Steam/Dues Ex HR problem

d_brennen · 17 Sep 2011 at 19:49

Got a copy of Dues Ex HR via coupon, added it to my Steam account (at work as I have rubbish broadband at home) downloaded it and copied the dues ex - human revolution folder from my work PC to an external drive. Copied this into my C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\<user name> folder at home along with the config files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps and started Steam up.

Steam wants to download the whole thing again, which will take all weekend :confused:

Any suggestions?

You could try adding the game to steam as a none steam game and try it then.

Thanks, tied that, just says it is unavailable at this time, try again later.

Going to try deleting the client registry now

Deleting the client registry didn't work, verifying local files just leads to the download starting

It says 1% now, downloading at 80kbps lol, hope you are right!

Might have to lug my PC to work lol

Dues?

Ignore the 1%, that's just how much you've done of the remaining download since you restarted Steam. How much is left to actually download?

Yeah I can't spell either

Anyway, solved my own problem, I am indeed a pleb.

Folder was supposed to go

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

I put it in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\<user name>

Moved it over and Steam "downloaded" it at about 1GB/s

Don't have any time to play now doh!
