isnt this steam based for activation? thus..why not use steam backup?

SFX: not checked

i cant found this in my freearc..where this?..ty :)

thanks you test ok win 7 64bit :D

Is it possible 1xdvd5? The game is also about 5,33 gb...

TippeX yes, it's based on steam ver because I have such one, but I believe it'll be working also with retail ver (I'll got it soon, then add support for custom languages). Now it is, lets say, beta testing ;)

selvadario with only FreeArc - not. I'm trying with Prec+Srep, later maybe with repacking *.bsa

There's a retail version which comes on DVD and Steam is only used for activation, so conversions are legit according to this forum's rules.
I wonder if it's possible to make a 1 DVD5 conversion BTW...

are you seriously trying to tell me whats legit according to the rules?

Thanks a lot :)
Works perfectly XP SP3 :D

I'm not entirely sure what fracicone is trying to say either :) but I think he says that the game is installed from DVD, thus it can only backed up just like any other game based on physical media, and it's another story that the game (also) needs to be activated via Steam. That is, Steam backup won't work with it as it's not downloaded via Steam, only activated.

Thank you, works like a charm :)
