I never open the Steam client. I use shortcuts to the exe files of the games to launch them. The Steam client loads itself in the background and it does so minimized. I completely bypass it.
You didn't know you could do this?|||The Steam client still opens (as in runs). I think that he thought you meant you ran the game without running the Steam client in the background (which the phrasing of your message implies).|||it can't happen any other way. it always starts in the background.
well you do know where your steam client is, yet you fail to find the fkin manual, what can i say...
PS wheres Cygnus...|||B08AH|||No, it doesn't always start in the background. Many people launch their games through the Steam interface, Steam.exe. If you do this, then the client loads up on your screen and not minimized. When you install a game, it asks whether you want shortcuts made to the games. If you choose no, then you run your games through the client interface.
Unlike every other game I have where the manuals are supplied and placed in the directories of the installed game, no I didn't think to look through the Steam client because I never use it.
Yeah, somehow I'm wrong for expecting the manual to be supplied and placed in the installed directory rather than just knowing I have to click on some secluded link in a 3rd-party application.|||Moderators: thread has served its purpose. Please lock.|||madface|||When I bought SupCom 2, the manual was not provided. Therefore, the game did not come with a manual. I had to go somewhere else to get it.
Re: steam running. Learn to read previous comments. I never said that the client itself is not running. I only said I don't access my games through it.
Does GPG staff have to run SupCom 2 at the office in order to play? GPG did not develop Steam. Steam is a 3rd-party application used for content delivery and authentication of software. It is is not required by the engine in order for the game to run. It is required only of end-users for purposes unrelated to running the actual game itself. Many games through Steam have been hacked so as to remove reliance on Steam. Non-Steam servers also exist to play these hacked games in multiplayer.
|||madface|||madface|||RPhilMan1|||madface|||I have Steam and I have bought SupCom 2 (several copies in fact that I have distributed to friends). bioemerl asked me for my Steam account and I sent him a pm. He can tell you that I have Steam and that I own the game.|||Quote:|||I have the manual now. I never use the Steam >>> INTERFACE <<< so I didn't know that the link exists. RPhilMan1: interface is the little gui that appears through Steam.exe. This is different from Steam.exe *32 appearing as a process in Task Manager. Yes, I know that when I run SupCom 2, even in off-line mode, a Steam.exe *32 process is launched and appears in Task Manager. However, for me, it is automatically minimized and I don't access anything related to the game through the Steam INTERFACE.B08AH: you saw that my question was answered before you posted on this thread, so why are you trolling?|||Yscgun|||madface|||I see no reason to publicize my Steam account. I'm not hiding anything. It's more for practical purposes. I don't want people I don't know or with whom I haven't interacted with trying to add me.
And I don't hate Steam. Where did you get that from? I just happen not to use it's interface features.|||madface
