Required System Specs for games not visible on Store page.
I have noticed that Company of Heroes store page does not display the system requirements to run the game.
I think Valve should have to display the system requirements for all games, as this can confuse customers and cause problems with steam support tickets being taken by mislead customers rightfully wanting refunds....

I have not gone ahead with the transaction because the system requirements are not visible on the store page. To be communicating in this way makes me wonder, I hope this is not just a waste of time..

Ok? At least a drop down would be nice
Hey, thanks Totoro..
I can't see it when I type company of Heroes...this page comes up:
http://store.steampowered.com/search/?snr=1_6_4__12&term=company+of+heroes

And when I click on the Bundle pack (what I was interested in) Still no specs :(
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1529/

Now, that's just clicking on the Store, and searching the game, and then......no specs......
Your link, Totoro is far better. But what I got was not very good. Anyone know why this problem exists? It's not very helpful.

You have to view the games store page to see the specs. They can't realy list it for everything when viewing a search or a pack.

It isn't a problem. You should always view the game's store page for the system requirements. It is like that in every store.
The game's store page?

I went to the Store. Typed in ''Company of Heroes''...and then it brought it up....with no specs...

How else am I supposed to find it?....seems to be a problem for me...

Same here.
The specs also pop up on my screen.

I don't know why it doesn't for you, [KL] Master Dan.
Did you click the links I put?...did it show the specs for you there?...

Yes it did :)

The specs won't be shown in the Bundle, as the specs are different for each game (CoH 1 & 2 have different specs)

Specs always show up in the Store page of the game (except sometimes with pre-orders), so that's what you would have to open (and what everyone does, basically).

Hmm,

My problem is still not solved unfortunately..See. I clicked on the store, typed Company of Heroes, and ALL the games came up including CoH 2...(possibly preorder or whatever)..I saw no system specs. I saw the big button to 'add to cart' I saw the price, and the developer, release date etc. However I saw no system specs, as my links show..

I posted proof of this above...and I just want Valve to have a look at that and see about making sure the system specs appear on all the pages for the games. I think it's pretty essential to show them, as I need that info...

Can you maybe post a screenshot of what page you are exactly on?
It'll probably help your problem a bit, because I never seen this happen before :)
screenshot? The links are there above...Post #4.

Bundle packs won't contain system sepcs. Imagine a pack taht included

Civ1-5.

What would teh system spec page for such a bundle page show? As each game might ahve different specs. Each sub game within the bundle if you click on them will send you to the approprieate game page, with th sysetm requriements.

I need a screenshot, as there are specs on those links on my side/PC
It might be problem with Steam's translation of each game store page, that's why :)
I'm working on it

Screenshots of the above links:http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=152305752

There are no specs at the top either, I could go to the tiresome efforts to post the top halves too if absolutely necessary...But simply, I went to store typed game in it came up and there were no specs...I just would like that looked into by Valve.....
