Wurnman 1 Posted September 24, 2012 Hey all, i have the boxed copy of Take On helicopters and now i see the DLC addon "Hinds" for a good price on Steam. Problem is when i try and buy the Steam DLC is says "Your transaction failed because you are trying to buy a game that requires ownership of another game you do not currently own. Please correct the error and try again." Does it mean i cannot buy the Steam DLC? I have Take On Helicopter installed on my pc with some added DLC's installed allready. Any advice appreciated.

Sealife 22 Posted September 24, 2012 hi, i am not professional on steam, so take this with caution , i think when you install steam you can "add other games to list" , if you did this steam will then know you have TOH maybe and allow download ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wurnman 1 Posted September 24, 2012 Thx you are correct. Just added the game as non steam game. Still giving me the error though. I think i will contact Steam support and hear from them. hi, i am not professional on steam, so take this with caution , i think when you install steam you can "add other games to list" , if you did this steam will then know you have TOH maybe and allow download ?

Mattressi 10 Posted September 25, 2012 I'm pretty sure that Steam won't let you buy DLC for games which you don't own on Steam. I bought a Steam DLC code from a different site and tried to use it in Steam for my non-Steam ToH and it wouldn't work. That was the first time that I heard that you can't buy/download DLC on Steam for a game if you don't own the game on Steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wurnman 1 Posted September 25, 2012 Yes you are correct. Pity really seeing as Hinds dlc is at a very low price on Steam and much more here on Bohemia site.

Sven2157 1 Posted September 30, 2012 Steam works with the Developers of the games they sell. They write special code for the integration of Steam( overlays, product verification, etc, etc ) into the game. If you buy the game on Steam, you MUST only purchase DLC from Steam!. Consequently, if you bought the game from BI's site, or the boxed version, you can only purchase DLC from there. Hope that helps! ;-) =170= Sven2157 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
