Duke Nukem Forever - Installing from Disk instead of Steam

June 10th 2011 03:40

Were you alarmed when Steam started downloading Duke Nukem Forever instead from your retail disk? I was, and got completely worried it's going to screw my internet usage for the rest of the month, I mean, 6GB people!

Luckily a Steam topic gives a solution:


1.Log in to Steam and click on Library.
2.Right-click on the game, select Delete local content, and confirm.
3.Insert the first disc into your computer.
4.Close Steam (Steam > Exit).
5.Press Windows Key R to open Run
6.In the Run window type:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E:

Replace E: with the CD/DVD drive you are installing from if is not correct.
Replace C:\Program Files\Steam if your Steam installation is not in the default location.

6.Press OK. Steam will launch and ask you to sign in if you do not have your password saved. Your installation should continue from the disc.

Yay! Now all I have to worry about is that damn mandatory 433.2MB day one patch.
