yes I know, "I don't do Steam" ... well, I bought a couple of games that "need" :confused: Steam. :confused: :rolleyes:

So! how do I fix their servers. :sleep:

The games do play, but I cannot update or get the free 'DLC' ... I really not liking this (insert lots of swear words here)


:(
 
Last day of the holiday sale, servers are probably getting hammered.

Try again later, after 6pm or tomorrow. ;)
 
:rolleyes:

yeah, right!

A bit stupid to have 'accounts' on the same servers as the Shop ... especially as there is nothing wrong with the Shop. :rolleyes:


:rolleyes:
 
thought I'd just check before I go to bed ...

"Error 503 Service Unavailable"


:lol:

Why?

Why do I have to jump through hoops to fix Steam's short-sightedness. It is, apparently, a normal 'thing' to have no access to your account when there is a Steam sale on ... sorry, but to me that is a pretty stupid state of affairs. I'm sure a Steam could get a couple of extra servers to deal with the crush, apparently not! :rolleyes:

and

as the Yanks are now in bed, I have access once again! Shame I still cannot find where I redeem the code for the 'free' DLC that came with the game I bought. :(

What I though was notification I could download my add-on, turned out to be some spam about trading cards I cannot use. :rolleyes:
 
Click 'Games' at the top, activate your code via that menu.
 
err, yous gonna have to be a bit more explicit ... I found the menu 'game' and, now what?

I click the icon, click games, then ... ??

oh, 'angon ... activate product on Steam ... in that menu

one sec.


well I'll go to the top of our stairs

So what did you buy ? Must have been good to make you go through all that Steam trauma. :lol:

I bought, Europa Universalis IV having played EU III (didn't need Steam to stay installed) off-n-on for some time ... they done a lot of work on improvements to the game. :)

I spend more time paused than letting it run. :lol:

oh, and it works on Linux, so at least when Windows id done, I still have a game to play. :D



ah, thanks for that FBS, explains a lot!
 
Ah DERP DDos'ed Steam too? W*****s. They've been doing EA, LoL and all sorts for the past week or so... Silly little kids.

Righty ho it looks like a good game for a rpg. Once you have registered and installed games from Steam you can usually play them in off-line mode if that helps. :cool:
