TNX, but that doesnt work, even C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.exe does not work actually, very strange

 

[ukhazard]

You replaced the links with where you have steam installed, and the dvd drive, right? That link is the default for 64 bit windows. Mine actually would be c:\steam\steam.exe

i dint copy anywting from your board, i copued my own url in win, added .exe and the argument, it cannot locate the folder, why? Probably steams fault, through 10yr or so that program has ONLY been trouble

I am also having the same problem, the installer for some reason only installs 2.4GB even thought there is 6.85 GB on the disk, now i have to wait ages for it to install.

can we get an update/sticky/something to show that this is being looked into, there are already a million threads on problems with installing from retail.

I have exactly the same problem. I find it disgraceful that this have happened. I have also already tried that -install thingy, did not work.

That's not a bug or problem, it's a feature.
A while back I remember a thread/twitter-post from one of the Devs saying they didn't include the game's code on the disc - because they were still working on it (duuuuh).

They worked on it up to release and are still working on it, there's no way the disc can possibly hold the game's code

Just download it, not a big deal eh ;-)

 

[L3HR]

I am not sure that i understand you entirely but i consider it a problem that i cannot install with the disc i have bought. My internet connection is really poor and that prevents me from downloading the game.

At least it shows up in your library. When i install it I get a message saying that it's in my library and to continue the installation after i double click it, HOWEVER, the game is not even in my frickin library. All I have is a disk with a game that won't even install properly.

Doesn't work cause the game doesn't even show up on my Libary List of Games, 41-45 does. I got the Deluxe version.

I'm having the same problem as you guys. The installation disc has 6,62 gigs of stuff inside it, but the screen with "Installing: Remaining 1 years" (lol by the way) says that it's going to install only 474 Mb worth of stuff. So far it has installed a magnificent amount of 0 megabytes. I bough the DVD version precisely because I don't want to download 8 gigs with this connection. This thing doesn't even suck. It does nothing. Except it does make the CD/DVD drive to make a humming noise.

 

[Radsoc]

I had the same experience. They didn't have time to put the game stuff there so they dumped some random files on the DVD and sold it like that?

It is a big deal if you have a slow connection and you ordered retail because of this. It is taking me ageeeees to dload it and I did not expect to be in this situation.

No it tends to happen with steamwork games where it want's to download the game from steam instead of installing whats on the disc first, it does that all the time for my Orange Box and Left 4 Dead disc.

Hi folks ! Have exact the "install from disc" issue as "quote" here.
When I look at the backside of the box it says that it is not the UK version or more exact " not for supply in the UK" I live in sweden and it always have been UK version from this part of europe...

 

[kuopassa]

ROsplayer, I think you have the same version as I do. Mine also says in the backside that Not for supply in the UK. I didn't find any solution on how to install via DVD, so had to download the whole thing.
