ShirazS Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hi Guys, I have ordered the game from Steam and am paying alot to download it as broadband prices are pretty high here in South Africa. What I want to know is, Can I download it once and back it up to be installed on a different PC? As I intend to but a new PC soon. Or do I have to download the game again? Thanks in advance.

baker.simon Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 You log into your Steam account on your new PC, you will then have to dowload again (obviously not having to pay this time though). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirazS Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 That is not good news... Because it is costing me alot of money for the bandwidth to download the game. Will I be able to cancel my order with Steam and get a refund? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShirazS Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 I just found the option! Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirazS Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 I have another question, I remember Steam allowed people to start downloading the game earlier than the release date last year but the download would then stop at 99% and only complete on release day. Will this be the case this year as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
