AnjyBelle Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 When I purchased the retail version I didn't realize, that STEAM is involved. I buy real existing DVDs instead of a download for a reason, e.g. to have patches available when they are released by the publisher. Most of us here know, what I mean: DVD-owners can patch, while STEAM-customers (and those of other download-sites) wait partially for WEEKS until the respective version for them is ready. But now even DVD-owners seem to suffer the same fate. How will it be handled with DS III? Can we download and apply the patches from OBSIDIAN directly or have we got to wait, until STEAM bothers to make it available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taviow Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The only way to distribute the patches is going to be through Steam. And you get to download them as soon as they are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember getting it when I didn't have an internet connection. Couldn't play it until I moved house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean "released" = "released by OBSIDIAN", then that would be nice. Would be nice, when someone official could confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no other patching than through steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
