It has server issues telling me the server is to busy or not available, and has incredibly slow download times for both updates, and full games. It Auto updates my game without giving me any option to just play the damn game, and while its updating, the game of course is offline. IS Steam really that great, and convenient?/ It forces me to have an internet connection to play/install my game. So it installed, but wouldnt play unless steam got to update the game, so then I said sure update.20 minutes later I was able to finally play my game. I disconnected my internet connection by completely disabling my network connection in VISTA, then TADA!! The disk said it would install from DISK!! Hooray I thought. So I was pissed off now, so I said what about this. So then I swithched Steam to Offline mode, and tried it, but it told me I couldnt install my retail version of my game without having Steam in Online mode. Okay so I said there must be a way to bypass this, I looked at steam, and everytime I tried to do anything it said It was starting the download. I then became enraged and threw my disk like a saw blade at my cat.( not really). ![]() I then tried exploring the disk to see if there was a setup.exe file for just the game itself. I stopped the download, and tried this very same process again to see if there was anyway to install my (retail version of Left4Dead with Box and disk and manual) without downloading it. Steam said my estimated Download time was 3 hrs and change. Thats right not even 1 mb per second, and Im on a cable modem with 5mb download speed. I looked at my screen in disbelief, Steam was trying to Download a 4.6 gb game from the internet, at 132kbps. It said it would download all necessary files to a local destination, and it asked if it could commence download. ![]() I Then put the disk into the computer, (which I bought at Best Buy last year), and Steam wouldnt let me install it from the disk. Okay So I waited 10 minutes came back, and Steam said I could install. ![]() Once Steam was updated I tried installing Left 4 Dead, but Steam said it couldnt, that the server was busy at the time, and that I needed to wait till a little later. Okay great, so I installed Steam, and waited another 3 minutes while steam updated. Unfortunately I was immediately bombarded with STEAM install requirements, telling me I had to install steam and its updates prior to installing the game itself. Today I decided to Install Left 4 dead on my computer, not the new one but the Original.
