SSGTroyer Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 1. I searched for "Foot" and it came up in the top of the suggestions... 2. US $39.99 3. Yes, save the changes in the .exe to accomodate the achievements (I imagine). 4. Any you have Steam installed on, though SI doesn't use SteamCloud, so you'd have to bring your savegame along on a flashdrive or some such, or play a different save. 4a. Keeping in mind you can only have your Steam account open on one computer in the world at any given moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindhoffen Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 1 - How do you buy via steam, do you go to the store and search fm2011 Yes. Or you buy the boxed copy and activate it through Steam. 2 - how much is it on steam 29.99 I believe. And they throw in an extra for you (Sega Megadrive Collection) 3 - does it download as normall and will all the programme files be the same? Yep. And you'll get access to the Steam achievement system that is linked to the game. 4 - how many computers can I use my game on? As many as you can afford, with the exception that only one of them can be connected to Steam at any one time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1 version will be running for me If a buy it at midnight bang on friday will it download then? You can buy it now, and download 99% of it right now (takes 20 mins or so...) When it is officially released (let's say midnight Thurs/Fri) - you can download the remaining 1% in the blink of an eye, and you're good to go.

mervynking Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I read in another thread that you don't have to be online with Steam to launch the application. The above answers seem to contradict this, as it implies there must be a connection to Steam. Which is correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quackje Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 This is really silly... All you have to do is convince steam you're in Australia and boom you get the game many hours in advance. If everyone lived in a bubble this wouldn't be a problem but this is a global community with a game released on a global platform that can easily let everyone have it at the same time and not create artificial waits for things.

bigfatcat Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Bah, I thought I had it tomorrow afternoon. No wonder your bloody game doesn't sell in America, you still mad at us about the Revolution or what, that we have to wait until almost a day after all the loyal convicts in Aussieland. I'm gonna kick up Civ 5, take the German's in a real world map and rewrite World War 1 without us 20 hours later guys coming across the pond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
