I am purchasing Naval War Artcic Circle on Friday once my money goes into my Paypal account.

My Question is how is the best way to get the simulation through gamers gate or Steam.

I downloaded the demo through steam but I have no idea where it downloaded to on my hard drive. I went into explorer and into the Stream Directory buy could find where the game was installed to

Once I download the Sim I want to burn it to DVD and make a copy to put on my backup drive. Pleas let me know.

Thankyou

Scott

The game is usually to be found in C:/Program Files (x86 if you have 64bit op system) /Steam/Steamapps/Common/Naval War Arctic Circle. But there is no point in backing it up IMO. The fact it is on Steam means that you can re-download it anytime onto your computer (called installing local files) and it will show on your Steam account from now on. So if you change computer, reinstall the operating system, crash your whole hard drive, all you ever need to do is reinstall Steam and your game will be there ready to reinstall the local files again. If the game ever makes use of Steam cloud you can even have you save games saved on Steam as well so you will be able to use them on different computers (home and work possibly ;) ) Steam comes in for a load of critique but its has some advantages - never needing a disk in the drive to play, needing a backup, worrying about receiving a lousy disk, or losing the disk is a major one.
 
Gamersgate have the same backup possibilities, but the game itself requires Steam to work so it's easiest to just buy from Steam.

Edit: This may make me sound like a Steam fan, which I am not. Just had to say it.
 
Bought it yesterday from steam and received a free game I think the free game is pretty nice even larger than NWAC itself. Haven't played it though.
