Hi,

I bought FARCRY3 DVD for my laptop and I installed in other drive (Other than OS installed drive).

After few months my OS got problem and I have to format my C://(OS installed) drive and I did that.

After reinstalling OS my game showing that it is not found (or some dll is missing) try to re-install it but unfortunately my DVD drive got scratches and it is loading only half of the portion.

My question is "How to save the full working game (I thought even though I'm installed this game in other drive but some dll's/files stored in C:// Drive).

I would like to save my game without installing one more time.

Thanks You

I don't think you can.

If you have the key for the game, you can add it to Steam usually and download it from there.

I saw some of my friends downloaded games from other sites and played right away without installing. Why cant I do that if I own my game? also if I saved my DVD contents to my laptop it is increasing memory because I have to keep both setup and installed folders.

That sounds:
a) Impossible - I suspect they were instead installing then deleting the installers, and:
b)Like piracy.

Ya! those are piracy but I have purchased game and why can't we save our game like thy did? I know some solution will be there and I need to find out where this game installed files are stored in OS installed drive other than original installed drive.

Also steam required to pay again and I have to download this game again.

We don't do piracy here.

Pretty sure that if you have a key you don't have to pay again.
