What a buggy mess this game is on Steam. I just wanted to post an update on further problems that I had in case it would help anyone else that is trying to play the game.
In my other post, I described having to create new folders in the graphics and engine folders. I thought I had solved the problem. WRONG.
The game would not let me create a profile, hence I could not start the game. I did considerable searching on the internet and Relic forums and apparently you have to create new profile folders if you update before running the game, which Steam automatically does.
However, this did not work with the Steam Version, probably because the path is different.
So I searched the Steam Forums, and found that somehow downloading the expansion Winter Assault solved this problem. So I did that and it works somehow.
So bottom line, "buyer beware" on this game. I think it is working now, but for others, who knows. Maybe they wont even have the problems I have had, but just be aware that so far I have spent more time trying to get the game to run than I have actually playing the game.
And as I said in my other post, I would think that at least for a featured special like this Steam would at least download the game and make sure it will run before they make it a featured special. But apparently not.
