Ewanb75 · 20 Feb 2009 at 00:51

Ive already gave up, installed, and now updating at 7kb a sec... Thru steam...

Deep · 20 Feb 2009 at 01:19

Mine wont install.
I have bought the game, put the disc in. When it comes to installing i get an error after installing required components.

"The installation of this game failed to complete. Please try again"

What do i do?!

I have downloaded Steam and it makes no difference at all!

Possibly the servers are too busy ??

Just ran through the first four missions, I'm liking it thus far, very different to the original though. Not sure which one trumps the other.

Just installed it, claimed my Destroyer Wargear and now I'm off too sleep I will update and play it tommorow seeing how I just got out of a 4 hour Left 4 Dead session.

Great game, not really into warhammer but after hearing good things about this I thought id give it a go. Having a good time with it.

Ewanb75 · 20 Feb 2009 at 12:16

Well installed it eventually last night, waited for it to update (7kbs a sec) went to bed, and now at work, so may get to play it tonight...

hideki · 20 Feb 2009 at 12:31

can i ask, if you buy the retail version of this game, can it be added to steam as if it was purchased there?

i know with most games this cant be done.

thnx. i do prefer as many of my games in steam, and a few recent titles i bought retail like fallout3 cant be added.

Slinkie · 20 Feb 2009 at 13:22

I have bought this through steam and am having some problems. I am able to play skirmishes ok but I want to play through the campaign. Within 2-3 minutes of playing the campaign it crashes! I didn't really play DOW much so I want to play through this to get used to all the units etc before venturing online.

Is anyone else getting this problem

Spec if you need it

I believe so as Steam asks you for the key when you install. You can delete it and re-download it just like any other steam game.

I had some issues once the game installed where Steam kept trying to update the game... Im guessing that the server was too busy and kept boming out.

Played a few levels this morning and it is very different from the original. Liking it so far!
