Will MWLL Work with Crysis Purchased Through Steam

[Kneesmoke]

Long time lurker.  I searched quite a bit, but couldn't find an answer if MWLL had been tested with Crysis through steam.  I also found out you guys use steam alot in conversation. lol

Unless the version of Crysis through Steam is cut down in its mod support I can't see why it wouldn't.

I was told that there's an issues with the built in Crysis mod loader in the Steam version. We'll be supplying our own launcher so hopefully that works without any real problems. Unfortunately, the problem is internal to Crysis so there's not much we can do about it.

Howdy,

First time poster here.... only just found out about this.... big time MechWarrior fan and player 

Toeball, has any of the alpha/beta version(s) been tested with a steam build

I'd really like to see a definitive answer...... I don't wish to spend hard cash on the steam build of Crysis if its no good for MWLL.

Thanks

if you don't have it allready and you don't wanna waste your money on the steaming pile of code, then go get the crysis game in some bargain bin in a real shop insted of steam O.o
it will work with that one.

Crysis via Steam costs almost $60 if I'm not completely mistaken. If you've been tracking just this "General Discussion" subforum in the past few weeks, you should have seen a number of discount offers on Crysis eating Steam's price alive without chewing.

Even Amazon.com has it at $36.99 including free shipping.

In other words: go get the retail version. There is no need to take any risks with Steam.

I will not comment on whether or not the mod has been tested with the Steam version, simply because I don't know for sure, but I tend to believe that none of the people currently playing the mod is running the Steam version. I can assure you though that there have not been any intentional and dedicated tests with the Steam-Version.

Again: if you want to avoid trouble, get the retail version.

Crysis on Steam is only $39.99. Link I think you were thinking of the Crysis complete pack AOP. I don't see how it wouldn't work with Steam. It installs all the same files as the retail version.

Valve is forcefully inserting their manhood into non-North-American rear ends ever since and as a non-NA-citizen I am obviously affected. The Steam store detects that I'm not applicable for US prices and shows me the price I'd have to pay - but in US-Dollars, not my currency. I've been misled obviously.
The Crysis&Warhead package is even being offered to me at $99.95.

I don't see how it wouldn't work with Steam. It installs all the same files as the retail version.

Due to my involvement here with MWLL, I've also gotten involved with the German Crysis community forums and website and trust me... Warhead and Steam were a nightmare to a number of people - and that release was planned, unlike Crysis being published over Steam.

[Tiger842]

Wow that is beyond lame. Ah well, I have quite a few friends who bought Crysis over Steam, so I hope the mod works out for everyone. They'll know in a few weeks anyways.

Also I didn't know you lived in Germany.

[Harpo_74]

By the sounds of it there are going to be quiet a few people using the mod via the Steam install of Crysis.

There needs to be some investigation to work this out one way or the other. Prices in Aus are basically the same either way, but personally I'd prefer to get it via Steam.

Just by chance maybe you could distribute the mod via steam as well, for those who want it that way. It would take a good chunk of load off the other services your going to use for distribution.

I don't think they have the capability to distribute via steam.  That would require working with valve, getting their OK, setting the game up to work with VAC etc...

Unless they have an ace up their sleeve that we don't know about, that's a huge undertaking.

Only Valve games use VAC. Any other games distributed by Steam use their own anti-cheat solutions.

[TimoBlastem]

That makes sense.  Too bad though, VAC is really good from what I hear.

Not really.  It's only really good because if you hack with a Valve game while steam is open it's easy as piss for steam to detect you doing bad things and have your entire account bannned.  The VAC itself is AFAIK pretty basic.

Now that there is the internal beta swirling around, has anyone tried it with steam?
