of Might and Magic:' upon installation, did the single player aspect display at 0% ready on Steam? I have a feeling that the installation flunked on my system, and that it's downloading the entire god damned game. It's now at 17%, from this morning.

God damned Valve, and god damned Steam anyway.

Alright, I think what it is is that I didn't have all the free space required while installing the thing (and that it somehow installed anyway), and only freed it up after Steam was run. I'll post the results of a complete reinstallation once finished.

Great. Now of all things, the cd key product activation doesn't work. God damned STEAM!!

Alright. I finally figured it out. I'd feel like a noob if the problem wasn't so damned screwy. A re-reinstallation fixed the CD key thing, only for STEAM to tell me that I didn't have to enter the key again. Could've let me know before, or just not asked for it.

When DMoM&M installs, there are three versions of the game:
  • Offline single player.
  • Multiplayer (two icons are listed, but both lead to STEAM).
  • STEAM single-player. I have no f*ckin' clue what this is for, but I'm going to assume that there may be a coop mode in the future. I don't know yet, since the damned thing's still at 19%.

The multiplayer aspect is ready pretty much instantly, with only a bit of required downloading. The STEAM single-player is downloaded from scratch. Expect a week, if you're on slow 60kps DSL like I am. Problem solved. I can now go kick some orcs to blow off the steam built up f*ckin' around with this game.

Usually, I'm a RTFM type, but there was all of a half-a-page on the installation process.
