I realise I must be very lucky. I have been reading the horror stories here for weeks, so today I finally - with some trepidation - got round to putting the DVDs in the drive and setting up the game. I must say it all went lucky clockwork; the Steam process was faultless, downloaded updates very quickly, and got through the download from the disks quickly. I was soon playing the tutorial battles, and being blown away by the graphics! It is certainly the most complex TW game I have played, but gradually getting the hang of it.
