Need help with STEAM ! GTA V

[alleyn321]

Hello

 

Recently downloaded steam and everything is fine.

 

Then I bought GTA V from g2a and Downloaded it on brothers PC and then Copied to my PC

Now when I run the Game it keeps on saying "game was launched without steam error" or when I go to steam, steam wants to download the Game again

 

I created new Library folder

Tried to Add the game as Non Steam game

Moved the game to original Library Folder

 

Tried almost everything

 

 

Does anyone know what to do?

You can't copy files over to another PC.......

[PlayStation 2]

I think this is one of those games Steam doesn't properly transfer without proper installation.

You can't copy files over to another PC.......

 

Wat?

 

I donwloaded the Game on another PC with my Steam Account and then just moved to another PC with my Steam Account

[Bazilias]

Yeah, just log into your brothers steam-account and download the game. Then you  can play it

Wat?

 

I donwloaded the Game on another PC with my Steam Account and then just moved to another PC with my Steam Account

Delete the files

go on steam

download the game through steam

[alleyn321]

I used my Steam Account to download it on his PC

[alleyn321]

Delete the files

go on steam

download the game through steam

 

I downloaded the Game through steam on different PC with my Steam Account

[Bazilias]

I used my Steam Account to download it on his PC

Then you go to your pc log into your account and download the game

[alleyn321]

Then you go to your pc log into your account and download the game

 

I already downloaded the game

[Bazilias]

It doesn't fucking matter what account you downloaded it with. You can't copy steam files to another PC. 

[alleyn321]

you downloaded the game to YOUR PC right?

PC 1 - My Steam ACC - Game Donwloaded There ( Not played , Not installed , Log-out from Steam )

 

PC 2 - My Steam ACC - Game Transfered there - Will not start but starts to donwload again

It doesn't fucking matter what account you downloaded it with. You can't copy steam files to another PC. 

 

What a BullShit app then

[Venomz1337]

What a BullShit app Steam it then

 

No, it's not bullshit.

Pretty sure all e-stores do it. Otherwise there would be no protection against 1 dude buying the game and than just copying and selling the game to everyone.

You can blame steam for it

go ahead and buy a game from Origin or Uplay and try to transfer

IT WONT WORK

You can buy a game and Copy it to 100 PCs. 

But you still have to use your Steam Account which is only yours and will not work for 100 people at the same time. 

You can have the game but cant play it without MY steam account that bought the game

 

 

 

Update: Lets say you upgraded your Hard Drive and now you have to Download every single game you have on Steam all over again? Thats Lame

That is the point, if you want to play a game you will have to pay the people who made the game.

If you want to share a game within your family you will have to use Steam Family Sharing but then you can only play the same game once at a time.
