I may be wrong but I think that "chapter replay" is meant for those like me who are not playing any side-quests or only missed a few of them so that you can catch up after you've beaten the game without having to replay it another time.

When I went to redownload the game, Steam did mention something about discovering existing files so I thought that it was ok but then I noticed it downloading 5.5GB of data.
I copied the folder (C:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V) to the root of my E drive and then opened Steam to delete the game. Then I moved the Civ V folder from the root of my E drive to E:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\. Then I went to install the game again, this time to the E drive.
I had a look and I think that the appmanifest file was deleted when I deleted the game from the SSD. I'll keep that in mind for next time though.

That's the thing, he did have it on his account. I even logged into his account to verify that he did have it listed under the DLC tab. Yet, i'm not getting an option for it on me end when i use my account.
I mean, it's not a huge issue given that the difference between high and ultra is negligible but i just wanted to see if i was misunderstanding how DLC works with SFS or if this is just a rare case of it not working.

I just thought the story was okay, but really like the art and music as well as the VAs. I mean I wasnt expecting some big story but was still entertained by it.
Well crap, apparently the latest update for Payday 2 is plagued with game crashing and save wiping bugs. They plan on fixing it today with a patch but for now don't use LMGs and avoid hooking up the drill on Day 3 of Firestarter before the power is turned off as well as a bunch of other things. Overkill is planning on even more content updates for Payday 2 throughout this week so now I'm kinda worried. One of the tips in the thread I linked was backing up a pre-39 update (the most current one) save, which I no longer have anymore.
About time we got a release date for this one. 24th October.
Somehow I was completely unaware this was getting a Steam release. I've heard a lot of very good things about it.
The art is good yeah. The writing (poor translation?) makes it harder to enjoy the story, though.
Are you sure it's actually downloading the data and not just verifying it? The app manifest file isn't absolutely necessary -- all it contains is basic depot/installation info, but having it present does skip the need to uninstall and reinstall the game (which is why people are better served backing up their entire steamapps folder instead of just the individual game folders).
Like this:
This made my day, i have to print it and hang it up somewhere in my home

I played it in chinese, so not sure about the translation, but heard it sounds like engrish.
Well as far as I know then it should download it automatically when you install the game. At least that's the case with rest of the Steam Family Shared DLC's.

What
Nuuuu
@ songs getting removed but we can use our own songs right like in GTAIV?Anyways, odd timing to update San Andreas - didnt know it lacked those features - good thing I waited lol.
How's III and Vice City though?
I really don't have the time to sink into a full on FM fueled obsession these days but I still clocked in 11 hours just pissing about in Classic Mode in 14. Granted that's nothing to my 427 hour binge in 11 and yet again the years of my life Champ Man 97 and 01-02 took away from me

San Andreas appears to be a port of the Windows 8 store version, which itself is a port of the mobile version. AFAIK all 3 GTAIII games have been ported to mobile and all of them have proper controller and widescreen support on mobile, so it shouldn't be too hard to update the Steam versions with those mobile versions and, you know, have the GTA games play like something that came out in the last 5 years on PC.
As far as the music goes, i really hope that someone mods them back in because that would blow if they keep updating the games and removing tracks like this.

Ok, I tried it again. I moved the game file from the SteamApps folder to the root of the E drive and then I deleted the game from Steam. I closed Steam and moved the folder back to the SteamApps folder in the E drive. Then I opened Steam and downloaded the game and voila, it completed!
The first time, it was trying to download 5.5GB and I let it get to 1GB before I decided to try to fix this.
Thanks to everyone for their replies
If that were the real intention, it would have made far more sense to have a separate 'exploration mode' or something similar. As it is, if I were to complete the game, and decide I wanted to go back and do sidequests, which chapter would I pick to 'replay'? As long as the same sidequests were available in all of them, it would basically come down to which chapter is the quickest, since I can only save once I complete it.
I hope R* makes some new subs so those who already own the game can keep the original music. That's what happened with Vice City.
Do you have a second library folder set up in the other drive?
You can simply drag and drop the game into the secondary steamapps/common folder, but you will need to grab the .asf file associated with the game as well. They are located in the Steamapps folder.
If you own any of the versions of GTA, Steam, Retail etc make sure to backup you .adf files as that's what the radio stations are. Even if you buy Vice City now on Steam you can go pick up a retail copy and swap the files over and get the original tracks back in and retail copies are plentiful and cheap. But I'm sure this only counts for new owners and not existing ones.

That's a real shame as the radio experience is probably one of the best parts of GTA.

I remember the time I deleted things I thought I would be better off for (not the stuff you did), regretted it later on..

Good point, indeed the game is quite unpolished, and with regards to side-missions I haven't finished a single one yet as they're scattered all over the map and some of them could not be accessed at all times of the day, besides sometimes you have also to meet dealines for main missions at the same time, so for the moment I have stuck to the main missions.
I made a backup of my copies the moment I saw that patch. Losing the music for some features that can be modded in is not a good trade-off imo.
That's good advice, thanks Dog.
I love the short movie that created that gif. So well done.
Excellent!

Still find it weird how games will be launched at 12pm on Tuesday sometimes on steam.
Though I guess unless you're a title from a big company it's not really a big deal.

Not sure if I'm remembering it correctly, but I thought chapter 6 and 11 were pretty good to complete the side missions. Be sure to do the "Nameless Flower" side mission soon, as it allows you to
quickly travel to locations you already visited

Yeah, I'm using a guide, since it's so easy to miss stuff. And oh man, I can't wait until I do get that item.
Niggen follows zyklon's steps now, if you know what I mean.
we have like from 5-10 conversations going at once, just pick one and ignore others, simple.
I thought about skipping them, but then I read about some of the rewards, and as a result, in Chapter 2, I've already got a wrench melee item that won't ever break, just from a couple hours of sidequesting.

Edit: Today's my lucky day:
the problem with these foil cards is that nobody wants to buy it D:
This morning I woke up and there was a new thread with a thousand replies. Admittedly I missed checking the thread yesterday due to having to take my cat to the vet. I just try and chip in here and there so that people don't forget who I am.
Although people would have to know me first I guess.
That's okay, it's a "waifu" card!

Does anyone (Jase) know why there are two separate apps for King Arthur?
https://steamdb.info/app/24400/
https://steamdb.info/app/24470/
Seems like you get the standard one when you but it alone (obviously) but you get the "Collection" app when you buy the King Arthur bundle, instead of just getting the DLC bundled too.. What a strange way to handle things.
Wonder if there are any actual differences between the two.

I don't know, that's a triple whammy card right there. It's a waifu, it's a foil and it's a lesbian.
I rushed to buy Civ:BE from GMG as soon as the mistake became known. But unfortunately my key activated as the actual game and not BLS
I was planning to wait for the reviews before making the final jump but I guess for 12£ it was worth the risk to see if I could have snagged a free copy of BLS.
