That I do too. Glad to know Paradox and GG are no more the same company.

I was actually surprised when i learned that, partly through this thread.

As for the downloader, are you sure it's nothing on your end keeping it from connecting? Might seem like a minor thing but a firewall with strict settings can ruin your day!

Just checked my Steam account, I have thirty three games and I've never had a problem with it.

I have a similar situation as i have 17 games in my steam account. Though no matter how great an experience i've had with steam it is what it is, some people have had terrible experiences with it and refuse to use it.*



*Froggy isn't the only one. Look up some posts in Parliament from around the time ETW was released. There was a huge bomb that hit of people having problems with Steam and getting the game to simply work right or download correctly. Some people still have trouble stopping the auto update process.

I can merely guess that it's trying to access the net through some IE backbone, which is in violation of the router's security measures. I believe a port should be opened up for it on the router, but that port number has to be known beforehand.

I told them about that possibility. They should take care of that.

Froggy had a problem with the one game she bought off Steam, you had a problem with the one game you bought off Gamersgate. So is one any better or worse than the other, or were you both simply unlucky?

Or you are simply lucky? I don't build up on single instances. The EU forum is crawling with posts with this or that kind of GG trouble and Steam's fame (or infamy) is also widespread on the net.

If there were only problems, then we might call it bad luck. But this is heaps of problems and absolute lack of support (without the very CEO or Paradox intervening); now, this is called insolence.

Should have used Steam...

You're getting off easy compared to the wild goose chase EA have me on right now.

Situation: I purchased and downloaded a booster pack to battlefield 2142. Wants me to activate, sure why not. Try to login, but the login system has changed from a username to email. So i use my email, which my username is linked to. It then asks me to enter a Classic Screen Name, i have no idea wtf that is, so i put in pevergreen.

Trying to activate the game, nothing. It wants a product key. I dont have one.

Long story short, I now have two accounts tied to my email, 'pevergreen' and the one i actually need to use. Theres an option to add an old account, but its apparently already in use, so i cant add it, but i have no way of finding where it is in use!

I sent a help request off an hour ago. They deleted it 25 minutes ago. It no longer exists anywhere.
The one I created at that time has not been confirmed as entered, im thinking its gone as well.
