Mark67539 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've installed FM2010 through the boxed game, then activated through steam so I can get the automatic downloads, but Steam says the game is not installed. It is installed I'm playing it right now. When I try to open it from steam, it starts a new installation even though I already have it on my computer. How do I get steam to recognize I've already installed the game from the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlobben Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I dont think you can first install with the offline installer, and then activate it in steam. For steam to recognize it as a steam-game you would have to select the steam option when installing OR enter the code in steam Someone will surely arrest me if im wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark67539 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 I put my activation code in through the activate a product through steam button, but steam says FM2010 is not installed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark67539 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Correct..... Ok thanks, just seems strange I have to wait for a 30 minute download through steam, when I have the dvd right in front of me which takes about 2 minutes to install. Game looks fabulous though.
