EA Downloader

[Seraph]

Ok this fixxed a lot of problems for me. If you take your cd key provided by Steam and enter it into the EA downloader you can then download the game from there. It gives you all the files and the updater that Steam doesn't have. I was having a problem with my Hit box in game. Removing the steam version and installing this one fixxed this for me. Hope this helps you guys. Takes time to download and install but in my opinion it was worth it.

But does the game still integrate with Steam?

I don't know if it does. I always log into teamspeak anyhow.

schlup u can add non steam games on to steam. just go under my games and look for the add non steam game button. then it will run like a steam game. i did it to my bc2 because most of you guys bought it of steam.

I thought the bc2 was part of the steam cloud?

it is but when you buy the game on dvd and install the game it doesnt put it in steam. so i had to add the game as a non steam game. you can put pretty much any non steam game on to steam and steam will show you're playing that game.

BC2 isn't part of the Steam cloud, EA has their own stats servers that save everything for you.  Steam just updates it when needed, like every other game on Steam.  I know you can add non-steam games but it never works for me.  Even if it did, could you still access the in-game steam overlay?

thought i posted a reply but...... maybe not......

so adding a game just shows your friends what game you are playing

Yeah, I'm not sure about that, I know it shows that you are playing a non-steam game...might show the game name too...can't remember.
