Crusader Kings II - General information, FAQ, Game Guides etc

What version of the game do I have?
If you bought it on Gamersgate, you have the special GG version.
Otherwise, you most likely have a Steam version. Check before you buy though.

What is the difference?
None really, except how you get expansions & DLC, otherwise the versions are indentical.

Is there a DRM?
There is no DRM on Crusader Kings II. The GG version requires activation of DLCs or expansions on every PC you put it on, but there is no activation limit on it.

How do I get my DLC & Mini-expansions?
If you have a Steam version, you get it through either activating a Steam-code if you buy it from anywhere else, or buy it through the steam store overlay in the game.
If you have a GG version, you buy everything through the ingame store, using bluecoins, and it will be downloaded.

What if I reinstalll on another Computer?

On Steam, its automatic when you log into steam and select to install your game.
On a GG version, to verify your DLCs, just log into the store once and then restart the game.

How will patches work
Our goal is to have the patches released at the same time, so as soon as we hear back from Steam that they are propagating a patch, then the GG version will have its patch enabled. Expect patches to be released at 17.00-20.00 CET.

What about Mac?

Mac will work the same way as PC, when the Mac version is ready.
The Mac version is not available at February 14th, but we aim to have it very soon afterwards.
Some sites may bundle Mac & PC in the same purchase, check with your retailer.
