I want to download the Witcher 2 as soon as I can, and sadly, Steam forces you to click on it manually.

Considering I'll be away from the computer when it's unlocked, what is a way to make the game download and install automatically, without getting an auto-clicker?

Ask your, mother/grandma/girlfriend/wife/dad/uncle/cousin/sister/brother/friend to do it for you, because as far as i know you cant schedule an automatic download... which you should. STEAM take notes of that :D

Haha, too bad I can't. I'm debating skipping lunch and running over here to do it.

I've temporarily activated Remote Desktop access to my PC, so I can just remotely log in from my work PC, and start the download. :D

Keep in mind the security risks of opening something like that to the internet.
