Hi Folks

Kinda new to this steam thing. Can someone please help me in explaining how to go about downloading/installing the much anticipated patch.


My current version is showing as 1.00.13954



Many thanks in advance.

You have the latest version of the game.

When you were not looking steam updated the game :0

Steam seems to be a good thing, I was very wary of it, but the fact it automatically updates your game etc seems OK to me ;) :cool:

So much for all the prophets of doom before the game release :grin:

Yeah I'm glad people get the feel for it.

Essentially it's like google in the world of search-engines. Or skype or msn messenger in the world of chat/communications. Widely used, widely approved and been around for a decade now almost. It's my online portal to downloadable games. I have a large list of games and anytime I want I can select a game, delete local content to free up space, and next time I install it still has my savegames :) I also believe you can write a DVD image from your steam games so that if you swap computers you actually don't have to re-download the games :) I don't bother cause I have a good connection, but for other people on budgets it's a good solution.

Cheers!

When you get STEAM and actually use it for a while you'll realize there are some very good features.. one thing I love is that I can add a new HDD or reinstall my OS to get rid of all the clutter and just log into my STEAM account and it automatically re installs ALL my game content.. thats a HUGE convenience..

Could you please explain it mate? I am planning to upgrade my system and i do not know what exactly should i do. Game and steam in the second harddrive and i only will format first one which OS loaded. Should i uninstal and reinstal the game after upgrade?

Your Steam account will know what games you have. Which is why you can go to your games library right-click a game and select delete local content. The game will be greyed out, buy you can download it at anytime again.

WOrks the same if you buy a new HDD/SSD. Just install steam, log in with your account details, when you look at your library you'll see all your games.

You just have to right-click and select install game. When it finishes you can play it.
