This is verging on tech help, but it could just be something about GTA4 that I don't know about.
I got GTA4 on Steam during the end of year sales. I've been slowly downloading it periodically ever since.
About a week ago, just before my quota reset, I left it to download while I was at work thinking it'd be finished when I got back. It appeared that it did, but when I opened steam again it started downloading all over again saying it was 'updating' this time.
It seems like something's gone wrong to me. This 'update' is taking way too long. About the only other explanation for this is that there's an update for GTA4 that's at least 2gigs in size, which sounds bonkers. The folder is already 10 gigs.
Any ideas?

Isn't the install like 14, 15 gig?

Well, it could be I guess. But I'm fairly sure it said 7.5G download initially, which is DVD size and made sense.
It's the switch from 'downloading' to 'updating' and resetting the counter that's thrown me. I guess the question is; Is the physical copy two DVDs? That'd probably explain it.

2 DVDs. Should be no problem, just let it do its thing.

Ok, cool. Thanks for that.

When Steam is downloading something and you quit while its downloading, if you've gotten past a certain percentage and you open Steam again, it will say that it's updating.

Just had to bump this to say; cool game. Funny how making it so down to earth makes breaking the speed limit/road rules, running people over and stealing cars seem really bad and something you shouldn't do despite GTA in the title.
But really, Fuck Games for Windows Live with some sort of trident made of red hot pokers. Man oh man.
that is all.

apparently valve arn't too keen on microsofts live, as they could do it far easier through steam, apparently microsoft added it after the licence with steam was agreed on as an extra bugbear. Someone quired valve about the microsoft live thing and the answer was that they got no choice, either games that come out on xbox and pc come with live or steam cant sell them. Although if you get a pc game on steam that isn't available for xbox then it doesn't need live to run it.
