How to transfer saves from other version to Steam (MIGHT work)

[Kallocain]

Since the Steam version is the recommend version, I'll post a method that a user came up with, that might work to move saves to the Steam version. It worked for this player at least. If you do this, you also won't need to download the entire game again.
It is not very complicated, and it also won't ruin your first install since you just copy it, so give it a try!

1) Enter the Steam key in Steam and start downloading
2) cancel the download
3) Navigate to the common folder under the steamapps folder
(c:\program files\steam\steamapps is the standard)
4) You will see the king arthur install, it is named different than
the other collectors edition
5) Delete the contents of the king arthur directory (keep the directory)
6) Copy the contents of your king arhur collectors edition install
directory to this one under steam
7) In steam, perform a verify game cache files task on the game:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
That will now setup the game for steam and download any missing files.

So when do the customers who bought via GG or Impulse get their Steam key? I already tried the GG serial to register the game on Steam but it is not accepted

Wondering that too. I guess they're still working on it..

Well, as much as I love GG, this is going to limit the games I buy through them. Count me amongst those awaiting the new patch, still.
