How do I install CoN expansion so that Steam recognizes it?
« on: December 01, 2010, 03:58:45 pm »
Hey,

I bought The base game and Remenant expansion via Steam a while back.
Today I picked up the CoN expansion and LoS Expansion.
I downloaded the expansions to my computer, and installed but when I get to the AIWARS game menu, it doesn't give me a box to enter the CD key for CoN, stating that it hasn't been installed.

Can anyone walk me throuh the process, so that I can install and register these two new expansions to work under Steam?


Thanks,

Glass

For that, you should be able to bit "activate game in steam" in the steam menu, and type in your con key. Steam will then see you have the game, keep track of your key, and download the files for you.

Alternatively, you could download the installer for con from us directly and just install that to your steam directory for ai war. But the first way is probably simpler and preferable.

Hope that helps, and thanks for your support!

I've looked all over and I've yet to find an "activate game in steam" tab.
The only thing I can find is the key license tab when I initially load up the game.
This has a checked box next to Remenant, indicating ownership, and an open box next to LoS, to be checked.
However it has no box for CoN, and actually saya, CoN isn't installed.

So how do I get Steam to install CoN without buying the game again from them?

Thanks,

Sorry, that's a feature in the steam client, not in ai war. I'm not at my computer athenmoment so I don't remember exactly where it is in the interface (it recently changed), but it's either at the bottom of the library tab or in on of those menus at the top of the steam client (or both). Sorry for the confusion!
