So getting the game on Steam is not recommended, correct?

CoffeelinFine · 04-21-16, 01:25 PM

Just wanna make sure. Is the Gold Edition download on Amazon okay though? Is that one compatible with mods and everything?

Hi CF
Anything other than Steam is ok.
Dvd would be the preferred choice.

Agreed... anything but Steam. DVD is best.

Use the link thru SubSim for Amazon and get it there. It helps support SubSim.

OK I read this after I bought the steam version ON the steam forums, but lucky I was still eligible for a refund, I heard someone talking about the pirate version, I have that too, but I tried to upgrade it an NO dice, I have no problem with getting this on a site gamersGate for the same price I got it on steam, $9.99 is this the only way mods will ever work?

It is the best way, since most of the mods were created around the DVD version.

Just a word of warning to the new guy, and a reminder to others, since it's been awhile since this happened.

OUCH OK so.... I use STEAM and just purchased a pack which includes SH5 which I am trying to get working.

First it tells me that some service is unavailable.
Now its saying it's already running. (That's a lie!)

So I come here and find out that it says not to buy on Steam?

I'd appreciate if anyone can let me know if the Steam version is actually OK and how I'd go about getting it working.

I've had a bit of a look around and can't find anything that is relevant.

I am running Win 10 and my PC well exceeds the required specs for the game.

Thank you.

PS. Hello everyone !
