Problems with install? - Steam download even with you having DVD?!? - read up

Im sure tons of people will have the same problem.

You have the demo of your steamaccount, bought DVD and now you try to install it, but STEAM starts a download.

Now this problem is caused by the demo you have on your account and the Autostart function of your Computer.
Just go manually on your DVD-drive and start the install from there manually.

Thats it! After install you go online on steam and get the patch.

So the procedure is:

1. Exit Steam
2. Insert Disc
3. Cancel autostart
4. Explore DVD
5. Double-click setup
6. Follow install instructions
7. Start Steam and wait for patch download
8. Play

Yes. Thats the way or you uninstall the Demo and also delete the files related into the "Use/folder".

Thanks. I'll be sure to do that when the game arrives.

It starts installing from the DVD here, but suddenly the message

"Steam Error - The Steam servers are currently to busy to handle your request. Please try again in a few minutes."

After that, nothing happens... WTF, I want to install from a DVD, not over steam, right?!
OUTRAGEOUS !!!

Than it starts downloading in the steam games library...

Basicly, you have to change the server where steam downloads from; my default server was located in Frankfurt, Germany, assumingly 40 km from my location.
I now switched to Thailand, and it seems to work.
Thailand, oh lovely Thailand
