Wrong in teh menu you have "mutiplayer" lan/ip just nothing like fa's mactch making on steam which is really disapointing

You should read people's posts more thoroughly. He was merely pointing out, that the SupCom DVD box does not mention online multiplayer. However, on the german/european box it at least mentions internet connectivity and speed for minimum and recommended system specifications.

I know it does i was on about the steam version of vanilla.

Then don't say "wrong" when you don't even reply to the points of a specific post.

But u just admited voodoo's wrong as well

Voodoo ="I looked on the supcom DVD Box, there isn't one word about that you can play this game via inet at all" and he lives in germany or france

Spooky u ="However, on the german/european box it at least mentions internet connectivity and speed for minimum and recommended system specifications."

You said "wrong" and then rambled on about the in-game menu and its lack of Steam integration. He was not talking about that.

I know i was just pointing it out supcom and supcom fa matchmaking are almost identical so the question is why did steam not allow gpg to steam intergrate it. which is a shame

There's a function called Privat Message! Or you guys want that the Admins lock it? This topic is here to talk about GPGnet!!

Lolz, I dont think all the GPGnet Keys for FA work with Steam yet =p I just tried to put mine into steam (I have the Retail CD, Non-Gold Edition.) And steam refuses to accept the CD Key

I don't think Steam 'didn't allow them'. Probably THQ payed GPG only for the Steam integration of FA.

Brandon007 did u try your fa key as steam only seems to allow them as it unlocks both games

Indeed I did. I went to Activate a product on Steam, with my CD Inserted, and when I typed in the CD Key, It said it was in the wrong format.

try xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

or alltogether

Tried to. My CD Key is too long for either one.

how u mean?

My CD Key is XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

try without teh - in it

I did. It was too long, and it said it was the wrong format.

well just looked at my gold key its the same and mine worked.

Contect steam support and see waht they say as the key should of been updated by now

i m near 6 month ago buy "SC: Gold edition" which include both: vanilla an FA. I m buy it only for looking on SC:FA, becouse SC original i m have many year ago, and me like it.
Now i m look at dvd-box "God Edition" and found 2 key codes in format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. One code on polyethylene bag of FA disk,
second code on box. I m enter in to Steam only second code and steam began install both!! SC:vanilla and SC:FA on my comp and in download process now.
About my 2 prior SC-vanilla disk: One - "present" from US friend, Second - Localized.
Possible they dont activate on steam, but its not problem for me - to decide - to drink 6 Coca-Cola glass or to buy SC:Gold Edition ($10)....
P.S.:hmm, but how all work on steam, is it acceptible or not, i can report later...
P.S.: about FAF... i m more vanilla player, and dont find any message about support of "not FA"

SC:Vanilla on Steam - checked. No something like GPG-Net
only direct play thry IP and single play....
But why me need steam then?!!

You don't 'need' Steam to play Vanilla SupCom. You can play it either with the Steam version or retail version, or any version you like. Either way, you won't have GPGnet anymore. Your only option for Vanilla SupCom is Gameranger (or similar), I guess.

Well either someone on the forums here messed up, or steam is messed up. Just contacted their Support team, and they said that the Retail Version of Forged Alliance isnt supported by steam...

So as far as I know, The CD Version of FA will not work with Steam.

Oh link them to the post servo made and see waht they say then

The retail version itself is not supported by steam, no. However, you can enter the retail CD key into steam, and redeem it for a Gold edition (vanilla and FA) on steam. Of course, this will be patch 3606, and not the retail version which would be 3599? i think? anyways. different versions. Steam will (or should) accept the retail CD key.
