WALKTHROUGH: How to Add UT3 to Steam

[Dark Pulse]

As long as the account has the ability to modify the attributes of files, it should work.

Ok then, thanks for the info! guys
:tup:

My question is, what is there to gain by associating the updated and patched version to Steam? Does that make Steam add the achievement features from the black version? If not, why let UT3 get anywhere near Steam?

 

[Dark Pulse]

When you put the patched version into Steam, it'll download a few extra files that will make achievements and steam stuff work, yes.

Are you JaFO in disguise or something? There's nothing wrong with Steam (except the time required to download stuff if you're on dialup... )

 

[Tealhawke]

Thank you I think I'll do without the achievements and Steam, though.

"(except the time required to download stuff if you're on dialup... )"

You think that's funny? IT KEEPS US FROM PLAYING THE GAMES. That's a joke to you, I guess, but half of American homes still use dialup. You don't see the advantage of being able to buy the retail game in a store like EVERY other game maker does? You don't see why I'm here asking for help?

It's because Steam is making people download the whole game. There are ways around that, I hear... but what's the point of a game? To have fun? Where is the fun in this?

You know, the green face is supposed to be a "tongue stuck out" face, not a "wheee this is funny, ha ha you're on dialup!' face. There's no reason to get so emotional over it.

It's because Steam is making people download the whole game.

What, do you want to download part of it and not play?

Steam isn't for everyone, no. But if you have the bandwidth for it, it works great. I just can't stand seeing people bash steam when it's not any fault of steam that is the cause of their trouble. It's not Steams fault that 8 gigs takes a couple days straight to download over dialup... Steam didn't make the game. Steam just provides games to people willing to download them over the internet. Is there really something wrong with that? Steam doesn't work for you... that's fine. Just don't bash it when it's merely not the service for you, rather than something that is dysfunctional.

So, I didn't have it installed. I gave steam my key, and let it install the game, patch, titan pack, etc. Finally tried to run it today, and it installed DX, OpenAL, and something else, and not when I try to launch via steam, it says...

"This game is currently unavailible.
Please try again at another time."
[OK ]

Now, my roomate has it installed through steam, and his logged on fine, despite prompting him for his key repeatedly. I restarted, verified the integrity of game cache, and still get the same message.

Li'l help?
