daylight Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Try verifying the game cache. right click the game in your library>properties>local files>verify game cache. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ich0902 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 oh right, i didn't buy last years now that i think about it ! thanks very much for replies ! so why oh why do we have to bother our backsides going buying a physical copy of the game from a shop or online store if we have to install the frigging thing via steam in the end ?! makes no sense at all !!

daylight Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Some people like the disk,others like to shop around and get the best price. The best news for everyone is it is now on Steam so all updates are done automatically so no downloading patches,it is all done through Steam,also SI can add the patches more often,SI can also be more flexible when it comes to patching so no more 2 or 3 patches for each release,they can add more patches and also sooner if they feel the need. In other words if they feel the need for a small patch that would normally have to wait until the next big patch they do not have to so this,they can send the data to Steam and the next time you start the game the update will be added.
