Stem Problem

I am trying to download the patch via steam. Once I start steam, it says "updating steam platform" and it takes a while and the progress says 28% then after like 10 mins it goes up to 30% and then it shuts down. Anybody having the same problem?

Also, can apply the patch another way? Thank you in advance.

Hello? SI?

Now after waiting for almost an hour it reached 88% and then back to 28%??

At least post a patch for steam users.

Steam should automatically update the game. If it does not you can probably apply the patch in the normal way as well.

It sounds like it's updating a newer version of its software. Nothing to do with FM.

This would an issue you have to take with Steam, not with SI.

why use steam anyway????

dont you guys know what happened with EA....

after buying a game from them thay turned around & said that thay would only hold onto your game for 3years & then you would need to pay £5. for them to hold it on there server for another 3 years?

dose a box version take up that much room in your house lol.

plus game companys only want you to download games so that thay dsont need to pay diskmakers anymore.

SI told us how great Steam was and how fast their download, so it has to do with SI.

I can't. SI says DON'T apply normal patch on Steam FM and it would make the game stop working.

It hasn't as it is Steam updating itself. If I have the opinion that Steam is good (which I am not saying I do as I don't use it) like SI might, it does not mean that it has to do with me.

And there are other options as well as steam. I also said above that you don't to have steam running when playing the game anyway and I would be pretty sure that you can install the patch manually if you like even if you activated through steam or bought the game through steam.

I always buy games through Gamers Gate and I never had a problem. I didn't know Steam was so F***ked up.

I can't. SI says DON'T apply normal patch on Steam FM and it would make the game stop working.

I did not know about that. Have you bought the game through steam or just activated through steam?

I bought it through Steam because SI RECOMMENDED it.

Uhm, no.

When you buy a game through Steam, you download the game. It's in your computer. You can unregister and uninstall Steam afterwards if you wish and still be able to play whatever games you got through Steam (unless you're playing online Valve games like Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead).

If you're having a technical issue with Steam, you have to get in contact with Steam. SI can't help you out, anymore than they can help you out if you have a problem with a retail store on the street.

Steam is excellent tbh, been using it for years with no problems.

Have you actually started the game up to see if the patch is installed?

Start game, start new game and see which database it uses.

Same here. It's had problems at first, but those have been completely taken out now. I have never seen people whine about Steam here than in any other game forum.

Close Steam, delete the ClientRegistry.blob file in your Steam folder, then restart Steam. See if that helps.
