Hate to break it to u champ, but the hard copy wasnt the complete game as it was. Steam is an intergral part of the game from beginning to end.

For starters u have to install steam before the game allows it to be installed from the disc. Then after the game has installed from the disc, the install is completed by steam updating the game with the core files that are needed (hence, only a portion of the game is installed from the disc). How do i know this? because i, like alot of others, bought the hard disc.

So if ur saying that ur able to play it straight from the disc, then im telling you your either full of it, or ur using a pirated version of the game. Oh and sure, u can play it offline, when u set steam offline, and even then its only playable offline if the game is up to date.

As you said yourself - So take THAT lol

oooooh! i deeply appologise for jumping the gun and not knowing your full circumstances of not having a net connection at home brook. Certainly since you didnt note this, you should have seen this coming no? But at the end of the day, you should know well enough that it can only be played threw steam, either online or offline. Looks like ur gonna be doin the long haul for the patches.

Oh and btw, your not the only person who has bought all the il2 series, and i can say that with full confidence

I feel for you Brook, but it is the times we live in my friend. The internet revolution has taken full hold of society in all aspects of life, and that includes business. Just like the telephone did at the beginning of the 20th century, the internet has fast become a necessity of life in the 21st century.

Sad, sad day today
I wasn't referring to the joke, but to the steam situation. Cheers.
