Other Left 4 dead question

I have l4d right here im at my friends but want to know if i can use it on his pc and then do it on mine i just want to double check since im pretty sure people said all disc is nothing you do it on steam still or at least through.

 

I believe you can (even retail version) since the retail version installs the game into steam. And as long as you have another pair of serial key you will be fine.

 

No i don`t have another serial key i have the one with game i got from my local store so if i install here it goes on steam im sure like most valve games now it should be on the account and so if i got home sign into my account i used at friends it should be there to install or do i need another key for another install....Sorry i just want to make sure it will be okay since it was 49.99 and if i get ****ed i might need to buy it once more.

 

No, thats fine. You can install it on two computers using one login, but that will mean you can only play the game on the computer which your steam account is logged onto. I have done it before with TF2 so its fine.

 

So as long as im signed into my account it will play games through steam or that go into it or i buy from it

 

Most of the games that you have purchased on steam will show up as "uninstalled" on your friends computer when logged into your steam account. You can freely install all your games, but he will no longer be able to play them once you log off and he logs his own account back on. And you will still have your games on steam!

In short - Yes, just need to install them first to play!

 

Thanks i was worried

 

Also, this should probably be in Gaming.



Also, you should know that Steam is pretty good at keeping people from sharing a game, Offline mode doesn't work every well, and you definitely can't play against each other.

 

woah. allow me to introduce you to my friend, the full stop. it allows you to separate one thought from another!

 

Allow me to introduce you to the capital; it goes hand in hand with the full stop.

 

pfft. at least my posts are legible. it's the one rule of grammar i don't consistently follow when communicating on the internet.

 

The game is tied to your Steam account permamently. No matter what you do you'll keep it. Even if you lose the disc you'll still be able to play on any PC.

 

Thanks every one but i can't even run it on this pc lol specs are:

Intel penitum 3.0hz
1g of ram
gefore 7300

i guess ill have to wait till new pc comes

I get really slow fps around in 25-35

 

If you pop in a slightly better AGP video card you're all set. That 3.0 Pentium should be OK for the Source engine.

 

Ya i know i got new coming i did not build i got from ibp

intel i7 920
gtx 285
6 g ddr3 1600


so im guessing this can max any games maybe not crysis though

 

ARMA II is the new Crysis.

 

Really graphics that good but is gtx 285 good with it?

 

Sure, but it'll still struggle on max everything. Just read the review.

 

What res will i be able to max so i won't be going 1080p?

 

You can go 1080p, just tone down some settings...

Seriously read the review on this site to get a grasp on how back-breaking this game is.
