It's not Steams fault AoA, for example I have the games Skyrim and Empire Total war on DVD. Both of those games installs from the DVD but they activate through steam and update through steam, the best thing though is that if your DVD breaks for some reason, you can still install your game by download from Steam. It's a great system, you're provided with game updates automatically and you can install your game(s) on multiple computers.
Problem wasn't steam, problem was that the publisher (ubisoft and 1c) for some unknown and stupid reason decided to release a steam activated game DVD without the actual game on it, don't ask me why because it's the first game I've heard of to do this.

Once you've installed CloD you just have to backup your "\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.
After you've set up a new rig you just have to download and install steam. Then put your backed up "\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" back to where it belongs and you're done. Things are easy. Really. No need to buy a DVD version. |

You guys do realize that steam has a very nice backup function built in, right? Right click on your game -> Backup game files, choose your compression and it'll create a self installing .exe for you that you can backup to a dvd, multiple cds, NAS, you name it. You can even backup multiple games into the same .exe if you feel like it. Just a thought.

But I was not looking for a backup.. I back it up like Foobar said.. When I do a PC cleanup.. That is after a year or so things get so messy.. Or if I am having issues that no one else seems to be having.. Than I re-format the drive and reinstall the OS and do a clean install of all the games.. You know to do the registry and all that goes with it. A truly clean slate ![]()
