my seperated drive. But everyone as he likes it..

hawk2495 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You can install steam wherever you want. And the file structure is no different than any other install. Just buried a little. Just find your steamapps common folder, and make a shortcut on your desktop... It's actually pretty easy. I run ArmA2 CO with quite a few mods and have no issues with it at all. Why is the rum always gone!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisBelle Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 as I said...everyone as he wants...I dont mind steam at all. I got a bunch of games there. But not ArmA2OA/ToH and DCS.

lawndartleo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Why use steam when you can download and purchase right from Eagle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) For most other games Steam is the best because it keeps everything in a nice package as far as installing games and playing with friends, no need to keep up with serials and keys because it is stored in a convenient way. With me considering ED does all this for me and as Steam adds nothing unique or new to this collection I might as well cut out the middle man and go with the developer as I did in this case.

hog_driver111th Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 The only reason I see steam working for dcs sims, is for those who don't have a credit card.
