barnsey22 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Why is Steam taking ages to download the game, when the game disk is in the computer? Surely it will be quicker to just read the disk? Why even have a disk if it's not going to use it? Pathetic imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The game will read from the disc but there will need to be a section of the game downloaded to complete the installation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If you buy the download version then it is all installed via the internet. If you buy the disc, the initial files are installed from the disc but the rest are downloaded from steam. It has been that was since steam was introduced.

barnsey22 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 So what happens if i have no internet access? Can I not play the game? Not to worry, an hour n a half after putting the disk in, it's finally installed Would have been quicker loading using a tape and an old Atari!!

You need internet access to install the game, After that you can go offline and play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 It's the modern world i'm afraid and like with most games, you will usually need to get on the internet to download updates and patches and the like. Fm is no different, it installs 90% from the disk and the updated content etc from steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
