Anyone know this about TF2?

[bjmach]

I've been playing on bootcamp with a TF2 disc I bought for $9.99

Will I have to purchase the download for $19.99 to play on mac side today or will they just let me download with the serial code I have from the purchased Windows side disc? Just asking because it wasn't a steam download when I originally purchased on the windows side.

You're all set to download and play the Mac version when it arrives, you won't be required to purchase it again.

Even though he didn't buy the original game through steam ?

It's a Valve title that is tied to his Steam account. He'll be able to download it for free via Steam once it's ready.

Me too. Damn you Steam, get some better servers.

If my usenet provider can max out my connection, you damn well better be able to...

I downloaded it pretty quickly. Or is 700kb not fast enough for any of you?

I crawled along at 750kb/s, normally I get 2.5Mb/s

I have installed TF2 on 3 different computers now and I bought the orange box and used that for the first computer shortly after it came out.

The rest have been threw steam. Most recent was about a month ago.

ok here's some info to help for users that already have TF2 on a different computer. You can copy a few files across massively reducing download time:

You can find you files here:

[Mac's volume] /Users/******/Documents/Steam Content
[Windows volume] /Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps

Copy the following files to your Mac's Steam Content folder:

team fortress 2 client content.gcf
team fortress 2 materials.gcf
team fortress 2 content.gcf

If you do not have Portal or Half-Life 2 on your Mac, you'll want to copy these files:

source sounds.gcf
source models.gcf
source materials.gcf
source 2007 shared sounds.gcf
source 2007 shared models.gcf
source 2007 shared materials.gcf

This should save you a massive amount of time when downloading!! Hope it helps!!
