hi there.
I´ve baught thief 3 a while ago. now i´ve got the above Problem.
i´m in contact with steam support about a week now - but either they wont read the context of my support inquiry, or they dont have the time to.
the Problem is as follows:
the game downloads to 99% and then stops. the steam client sometimes shows download activity - everything between 3 bytes and 80 kilobytes in a more or less random fashion. when i try to start the game it says: "Steam hat Probleme eine verbindung zu den steam-servern herzustellen" (i know its german - but i should not try to translate). the support people made me delte most of the client files (with some exceptions) - and then restart the client. didnt work.
they made me reset some network things. i read the word winsock somewhere in the Process. seems that someone thaught that i couldnt connect to steam at all - which wasnt the case since everything else works good - other steam games included.
i tried to delete and re-download the game content but it´s still stuck at 99%.
has anyone of you an idea how to fix the Problem? this is the first time that the steam people disappointed me in matters of technical things - so i´ll try to fix it myself instead of accusing them of something they dont deserve. but since i´m not that skilled in computer questions, i need community help for that.
thanks for all hints that lead me to the Problem solution.
Greetings.
