Stuck in the same boat you are AJE. I found and checked the Pillars folders, Seen that I had both a "EmptySteamDepot" and "PillarsofEternity_Data" folder. The Depot folder was empty, the Data folder had a ton of files. I deleted the Depot folder and still can't load the game. I don't know if this makes any difference but my Steam stuff is all on my removable hard drive. Set as Drive "L". I guess I should mention that I'm running the game on a Windows not a Mac.

Hmmmm.... Well it's been well over 45 min and the game won't load. Just sits at a screen saying "Preparing to load Pillars of Eternity" No count down or progress bar anywhere letting me know it's updating, or how far along in the update it is. This is very disappointing to say the least. Looks like now that there was a patch, I'm no longer allowed to load the game. First time Steam user... looks like it will also be the last time I use them. I miss the good old days of buying a game on disk....

EdwinP... That sounds like a really cool idea! That would sure make the library come alive!

Ah.. so as long as I don't play via off-line mode, the game will be auto updated when I load it up? Cool. Thanks for the reply Marky.

I wonder... What about the books you picked up before getting the library? Will they show up? Or maybe you have to take them to the library to have them show up? This is a nice touch indeed.

Hello all, and sorry if this is a silly question, but Pillars is the first game I've ever bought through Steam. That being said, I was wondering how patches are handled on Steam. Do I have to log into Steam and download the patch, or is it an auto update to my game files? Also, if I play the game using a desktop shortcut instead of opening Steam and starting the game from in there, does Steam still load the patch. Thanks all for any answers! I've been getting a kick out of Pillars so far, and see some nice stuff in this new patch 1.05 that looks very cool. Grom
