FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hi all, don't know if it's against forum rules to talk about computer games, if it is please feel free to lock this down mods, but given the game is based on GW IP, it may be acceptable. Anyway I went to install DoW 2, and it set me up with a Steam account, and I accidentally purchased the game again online. I've since cancelled the download and requested a refund, but I'm wondering how I go about downloading the game without purchasing it again given I already own the disc. I bought the game from my brother, but it's a legal copy with a key. Any advice or assistance you could offer would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lay Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I know that Sega offers steam keys to owners of physical copies of DOW 1. But I don't think the offer extends to DOW 2. https://steamcommunity.com/app/4570/discussions/0/535150948618039156/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364950-dawn-of-war-2-setup/#findComment-5556825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Oh nice, I think I'll put old DoW in my steam library then. Are there any differences between the original and the steam version?

Lay Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 For DoW 1? The steam version of the game comes fully patched. That includes using steam as a the default platform for multiplayer instead of (the now defunct) gamespy. Also after Sega took over for THQ as publisher they added a new multiplayer map.

Sparika Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 If you have the key, in Steam you can directly add it to get the game in your library. The DoW2 key should be compatible since Steam was required anyway.
