The Steam specials thread

[HavocXphere]

Today's the last day of specials and I'm all out of money lol.

One more day coming up. Its likely to be a repeat of the best selling stuff so far though, so probably no new sales.

I really hope Steam stops with the daily sales. At leastjust for a month so we can recover.

True. I think more Czc than me

I tell you something, I am happy that these specials are over, bombardment of the credit card can subside.

I have a question regarding Steam backup. If I log into my Steam account on another PC, and download all my games onto it, and then back it onto my PC, will the games work then? Plus if I've already started a d/l on my current PC and then back up the game to it, will that paused d/l still want to d/l???

Hey there. Sorry for delayed reply earlier.

If you logged onto another PC with your steam account and downloaded the game, performed a steam backup, restored it to your PC it shall indeed work.

If you already began the download on your machine you need to remove the game files from your machine. i.e Right click the game and say delete, uninstall or something like that. This will stop the download on your steam client as well. Once that is done you can restore the game from the steam backup you created on the other machine.

Hope that answers your question.
