getting SH4 through Steam

I doubt that Ubi is going to release another patch for SH4. Download the game, run it stock a few times. When it lets you play without downloading anything, you're patched up. Install whatever mods you want now

as far as i know... Steam checks the game files to make sure everything is in order, and tries to update if it is not... I don't know if the game will run (as steam has the habit of running when you try to execute one of its games) if Steam doesn't give the "green light" because it has detected a major mod.

---------------------
i don't wanna sound mean, (mostly because i appreciate that you are trying to help me, all of you) but... this might... and i apologize.

But I'd appreciate that some one who has actually downloaded it via steam answered me... and if no one has done it... then... then I'll just wait and think...

I should have mentioned. I used steam to download SH3. Currently running GWX 3.0 and no problems. Just keep your game in the steamapps folder and you should be okay. Make a backup first though, redownloading is a pain if you need a clean install

i won't download it right now tho... I'll wait until certain mod is released and kill "Ivans"* and "Jerrys"* at Red Orchestra in the mean time

* Ivan and Jerry aren't in any way used trying to offend Russians or Germans here.. but rather... as an "in-character" joke
