FX2 table keys into FX3?

[snowdrop]

I have FX3 and am new to it. I have bought a couple of FX2 tables (Steam dlc keys) but have never played FX2 before, nor have I used the keys before. I now want to import those tables into FX3.

This seems immpossible, as Steam asks me to install FX2 first BEFORE activating my FX2-table keys.

Is there any way to actually download and install FX2 at all, legally on Steam, so I can activate my FX2 keys in order to activate those tables in FX3? Or is there some way to activate my FX2 keys directly into FX3?

Now That is a good question.

This is the situation you'd end up in if you managed to buy a key from of those second hand sites, like G2G etc.
Or if you got a key gifted, for example the steam group I play weekly's on, have/had? several tables in the prizes pool. What would happen if someone won a fx2 table but doesn't have the base game.

Is it possible for Zen support to give out a key for the base game?? or how would that even work?

Open any web browser and paste steam://run/226980 into the address bar.

Really??? That was unexpectedly easy to fix.

I suppose you could make a desktop shortcut with the same url or type it into the windows search

It definitely works, I checked before posting. As long as the game hasn't been removed from the download DB, you can always install using the steam://run/"AppID" command even if it has been removed from the store.

You shouldn't have to create any kind of shortcut, it will work like any other game once installed.

Manc: Thank you! Solved all issues =)

1) What you suggested allowed me to download and install FX2 (but had to try 3 different browsers as most weren't linked to Steam and did a search instead , ).

2) After that I could activate my tables for FX2 by using my steam keys.

3) End result was those tables appearing automatically in FX3.

Thanks again!

Awesome!

I just mentioned the desktop shortcut, since the installer would put one there anyway (unless you tell it not to), and incase the browser didn't cooperate.
