Melroseby Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Is there actually anything on the DVD other than an EXE file that opens Steam for installation there ? Game working fine but would have preferred to install files locally on my MAC from the DVD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Not possible, it does only run with steam activation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie BG Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It only runs with steam activation, but you still have to install/download the files to your local machine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeediuS Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 just to check...even if i get the dvd, i've got to download ~2Gb from steam? or can i install from dvd, and just activate through steam? (just noticed pre-order isnt coming till next week, so thinking of cancelling and getting via steam). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMan Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 You can install from the DVD and activate through steam. This happens if you allow the DVD to autorun. Should you enter the Activation code first into steam before putting in the DVD it will attempt to install through Download. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melroseby Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 the install file on the DVD just launches steam and installs via steam, can I put disk in again and install files locally on my machine ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicha_14 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I wish I could do this, postie usually comes at around half 10. Today nearly half 11 still not here just knew it would happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyzer Soze Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 One little question: I bought my game, DVD, can i change the instalation folder? Because i try to install, and dont give me the option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Because it's part of the Steam app you'd need to install Steam itself in a different folder to achieve that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluey1905 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I have installed from disc, now Steam is downloading what I thought was the update, but will take another 1hr 53 mins, surely it is downloading the whole game again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
