Welcome to the wonderful world of Steam. cbeat:

If I didn't need it to play Race 07 online, then it wouldn't come within 50 feet of my computer. I even bought the game + expansions on DVD so that I wouldn't have to hand any money to them.

You know mate i got my account on steam from the first steam day 12 september 2003, with many games but something like this is first time...

I have been using Steam since it first came out as well. The only issue I have had with it is trying to convince paranoid people that it won't eat their babies.

That said, it sucks that you have encountered this problem. I hope you find a way around it.

 

[Pawel Bednarczyk]

Yep i hope too..i sent ticket to support and now must wait cause they sleep...but tbh i dont know what to do i this situation, demanding refund?...dunno.

PS.

dunno what happend but my game is unlocked now ^^

but in store is still unavaible. weird.

It seems to me that Poland and Brazil are two of the countries that Microsoft Games for Windows Live has issues with. I wonder if that is at the root of the problem.

Have you tried looking at your Steam "Settings" tab under "Downloads + Cloud" there is a dropdown box to select Download Region. Maybe try setting it to somewhere you know is supported, like UK - London. Not sure if that will work with Steam, but I know some people had to put England or the US as their country when registering their key with GFWL.

 

[Pawel Bednarczyk]

No, no my account from GFWL working fine im using it in other games, and like i said steam just ublocked my game, so at last i can play normally w/o VPN connection ;]

but for the rest (i mean ppl w/o pre-order) is unavaible in steam store.

Did you install steam? On the picture in the first post it says you don't

 

[Pawel Bednarczyk]

Hey Bram did you read whole thread? ^^

Not all of us are paranoid. I had multiple issues with Steam in the past, which is why I quit using it until I was forced to do so in order to play a particular game online. I also know various other people which have had numerous issues, including one who lost a significant sum of money and never got it back. That is why they'll never see a penny of my hard-earned cash.
