Lost my disc, have it as "You own this game already"

Post » Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:45 pm

Hey guys, I lost my disc but I purchased the game already on STEAM and it shows up as "You already own Fallout: New Vegas" and then two buttons, Play & Install Steam.

Well I click play and it says the game is not installed on my computer (I got a new laptop)

Is there anyway I can install the game via STEAM without the CDs (since I already bought it) or am I out of luck?

Yes simply download it from the Steam cloud. There is no difference between the Steam digital download version and the DVD version, except the DVD version will "install" faster. Load up Steam go to your library section and then click the Install button on Fallout:NV.

If you have issues Installing the game then right-click Fallout:NV and select the "verify integrity of game cache" or simply delete the local game content and attempt to Install the game again.

Hello, I un-installed it and it let me download the game from STEAM and I have it installed and I'm now playing again.

Tyvm!
