First I inserted the first DVD and autoplayed it(I already had steam).Then I ticked all of the games I wanted to install.Then it began to "Load Game Cache" files,but by the time it had almost finished,Steam started to download the games from the net.I do not want to download the games through Steam,as my internet speed is pretty weak.I want to load the game from the disc itself.I even tried a page on the Steam support site,"Installing from Disc instead of Steam" .
But it still began to download the games through Steam.I had also heard that turning your net connection off during the installation process can stop this.However,when I tried it, the game started loading from the disc but stopped after two minutes.Though it hadn't froze,nothing was being loaded.The installation stayed stuck and the "Time Left" sign kept increasing,from 10 min,to 12 mins,from 12 mins to 14 mins,and so on.
My specs are -
160 GB HDD
3 GB RAM
1 GB ATI 4650
2.7 Ghz Intel Dual Core E5400
Could somebody give me EXACT steps on how to install it?
Thanks in advance.
Even after you install it,would you still have to download stuff through Steam?I don't want to have to download anything (other than minor updates) because my internet connection is pathetic.
Is it also that once you install from the disk,6 GB or so worth of updates will still have to be downloaded through Steam?
