Medic88 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Ok i have a poor internet connection so got a friend to download the game for me from this site. I would then buy the game from here and start playing. I then found that steam was doing it for just a lil bit cheaper so bought it on steam 10 mins ago. what i want to know is can i install the version i bought from here into the steam folder so i dont need to wait 6 years for it to download off steam. I have my key if i right click the game from the steam games menu. Now i know you will say just install it as is then enter the key, but i like all my games in my steam folder.
159th_Viper Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I do not think so - Steam packages it's installers differently IIRC so it will not work by just dumping these install files and their installation in your Steam folder.

Medic88 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 well i gave it a try and would like to confirm that it does indeed work. What i did was start the download then cancel, then installed the game into the directory it made in steam, then right click the game from steam menu then click local files and Verify integrity of game cache. It then did a small update and that was it. Game runs great from steam and no need to spend weeks trying to download the game......... Now to spend weeks reading the manual 2

Now to spend weeks reading the manual Starting that download was surely the key. They must create all their links and whatnot right at the beginning. Definately, good information to file away.

Medic88 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 What got me thinking it would work was my direct to drive version of il CoD installed into steam and was then picked up by steam after a small update. so it looked like it did the same with my install of A10 after i let it create the folder for it
