Newb question here about Steam
Hey everyone! I have played OOTP15 for a while back in the day but I am planning on getting deep into OOTP17 in hopes to join some online leagues and really have some fun. My question is I purchased the game on Steam and I am checking to make sure that was the right move.
See I don't know enough about OOTP yet to know if there are stand alone versions and which would be better but I already got OOTP17 on Steam and just checking to see if there are any other versions and what kind of pros and cons I would run into. Thanks guys.

The Steam version is fine. I think a lot of people use it. The updates are a bit delayed, but only maybe a day. No real impact otherwise.
(I'm assuming you've used Steam with other games) Last edited by TribeFanInNC; 03-28-2016 at 08:18 PM. |

There's really no difference between the Steam version and the OOTPD license version. I install my license versions on my mobile computers and the Steam version on my desktop and play the same save on all three.

Perfect! I was afraid it might interfere with joining Online Leagues. Thanks!

One thing when playing on Steam is you might want to turn off the Steam overlay, sometimes I know on 16, you would type in a letter and the screen with Steam would pop up in game.

That, and install it on your C: drive if possible. Occasionally in 16 I would have issues if it wasn't.

Always do this. Right click on OOTP 17 on your Library Page and then unclick the overlay box.
