UPS, what is this for philosopy. i will pay for the standard game and easy download (e.g. in steam), but i will play an standallone client, not integrated in steam.
You have the game and a supporter pack tied to your name. Why are you acting surprised? The base game comes with the basic supporter pack. What is optional is higher tiers of support.
If you buy the game in steam, you get the Ardent Gladiator Supporter Pack.
So thereās zero difference in buying the 1st pack on the website or the game on steam.
The additional supporter packs are inly availible on the website.
Not sure if I understand you. How is purchasing a game before playing it an uncommon philosophy. On steam you have to purchase before downloading, too. Itās not a free trial or demo.
You need to log in to the website (not the forum), there should be a link on the top right to click, then you need to link your steam account in there.
Itās been a very long time since I had to do that and Iām on my phone (& about to take my dog for a walk) so Iām not sure that I can help much at the moment.
Just a note on the topic of using the standalone version of LE.
From Mike W (senior dev at EHG) comment on discord from the 18th Oct when asked about the standalone client vs steam:
16:33*]* Mike W*:*
Steam has a lot of built in features that are extremely useful. It made the CT program possible and saved us a ton of time. It also has servers that make our stand alone patching servers lookā¦dated. If you can get used to Steam, I doubt we will ever be able to make a patcher as good.
I think @vapourfire may have been getting at the fact that the standalone client may very well not exist in the future, and if he wasnāt than I certainly am. Here is the entirety of that conversation from Discord on Oct. 17-18:
Mike also discusses the standalone client and the various challenges, developer resources, and expenses incurred over the games development to keep it operational during the Sept. 23 Developer Stream below (question starts at 37:08 and the answer ends at 38:14 of the video):
So, at the very least, the future of the standalone client is questionable at this time.
