What games are you playing?

Note that I'm not satisfied with the current repack of Crysis 3 remastered. I'm working on a new, better and smaller repack. I'm not giving any release date for the moment, but I'm working on it. Crysis 3, a first person shooter taking place in New York.
This version of New York is quite different from the one in Crysis 2. New York is now encased in a Nanodome shell created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The city itself is a mix of an urban environment and a jungle, parts of it having been turned into a rainforest filled with overgrown trees and swamps. The city is split up into seven different environments known as the Seven Wonders.
This game is pretty old since it was released in 2013, but it boasts amazing graphics quality, and is based on an engine that used to take the strongest PCs to their knees. The impressive rendering technics were spectacular for their time.

Note that a smaller repack is available for Dishonored 2. Thanks to xdelta3, more videos were deleted. If 2 videos are identical with a different audio stream, then only one video is required and later patched with xdelta3 indeed. I discovered this a few years ago. Some videos were reencoded to be completely identical (the bik format is not really easy to handle). This is the only repack on the internet using this technology with videos. Only 80mb smaller.
If you already have the repack, you only need to download the new Setup3.bin and setup4.bin.

Note that a new repack for Crysis 3 remastered is available.
The repack is 100 mb smaller (5,05 Gb) and the game 1 Gb smaller (12,1 Gb) once installed.
The installation time was reduced because fewer files are transcoded during setup.
The missing wheel bug with the jeep was fixed.

Who among you is familiar with Steam? As part of my video card upgrade I got a free game (Warhammer 40000) but it has to come from Steam. It'll be out Nov 30.

Is Steam a launcher? Do you absolutely have to use the Steam app to play? Getting information from them is next to impossible. You have to spend $5 to post on a forum.

Very difficult so far.

I am.

First, you need to create an account in Steam. Just register on its site, registration is easy.

Next, you need to download a Steam app. This is a wrapper for online game and app store (like Google's and Apple's), which selling games and provide anti-piracy security for them.

Third, you need to provide your Warhammer's license key for a steam app. I don't know, how exactly you can do this. Probably, you should run Steam, go to the page of the game in Steam (for example, find it through its "search"), click "Buy", and it'll probably show you form where you can enter you bank card parameters OR (in your case) the license key.

After this, Steam will download the game to your PC (automatically) and install it (also automatically). All Steam games will be installed into its subdirectory.

After this, things is done. You can play the game, clicking Play button in steam, or just running it from icon from desktop.

Daniil: Thanks very much for your help.

I already downloaded the Steam app and redeemed Warhammer. It won't be out until Nov 30th so I can't download it just yet.

You said you can also click on the game's icon to launch it. Does the mean you don't need Steam to play it? I'd like to avoid Steam entirely if possible. It's a waste of resources plus I prefer to play the game by myself -- no friends, no multiplayer or anything like that. To ask the question another way - what if you download the game and then uninstall the Steam app from the computer. Will the game play?

Did you spend $5 or more to be able to post messages to the forum?

$5 is only for participating in the community, adding friends etc.
Most of us bought some game and therefor passed this threshhold.
Can send you a link with my friend code if you want to add me If you end up paying $5
I've used steam actively since 2008 and can barely imagine life without it.

Yes, you required Steam to play the game. Game has a protection library inside of it, which deny it to launch without Steam. But don't worry, Steam is very stable and fast app, it won't eat much.

About money required by Steam Shadow.97 already descripted everything very well.

By all means do give me your friends code. Of course I've played games before but none had anything to do with Steam. This would be the first one.

As for the $5, all I have to do is buy some cheap game or some other stuff I don't intend to use? Any recommendations?
I feel this is necessary because the forums are usually a vital source when it comes to getting help.
