Hi,
so I was excited to try out CiM on Linux after having played the game on Windows for quite some time a few years ago.
Unfortunately, the game disappeared from my Steam account the same day it was released for Linux. Having a look at the games listed in my steam profile, I notice it's no longer there ("All Games" tab). It *is* listed in my library but only in the "Other Games" category, which IIUC means that I have some files installed for that game but missing the license and I need to buy the game in order to play it. Instead of the "Play" button, there's only a "Purchase" button.
There are quite a few people in the steam forums for CiM complaining about this. Also, someone posted that he can't register the game with steam after he bought it.
I also bought the game in a retail box (from amazon IIRC) and I guess I still have the CD (DVD?), though I don't feel like searching for it now. So it was not a "virtual" steam purchase. Maybe that's why my access to the game has been revoked. Can players who bought this from steam still launch the game?
Please, Paradox/CO, either fix this if you can, or tell steam guys to hurry up/reply to one of the threads. A bunch of people are waiting for a response. Yes, I realize we should probably be patient until monday.
Cheers
Edit: To clarify, I posted this in the main forum because the Tech Support forum says that I need to register my game, which I can't, because clicking the "CD Key" link in Steam results in a corrupted window being displayed. Judging by the audio, it's supposed to be an error message.
