Not Available On Your Current Platform?!?!

So I recently bought the complete pack of the GTA series (PC), and they all downloaded perfectly, except Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA III. When I try to install them, I get an error, saying that the games are not available on my platform...? Could someone please explain?

The second copies are for Mac users. I hid them just by choosing "Installed" games instead of all. Hate this s#!@

FALSE ALARM, the reason why it wasn't working is because i was looking at the Mac version, not the PC version. IT'S ALL GOOD NOW, FOLKS!

Indeed. Just to go a bit further:

There are two install options. The game is installable on both the Mac and PC platform. During the install, you have the option of unchecking one or the other. If you do not, both are left checked on, (Install to Mac and PC). This results in one of the platform installs happening, and the other not happening.

In your games Library, you should see two entries for this game. One is installing - the other is not. The one that is not installing was for the other system platform you do not own.

Hope this helps.

But how do I remove the Mac version installer from my Games list?

Here's a better tip right click on the game and choose "..category" name it "MAC" or what-ev and then add all those games into that category. Then they will be in there own category that you can minimize and never see again.

^ What this guy said. I have a similar folder I've been using a while now. If you sort your games into genres or some other way, you could throw junk games in a folder marked X and it'll just end up at the bottom of your list and you will never be bothered by them agian.
