Disc 2?????

[Raovake]

Ok so I bought this game for my fiancee, on disk, at walmart last night. We love the game. But, it came with TWO disks. Says Disk one, and Disk two.

For the life of us, we cannot figure out what disk two is for. What the heck is the point of it if we just run it through steam? what does it do?

Answers appreciated, as I spent awhile googling it last night and found nothing on it.

Put it in your PC and explore the disc..... You'll find out what's on it and answer your own question.

Found one other thread here on steam with someone who had it on disc, said he installed it through use of the disk but still had to download around 3GB (at that time) from steam.
I'm guessing the discs just contain the base game, steam downloads the updates and so you'll have less to download than someone who downloads the whole game from steam.

I'm surprised people still bother to buy disc games for PC. Wonder if it is actually still profitable to do so for developers.
Last time I bought a game on disc for the PC was 10+ years ago, if not more.

From my memory disc #1, installs steam on your computer, activates the game using code, and installs half of the game. Disc #2 (I’m assuming) finishes installing the rest of the game. Disc #2 did absolutely nothing when I inserted it and I had to install it all from steam. If you already have steam account and game activated, just install the game from steam.

Edit:
Like @WhiteWolf said, it’s just the base game and all the updates will still have to be downloaded from steam.

Alright thanks guys/gals. On her pc I started the download on Steam without realizing it. When I went and got myself one the next day I started it from the disk, again without realizing which I clicked on. I looked at it, it was different. Said unpacking now dowloading. So I cancelled it and then hit install on Steam. Same as on hers.

When I first got it for her I didn't realize it was on Steam. Later once I did, I checked the prices. Walmart had it for $10 less than Steam did. So i just went and got a second one at walmart. XD

Is it weird that I don't even have a CDROM anymore?

With how nearly everything is going to digital, I don't blame you. However, I myself will always try to keep as many disks as possible. If someone is banned for example, they lose all software, not hareware. That is the main reason I stick to disks, that and nastalga.

If your system has a DVD drive then you also have a CDROM drive.

Some of the newest ones don't have any optical drives.

some gamers prefer to have physical copies of games rather then digital so they can install it locally especially if they are in a location that has crappy internet

luckily I am not (xfinity here) my other 2 options would have been Dish or Direct TV and both sucks
