IL-2 going Steam-powered

[StkNRdr]

I purchased Red Orchestra through Steam. It played well for about 1 year, then it would start OK but wouldn't connect to any servers. Always had the most up to date version, no change to my system, just couldn't connect. Tried reinstalls, etc.

The worst part was there is NO support, period, nix, nil, zero, none. After trying to get the thing going off and on over a month, I ended up blowing the whole thing off my drive.

Steam sucks, big time.

Sad to hear that m8. Well, we'll see how this goes... but I still have to admit this aroused my curiosity somewhat!

So because RO stops working, you say Steam sucks? And what the hell are you talking about no support? Do you expect to get emailed without asking for help or something?

You have 2 choices, the official RO forums. A very helpful and friendly forum, also frequented by the developers.

And the forums on Steampowered.

Get tired of hearing people bash Steam for strange reasons like this.

Steam is a great system.

Most people who complain about Steam are the kind who forget their logins or don't know how to defrag their hardrives ........

Its also the wave of the future.

Get used to it.

We will be EXTREMELY lucky as flight simmers (if it turns out to be true) to have B.O.B distributed on Steam.

It will means THOUSANDS of new online pilots.
