i have but its only patched up to 1.3. how to i get it fully patched up, this site advises against updating the game manually as its supposed to happen automatically.

and how is modding affected? the game path is different now.

I also have the steam version, and with the departure of Jamie from SCS I think I'm going to try downloading and manualy patching the steam install. Has anyone else tried this? I know Jamie said that they two versions are identical, the only problem was getting steam to recognize that DW needed to be patched.

Don´t try to manually install the patch (at least is the info I´ve got from STEAM). See below:

We're still working to get the steam patch up. I'll let you know as soon as it's ready.

I wouldn't ever purchase a Steam game. It has got to be the most intrusive service ever devised for the internet / computer based world.

Here are some snipets on Half Life 2 for example from a quick Google search on the subject:

Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a boxed version instead of downloading whatever steam game you want to own.
