Planetside 2 on Steam? - Page 3

I would assume Steam is just a host to launch the client software, similar to a shortcut to a non-steam game. Patching, login, store, etc are all handled by the SOE client and installed outside the Steam folder.

I'm going to initially download through steam, but if it turns out that I don't end up liking it then I will eventually just uninstall and go through SOE. Since it's a MMO and all your character data is stored on their servers then you won't lose any progression if you decide to change your mind. So I'm going to see what all Steam offers and if it's more hassle than it's worth I will change.

Just thought I would throw that out there.

I won't download through steam, just because steam adds extra load to your CPU and RAM.

I need to get the most out of my computer, so I'll just download from Sonys website instead. PS2 is all CPU..

Fight for the cause and get it on Steam. It will propel the game's ranking upwards and help to build up people's awareness.

Besides, I do not think running Steam and PS2 at the same time will be mandatory.

It is soon time to initiate "Operation Background Task Termination!". The first campaign of this war. Thanks for the reminder MetaHaze.

Yea, closing Steam will not terminate the game you're currently playing.

That is why I have the most powerful tools on earth for gaming.. Razer Synapse 2.0 (Razers New Gamebooster), and ASC 6.0. Tharrak

This way I can go long hours on PS2 without having any interruptions from those bad background processes that cause staggers in my fps and even crashes..

EDIT: I rather go with Sony's website, even though Steam will most likely be the same thing. Steam is just there as another form of advertisement.
