im usually at university. high speed internet there and i play off my laptop.

It'll be in your steam directory. Default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire - Total War.

Note the x86 is because I am on a 64-bit OS, if you're not you will find the steam directory in the normal Program files.

thank you for this.

and i knew about the turn times being etw's fault i was just saying why i had to go thorugh all the bother.

its just annoying and i miss the good old days prior to steam or othe rplatforms.

If it makes you feel any better (it won't i know

) steam implementation in ETW is by far the worst i've ever seen in any game. Seeing as I own 65 games which are connected to my steam account.. i'd say that's saying a lot.

By and large for the other games I never notice it as a hinderance.

I too hate the Steam directory system, I don't know why they don't simplify it to make access easier. That said, I like Steam a lot. It's very, very fast and it's actually my preferred source for purchasing games these days.

Of course, none of that makes things less frustrating if it breaks for you. My condolences. I suggest uninstalling steam and then reinstalling it.

I hate any gaming distribution platform that requires itself to be running for your games to work.

Well... at the risk of getting wrath from the mods: [removed]

thank you for all your suggestions but the problem still remains that i need internet for all of these solutions.

so steam would probably say why dont you have access to the internet. My counter is, I shouldnt need internet for my video game.

and xiahou, precisely.......
