Alrighty...so...I just got DoD:S about an hour or so ago...and I'm trying to install it.

First off, what does it do?

Installs a new copy of Steam (WTF?!) Then it proceeds to install itself to the new steam directory, without telling me that it's going to do that!

So...I back up a few paces...force install the "new steam" into the old steam directory that I've already got...and then I install DoD: S.

I try booting up DoD: S...and it hangs...And trying to open up just Steam doesn't work!

WTF!

I'm in desperate need of some counciling...cause...f*** I want to play my new game...

Anyone help?

Please?

Edit: I GOT IT WORKING! YAY!!! Disregard this thread! It's all good!

Nah, it's alright...I don't even know if this'll help it...

But if it does...then good!

If not...

yeah, unless if you scored a good deal @ the retailers then I'd just get it through STEAM. I got a pack of games and saved a bit of $$ on it.
