Steam is ruining my game. Thanks for everyone's help but Steam did not take into account those users who don't have a good internet connection.
It took me four days just to "Activate" it and update it.
Thanks all, but the next time I see stupid Steam, i'm running away.

Yes, well if you are forced to eat nothing but rice and don't have much of a choice it will have to do. But its bad if you can remember the good ol days. Poor analogy, i know. |
The problem is with my internet connection which is basically non existent. But with my PC there cannot be found fault with.
Its got an i5 2500K CPU
Intel P67 Motheboard
16GB DDR3 memory
1TB Hard drive for the WIN 7 OS
MSI 650GT
850Watt PSU
Not brand spanking new, but it gets any job done with room to spare.
Metro last light was on high graphics with only one or two stutters that was barely noticeable.

I'll try the stupid steam offline setting. It's still annoying as hell. Steam is ruining games in my opinion. We've got a couple of friends that do a offline lan party every month and Call of duty 4 and 5 are excellent. With call of duty 6 we had to download a pirate copy just to lan it offline, even though we all have legit copies of the game.
I wanted to persuade the fellas to get this as well but there is no way in hell they would. Or if they did I would be in for a pounding.
Perhaps I should wait and see if the pirates have a better solution, given time they probably will. - and then people wonder why there are so many people pirating these days and games get more expensive as a result. |
In my opinion the latest Company of Heroes 2 is falling very short comparing to the previous three. The first and second opposing front game I still play a lot and the third one not so much.
I was overcome with joy at the sight of a new COH game but alas it turned out as a gigantic waste of money and time.
Here are my biggest problems with it:
I like the campaigns, but love the skirmish mode. With COH2 it isn't possible as I have to be online. Which I can't as my internet connection is slower than a dead donkey.
To give you an idea of how slow:
I had to register to say this and upon registering the was a capcha but i couldn't even see it, just a blank box.
So no skirmish mode, add to that the horrific stutter that occurs every couple of seconds or so.
I want my money back but as it is a PC game the store thought that it took me 5 days (from date of purchase) to copy it and now want to get a full refund and still play the game, i cannot get my money back
Once again a glorious game ruined by covetous companies that are more worried about pirate copies than a awesome game. The first two were truly awesome, the third one could work in a pinch. but this CANNOT.
What I will do in future is get a friggin pirate copy and see if I like the darn thing before I spend my hard earned bucks on a utterly useless game. |
