Fallout – Please help me install this game

fallout-new-vegas

I bought Fallout New Vegas recently (retail) and decided to install it today. I'll cut right to it. I don't have WIFI I used my phone's data to register the game and then tried to install the game via disc. However, when I do this the game shoots to Steam downloads and starts downloading. I have no idea how to force a disc install if that's even a thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Answer

  • Activate Product with Steam
  • Right click on the game in steam and choose to delete local content (this will stop the download)
  • Leave Steam open (don't end the process/executable)
  • Open the setup from the disk
  • Choose to install

After the install, in steam, you will notice that it is downloading but do not worry it's only updating (You can go into the game properties and mark "no auto update")

If that does not work then try the following :

  • Make sure that Steam is off
  • Allow auto install

And if neither of them do work then here is another way : here
