That will open up the developer console, where you can type in the various command codes we've got below, then hit tilde once again to close the console and return to the game to see what you've got. That would make sense.As with most PC games, you can enter a Skyrim console command by pressing the tilde (~). If there wasn't, then I could see how that would prevent Steam from ever being able to confirm the legitimacy of my purchase of the hard disc version. Can't remember if there once was one and the label fell off or if there just never was one to begin with. Also I didn't see an activation code anywhere on the box. I looked at the DVD case last night and on the back it reads: "initial installation requires one-time internet connection", but no mention of Steam. Joruus, apparently Borderlands didn't require Steam (at least when it was first released), despite being a Steam Powered game. I would've thought for sure you'd at least need the disc in the drive to verify but I guess not. Wonder how Steam prevents dishonest people from just sitting there entering random activation codes until they hit one that's legit (and that's not already in use by someone else) and scoring for themselves a free copy of the game? Guess it'd be like hitting the lottery. Well there you have it OP, I officially stand corrected. I guess if I'm incorrect with my first post (above), then why didn't Steam recognize my Borderlands base game being installed? Would love clarification here (sure the OP would too).Ĭlick to expand. That licensing the game to your account served as proof of purchase to prevent piracy and activate your game to play. I took this to mean that while you registered and managed (patched, etc) SteamWorks games through Steam, you could not actually download a game unless directly purchased through Steam. Fortunately the GOTY version was also on sale super cheap so I ended up purchasing and downloading the entire GOTY version (repurchasing the base game).
I created a thread on The Steam Forums which resulted in almost two pages of people telling me I had to purchase the base game through Steam for Steam to recognize it and to then be able to purchase the additional DLC through Steam.
IT WAS INSTALLED, I just hadn't purchased it through Steam.
When I tried to purchase the DLC through Steam, it refused, saying I needed the Borderlands base game installed. Two years later Steam ran a special on the Official DLC (Moxi's Underdome, etc). I purchased the hard disc version of Borderlands (Best Buy) when it came out. Unless I'm reading it incorrectly (which is quite possible), nowhere in the link does it say that you can download a game through Steam that you purchase elsewhere. Click to expand.I stand corrected? I'm confused.
