How to download/install the updates??

[Ropie58]

Hi guys,

I just bought me and installed the "Emergency112"-game on DVD. As I understood, at its startup, the "present" version number of the game being installed (now: 1.0.6106) is shown in the bottom right corner of the main screen (the Control Room). I know now that there are already 2 later updates to be downloaded. Could anyone please tell me how to have them downloaded and installed?

Also, can I play this game through Steam, just like my Emergengy-games which I downloaded and installed through Steam, or is it mandatory to keep the DVD inside the computer when playing because it was installed through a DVD?

My third and last question, now that I registered my purchase on Steam, would it now also be possible to have the game downloaded and being installed through Steam just like my Emergency games?

1) If you have it downloaded through steam you right click on the game, choose properties, beta tab and then choose to opt in for the beta version.

2) If downloaded through steam you don't need the dvd in the drive.

3) If you got a cdkey in the box somewhere you can try using that one to active the game through steam. But to be honest I have no idea if that will work some games it does and some it doesn't.

PS: And a merry X-Mas to you!

Hi, I'm sorry... Naturally a merry X-mas to you too! My wish also goes for all of our forum members as well.

Are you already familiar withe game? Do you like it? I find, when still being on the main screen, I find that my mouse arrow is suddenly gone (??)... Maybe it has to do with the fact that still the very first version of the game is being installed. I read that the game sometimes crashed right at the start. Maybe I need to install the two patches... I wasn't able to start playing yet.

BTW: Shouldn't updates being downloaded and installed by Steam automatically, just like with the "Emergency"games?

Hope to hear from you again.

Cheers!!

I haven't played a whole lot of it (because of The Division :)) but I do like the game. I haven't experienced any crashes myself since I owned the game but that's not saying it's the same for everyone.

Yes games update automatically on steam but patches for this game get released on the beta version first and after some time get patched into the normal version. So if you're not opting into the beta version (which is totally free and done like I posted earlier today) you're gonna have to be patient for bug fixes and new content to be patched into the normal version.

Thanks for your reply. Well, it all finally worked out fine. The moment I installed and registered the DVD version, I uninstalled it again and was able to download and install the Steam version of the game together with its patches. Now, I also noticed, that the number of the latest patch version is shown on the main screen. As far as I know now, no bugs.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers!!
