Can´t install the game from DVD

[3rd_rider_of_doom]

I bought the game on DVD because I have terrible Internet (40kB/s average download speed from steam). Now I have 3 DVD with all game data, but steam downloads the game instead of installing it from DVD.

I already tried to install the game in offlinemode.

Using Steam launch options to install retail games from disc

Log in to Steam and click on Library.
Right-click on the game, select Uninstall..., and then Delete.
Insert the first disc into your computer.
Close Steam (Steam > Exit).
Press Windows Key + R to open Run
In the Run window type:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E:

Replace E: with the CD/DVD drive you are installing from if is not correct.
Replace C:\Program Files\Steam if your Steam installation is not in the default location.
Press OK. Steam will launch and ask you to sign in if you do not have your password saved. Your installation should continue from the disc.

That doesn´t help. I need to explain what happens in more detail.

The setup starts the installation from the 1st disk. After "allocating disk space" but without installing a single bite, it asks for disk 2. Once disk 2 to is in, it immediatly asked for disk 3. Once that is in it starts downloading.

I have the same problem, is there any way to install the game from the disks?

Just buy the game and the same problem. The exact words.

Try to use the "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E: command and don't work.
I have installed from DVD before, so I know the correct path.
Begin to install, then quickly go to DVD 2 and 3 and... nothing.
Don`t install and proceed to download the whole game.

Why sold in physical support, if it doesn't work? Not all people have access to high-velocity internet.

It gets even worse. I tried to download the game. But with every hotfix they make, the download starts from the beginning. I guess I´ll have to wait to play the game until they have stoped patching.

♥♥♥♥! Is the Kingdom Come: Deliverance situacion again! I buy the game in DVD and then discover that is uterly useless.

Sorry to say, but Steam needs the latest files to install something. Which basicaly means after one patch DVD's are useless. I had a long chat about it with Steam support, the only solution is try to refund the game in the store you bought it in, but that's a tough battle.

I expected it. To many hotfixes. Groan... So now, i must download the game with my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ conection. Sigh...

That´s not true for other games though.

For example X-com. The last time I installed that, i could install it fom dvd, even though I bought the DVD day one. When the instalation from DVD was finished, steam downloaded the patches and DLC after that.

I just got the game today in dvd version. Because I prefer a version box, but especially it is easier for people with weak or limited connection. Unfortunately I have the same problem as you ... I hope to soon have a solution from the dev. Otherwise why sell a dvd version that does not work. We are already October 4th and still no news from them ...

Huh, IIRC they did change something in how that worked in a Steam update, but when I was on a contract in November last year I bougth ELEX from a physical store. Since this was a week after the game came out all that I could basicaly install after the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ first patch was the voice packs, the rest had to download via mobile internet. Basicaly doubled the cost, would have been cheaper to buy from Steam directly :/

Some games seems to work fine. Ej:The Technomancer and (ugh) Agony. Maibe is the size?
