So I go to buy the thing on steam and it says:

"Your transaction failed because you are trying to buy a game that requires ownership of another game you do not currently own. Please correct the error and try again."

Ok, so I do have ownership of EU3 Complete which was a boxed copy. So I try adding the game to my games list through the "add a non-steam game" option. It shows up on the list but I get the same error when I try to buy HTTT. I tried restarting steam and same thing. Not sure what to do or should I just abandon trying to buy the thing through steam?

This is why I avoid Steam and buy from Gamersgate, Impulse, or Direct2Drive when the game isn't made by Valve.

Ok, so I guess you can't use your steam login to get support. You need a seperate support login. I just said forget it and ordered the thing from impulse.

But now when I go to load it from Impulse it says I don`t have enough memory. This is obviously an error because there is lots of disk space. I have posted this on impulse forums and so have plenty of other people but there is still no response. I emailed Impulse support 2 nights ago but still no response. So I post here just in case someone knows the answer to this.

I guess I should have originally bought from Gamersgate but how was I to know... Paradox people on the forums here said it was equally available from all three and that it didn`t matter if you had a boxed copy of EU3 Complete (I specifically asked).

Wow, it's not your day. Someone else posted earlier with the same impulse problem, so it's not just you. So far I haven't seen a solution mentioned though.
