i uninstalled it and started downloading throgh steam and it takes 4ever!!! :x wich is why i hate STEAM

For the love of...

Thats what the file verification process is for so you don't have to redownload the hole game again... like 3 other including me told you that!!!!


Right, for future reference you can reinstall a steam related game from the original CD instead of redownloading it all again.

* First you must delete the game by right clicking on the game and select delete local content.

* Then exit steam and make shore its not running at all.

* Insert the game CD into you CD rom drive

* Then press the windows key + R to open the run command window

* Now type in the run command window; "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E:

(If steam is not install at that location, replace C:\Program Files\Steam with the correct location i.e. D:\Games\Steam is where I have it installed and same go for the CD Drive, replace E: with the correct location i.e. F: is the location of my CD Drive)

* Then press ok and it should sing you in and start installing the game off the CD.


I know its a pain to do it that way and I don't know why the people at Valve don't make it easier to reinstall a game from CD!!!


Also for future reference cammoammo Steam Support is a good place to troubleshoot any problems your having with steam and most games on steam.
There are are also two official forums you can ask on if your having any problems with COD, One is IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover @ C1 Forums and the other is IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover @ UBI forums
