jackie1776 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi! I love this game -- bought it on both the Xbox and Steam -- and I want to buy my friend a copy but she lives in the middle of nowhere and doesn't have internet. Is there a version available that I can download onto a flashdrive that she can then install on her home computer without needing an internet connection to complete the installation? Please advise, thanks! Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/58522-install-from-flashdrive-instead-of-from-steam/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 You can get the standalone version and put it on the drive. Here is how you can do it if you buy on steam: http://support.kleientertainment.com/customer/portal/articles/1126155-how-keys-work-steam-purchase-don-t-starve-reign-of-giants- And here if you buy direct or on humble store.http://support.kleientertainment.com/customer/portal/articles/1126147-how-keys-work-humble-store- Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/58522-install-from-flashdrive-instead-of-from-steam/#findComment-680450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie1776 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 The good news is it turns out my friend got satellite internet hooked up since we talked last. Hello from bumf*ck rural Virginia! The bad news is I didn't find this out until after I'd already bought and downloaded a copy (from JoeW's "direct or on humble store" link) instead of getting it through Steam like I would normally do. It seemed to install fine (unzipped a bunch of stuff, asked me for the game key, etc.) but now it won't start. Not sure if I messed something up in the install or if it's just her computer (a monument to adware/bloatware/toolbars/so-called "free-to-play" games -- I've spent the past 2 hours uninstalling crap and am nowhere near done yet). I've never had problems installing games via Steam -- if I set her up on Steam, is there any way I can exchange my Humble download for a Steam download? Please advise, thanks! I really really want to get this working for her -- she just got out of the hospital after breaking her back and I told her that playing this game is like time travelling weeks into the future because it sucks you in and next time you look up you're like oh my god what am I doing with my life. She needs that kind of distraction right now.

jackie1776 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Or better yet, maybe I could get a refund on the Humble download and then buy her the full bundle on Steam instead? Now that she has internet at home I'd like to get her multiplayer so we can play together.

JoeW Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ahh Cool! -- I can refund it for you. PM me the email address you used on humble. Actually, I found your purchase, just confirm for me and I will refund that for you.

jackie1776 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yes, thank you! I am installing Steam on her computer now and will gift her the full bundle with multiplayer through that. You guys are the best!

jackie1776 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 OMG LOL so one of the "sentiment" drop-down options for the game gift message on Steam is "Buckle Up." Considering that she'd be dead if she didn't that day (she usually doesn't, grr!), I had to pick that one. Thanks so much for your prompt and super-helpful customer service. (On a Friday night, no less!)

jackie1776 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Everything is working great! My friend's running monologue while she plays is hilarious. Her: "Oh, check it out! A one-eyed critter! Big bird!" Me: "Uh-oh." Her: "... Hey, it's killing me!" Me: "Yup."
