Install and double login at each game start?

Amalyte · 03-31-2010, 03:52 AM

This is for C&C4:
Every time I load the game, Steam comes up with first time install (.net framework version 1).

Then I get a splash screen where I am logging into the EA network (with username and password), and then I select persona.

Then the game loads, and I get a second login screen (also with the same username and password), and I then have to select commander.

Why is it running the install at every start?
Why do I have to log in twice?
Ideas, anybody?

Lol, you bought C&C4. Haha.

Try to run the .exe file directly in your installation folder.

Yeah, well, if I listened to forums every time some someone shouted "Don't buy this game" I would still be playing around with Half Life 2 as my most recent game.

Launching from the install folder doesn't start the Steam overlay. Indeed there is no longer the first time install. So I suppose this means that there is a problem in Steam.

I still have to log into the EA network twice, though.

As for the second login, you may have firewall software interfering with the login process. Try to add the login prompt and game as firewall exclusions.
