Quake 4 without Cd-Key by Steam

[Moloch]

I've bought Quake 4 by Steam and doesn't have any Cd-key!! Someone had the same problem?

[Nick Bluetooth]

I also have that problem.

[Smokey]

what do you need it for?
you can still play all game modes..

ps. even getting a new pc and move country you can still play all your steam games,
even if you did delete all of them "then you just have to download those again :)

+ this game did not need any product key when you got it from steam the first time!
so why next?

[zilipe]

install it, the key should be in the quake4 base dictionary called "quake4key" or something like that, open the file in your prefered text editor. Same for doom3. ;-)

[i8UrBabies]

The game doesn't have a CD key.

Edit: Nevermind, had to Validate Game Files and Steam downloaded the required CD key automatically.

Hi,
I talked Bethesda of the problem that Doom 1,2,3 and quake that have official Linux versions since a long time ago aren't available on steam for Linux. An employee answered me and said he has talked about it to his manager, but I'd better contact Steam also. Ps : Quake 4 also Mac support but not on Steam.
If we want a Linux support for those games that already has one (but not on Steam) everybody should write to Bethesda and Steam support. Here is the Bethesda mail : "ESO English Support" <[e-mail]>
