okay, right now iam downloading TOV thru steam.. now i dont know much about this, it seems as if you have to run the game thru steam?

when i finish this download, does it actually install on my pc? or what?

if not, how would i get EIRR to work with it?

[Artekas]

You are downloading the game to your PC, where do you think it is going to install? The internets? That wouldn't even be possible.

You also do not have to run the game through steam. All you are doing is buying a game from the store. That's all. There's nothing special going on.

i was reading their posts and stuff, made it sound like it was installed in a special place, not normal like retail.. they also say do install patches thru retail?

[Artekas]

No, don't do patches through retail. You are downloading an already patched game.

It's installed in a different folder, that's not what I would call a special place.

so how do i get Eirr to work? just point it to a diff folder?

[Artekas]

Yes.

Its a little different to other steam games - as in, you dont need to launch via steam.

Thus EIRR works fine

[Artekas]

The only games I've ever seen that require steam to launch are valve games which run on Steam and a select few games (most notably the recent CoDs) that use Steam as a form of DRM, and I buy basically everything I can on Steam.

Dude, when its done downaloding, its then installed by either steam, or through relics orignal setup.

After its done first check to see if

C:\Program Files\THQ

Has a folder called company of heroes or similair if so, EIR:R will basically auto point to it.

If there isnt, then check the

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common

If its installed there point the EIR:R installer there. Obviously with the "company of heroes" bit added to that line, or whatever the equivelent folder is called.

STEAM COMES FROM THE VERY DEPTHS OF HELL I SAY! But i have to use it, or i cant play legal versions of dawn of war 2 or nopoleons total war. Those games deserve to be payed for. Shit games dont

Actually bad games do, as alot of time was spent making them. But some people just dont have the money to spend on them.

I bought COH from steam. COH:OF from a local store (DVD) because it had discount. TOV was from xfire store also because of value discount I had.

Once I installed COH with steam, I only had to put in the other expansion keys. Didn't install anything else.

COH patched with the latest version has all the content. Features are unlocked with the keys you have.

[Mgallun74]

well, i install steam COH.. i logged in and copied down my Gold Edition CD Key.

uninstalled all the Steam crap, which looked like a freaking mess to me.
then reinstalled Gold with my CD key and ran all updates. all ok now. 

so, cost me 10 bucks, but oh well.
