Steam or Non-Steam?

Highly recommended changing to a dvd.

You can select the German Language version through the custom install.

YES! BUY IT!

First, TDW's patcher is (pardon the expression) a complete game-changer. Currently at v162, most versions either add some new capability or fix a hard-coded bug. So you can see that the patcher offers a huge number of changes. As they say "Don't leave Kiel without if!"

Second, you can get a publisher"s version of the game, either download or DVD, from many places online for just $10. That's the cost of two extra large double mocha caramel lattes from your favorite caffeine dealer. At that price, it's hardly a question.

Ok, you convinced me.

I found a gold version on Gamersgate and on ubi.shop itself. I would prefer the latter, as I already have an account. Would it be ok?

Anything that isn't the Steam version should be fine. All are the same, AFAIK.

It's done, I bought a DVD version on amazon.co.uk. Thanks for the advice.

Now I can't wait!

I have a doubt though: is it possible to play without the DVD or does it have to stay in the drive at all time?
