Foeofthelance Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've got a bad save in Dead Money, the result of the game deciding I'm not actually standing on the beam I'm standing on every time I load the file. I've got a back up that I can go to, but for a variety of reasons I'd prefer to just re-install the game and the latest versions of the mods I've got instead. (If that seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, now you understand why I've never finished the game!) The problem is that I've recently moved, and can find neither my disc nor the box with the CD key in it. Is it possible to just re-install via Steam, or would I have needed to purchase the game through Steam instead of my hard copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to make a fresh start then right click on the game in your library, select "delete local content" and that will remove the game. You can then manually clean up any left over mods from game folder before you have Steam download the game again, you don't need your disk or key because the game is tied to your Steam account.
