Haha.. yea, I've heard even worse complaints about EADM. So, compared to that Steam Client is still great. But I feel the GamersGate method is best.

Yea, I understand DD is the future and fully support it. I love the steam platform as such. My gripe is with the performance issues in the client. The client is not good enough. Especially the downloader part.Roxtin said:

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
I did the same thing with COD BO. Who would want to download the same thing twice?
But I didn't work with borderlands.
Anyways its worth a try, install your game backup, let steam download the game till it hits 1%, exit steam, copy your backup to the steam game installation directory, start steam, and maybe your download % improves.
Good luck.
In most cases, you can do that.baccilus said:

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
This method worked for me for a couple of games. Dirt2 and Mass Effect. But, its not like it gets done instantly. Steam still took almost one whole night to verify the contents. Still, its way better than having to download the whole thing from steam.jojothedragon said:

The content Intergrity verification is bound to happen, since it needs to validate the files and make sure it has all data needed to run the game efficiently. It's worth a try.

^^ A bit hard to predict, size required on disk is 12224 MB approx, but download will be compressed, So actual download will be quite less

Well, if you don't have a back-up copy of it already, then experimenting makes no sense. So what you did was rather wise.baccilus said:
Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
Yep. The main game is around 6-7GB in size, while the DLC's (combined) take around 6GB, with larget being Knoxx's DLC, which alone weighed around 4GB.baccilus said:

BTW, who all are going to be playing this with me?
There are 4 expansion packs included in the GOTY edition. I was thinking I would have to download all the expansion packs separately. BTW, I just got home to the message that "Steam servers are currently busy, please try after some time". This is so *ucking stupid. I left my computer switched on all day to come back home and see this message.adi_vastava said:

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
Two big thumbs up for Bully from my side. It's audio and other minor issues aside, the game is fantastic. Trust me, it will keep you glued to your chair/couch/bed throughout the session. It's definitely must buy for that price, which is hardly 180 bucks right?

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
Was wondering since its about 6 years old. Any driver issues with Win 7 64 bit?Ethan_Hunt said:
Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
Yes it does. The 360 controller has native support.
I have tried it on Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate edition and there were no issues, except for crappy sound problem, which could be fixed. I had completed the game on the PS2, so had tried the PC version just to check if it had a higher frame rate or not. It's capped to 30 by default, however, the last time I checked, a member on Rage3D forum had developed a fix to remove that cap. I haven't tried it yet, but you could have a go at it. Initially, the PC version had received a lot of flak in terms of technical issues . There was a patch which came out later on though. I didn't encounter any major crashing or other nuances back then.

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
I'll quote a post from Digit forum user who has mentioned how the retail DVD install should work for your Steam purchase:
So you can try this out and check if it works for you as well. Good luck!
