Ok it seems having the disc version and a Steam version of the game is now screwing me over. I install the DVD version, and when I click "Play Game" it reverts me to my "Uplay" account. This then says "We'll now open up your Steam version of the game" and it starts DLC after I uninstalled the Steam version.
So here is my next idea, should I partition my hard drive, one with just this game on it, and the other with Steam on it, where a majority of my games are, so I can play my Steam games on the main part of the hard drive and just the Disc version of this game on the other?
I don't see anyway around this short of uninstalling Steam, or partitioning my harddrive and not even acknowleding to the disc or uPlay, that I have a steam version of the game. I even deleted the Steam version and it still knows I have the Steam version and automatically forces me to play that version of the game.
edit: Even tried logging into a rarely used Steam account that doesn't have the game on it, and it takes me to Steam's store page where I have the option to buy a 3rd copy of the game, also Steam.
Getting this game to work may require a larger hard drive, if I'm gonna have to partition it out to one without steam. Sure is a lot of work just to play one game, but I don't give up in the face of a daunting challenge like this too easily.
Update: Im now uninstalling the disc version, I'll read over the link. This will be about the 6th uninstall/reinstall of the game today, between my Steam account and Disc version of the game. I'll read over the uninstall guide.
Heres the problem I've been facing. It downloads the patches, and I think once they are all downloaded, it automatically links me to my Steam account and directs me to it there, or the store on my STEAM account that I didn't purchase the game on. So, if this doesn't work, I'm gonna uninstall Steam, damn the torpedos if I have to redownload my whole library of games again (Computer needs a reformat badly anyways).
