Greetings Good people,
I bought Deus Ex Human Revoultion as a physical DVD and started the install process, all fine until I had a virus.
I’ re-installed Windows XP pro and now Steam seems to want to re-install the whole anew on-line! Aaargh, (not very useful I know), is there any way of installing the core of the game and then choosing updates as needed?
I realize this is not really a question for Cecil’s vast brain so I hope mere mortals like us can help.
Happy seasonal stuff,
Peter
So you wiped your drive, re-installed Steam, and put the DVD in and hit install, or are you trying to install from the Steam menu?
You need to run the install from the DVD, not from Steam. Steam will try to download the game.
Now, if you use the DVD, it still might look like Steam is downloading, but pay attention to the progress. It should be going a lot faster than your download speed.
