Nikolaus Posadzki Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I do not have broadband connection, therefore I make my selection for games etc. carefully. It is taking me hours to get this game up and running.No where on the packaging in the UK version does it state that I would spend hours waiting for an on-line registration and update to be sent to me. I bought this game in good faith, to install on my PC and play.I resent the fact that this company has had me waiting hours, incurring £'s of internet charges before I can play. Is there any way I can install this game with a minimal of contact to this disreputable company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvinkun Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don't think you can. Took almost 5 hours for me, though it was because of Steam-collapse on 11.11. tho. But you do have to download a patch and a bit of the game, as well as the validation of files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 The Steam requirement is written on the box, it's just above the system requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrknSoul Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Took me about 20mins total from DVD insertion to Game start when I installed it a few days ago. Since they won't be four jabillion people trying to access steam all at the same time, Steam should download the patches in a reasonable amount of time.

People don't like to take responsibility and admit their ignorance and choose Steam as their scapegoat. :facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaus Posadzki Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 The Steam requirement is written on the box, it's just above the system requirements. It states an Internet connection only, no mention of broadband or the length of time it could take and costs incurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaus Posadzki Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 For those that replied with a query of how I view Valve/Steam: Not disclosing something on a product that could affect it's performace or change it's stated nature is "allegedly" illegal under UK trading Standards. Valve/Steam who distributed this product should have known better. As such they have bought the game-distribution industry, in my view into disripute. Personal view.
