saberhagen83 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Si are being sensible because Steam does do a better job of sharing out, meaning you don't get the days like 2005 where the forum and site would crash thanks to the amount of people. Give it a go, you say it would blow but I have played on worse, believe me. My laptop was an old steaming crapfest last year and I ran the full game fine on steam on a train to Devon!!! Give it a go, take your mind off the funeral and have fun, you might just find faith in steam again and see SI are just saving the stress of "oh damn the forum is crashing, I want this download so much"!!!(And strangely, I have a funeral same day, so will be thinking of you because of that!) Well I actually think torrent is a brilliant way to share files (direct download however is ancient and slow), and the demo will be all over the net in a matter of moments so the sharing just becomes easier and easier by the hour. I always get max speed through that system. Don't have Steam and have no desire to have it either, and no it's not cause I've had problems with them I just don't have any use of it. That said, I'm not at all fussed about waiting another day to grab it via torrent. There are other things to keep me occupied on a thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazsmith6 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I've had one or two minor issues with steam, but on the whole I think its a good thing, I live in a place where I just can't go out and buy a game on a whim, so ebay or steam are the usual options for me. Also steam has some very good deals. All of the COH games for a fiver once, absolute bargain. While I can see that people wont touch it for whatever reason, give it a go fellas (and gals). As for the demo, this is the first time I've really looked forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As somebody as already said, how hard would it be to set up a torrent download on the Thursday also? I bet the majority of people would download via Steam or Torrent anyway so that would leave the website clear. I probably will give Steam a go, just for the Demo. I'll be buying the DVD on release. Will I need to be connected to the net constantly while im playing the demo as that would be a problem on the train. If there is an offline mode like the full game then that would be ok i suppose.

Any help would be great? It would be hard, or we'd be doing it. You need the net connection to download and install Steam's client (it's tiny) and to download the demo (that will be bigger). After that, you run Steam once, set it to "Offline mode", and never need to use it online again - so no issues on trains etc. Simples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi could you help in the op miles said "I would advise that if you’re looking to grab it quickly, that you download the Steam client in advance, which is available at www.steampowered.com, and then you’ll be just a couple of button clicks away from being able to grab it."

GraemeHall Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I am pretty sure as soon as the Steam Demo is released someone will find a way to upload to to various sites on the Thursday.

reflection22 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yea, what's the difference between them uploading the strawberry demo to steam and them uploading it via torrent or direct download? Surely the strawberry demo is the strawberry demo? Or are the steam and torrent/direct download versions totally different? Not really bothered, I don't mind installing Steam for a few days, just wondering. Whats so hard with uploading the torrent on thursday. Looks like STEAM is paying you for that.

Twellman24 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 `At the end of the day, these things like having one of the demos released on Thursday instead of both on Friday are the type of things one needs to remember when it comes to being patient because of a setup error or something happening on release date. I for one really appreciate the effort to give a little early gift to the FM community. Thanks guys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
