If you wish to have a copy of the game on your account, you will need to buy another copy to activate on it. I suggest being more careful in the future. If you still wish to try, you will need to contact support and ask them directly. I already created a steam support account and made a similar inquiry.
They have yet to answer by the way, how long does it take for them to reply? I have also heard cases where one can ask for a replacement for the game from the retailer and get a new activation key. Is this true? Originally posted by PiousPenguin :. Support takes up to a week but the game is locked to the account. Just let him play it on your account or look into family sharing program.
You are not going to get a new key because you already have the game on your account. That would be getting 2 games for the price of one. On what planet can you log in with one account on 2 computers at the same time and make your game works?
Really confused on why someone would think that would work.. Allow me to rephrase. I meant that "is it possible that I could exchange the copy of Empire Total War that I have for another copy of Empire Total War via the retailer so that I may use the latter Empire Total War to install into my brother's computer via his account?
I better remember that next time I do something like this. Thank you all for your comments so far. My brother is really stressed out that he can not play his Empire Total War. He has been waiting to play that game for months. I feel bad though especially when I am the only one able to play my game on my own computer with my own account guess what game that is from my emblem. Load More. Best Games. Home Tutorials.

If you have recently bought a new computer, you might be wondering if there is a way on how to move Steam games to another computer without redownloading the games?
Short answer, yes! Install Steam Games from Copied Folders Once all the folders are copied over, open up Steam on the new computer, to install the games. This will save you a lot of time, compared to installing each Steam game individually. First I connected my external USB 3. This took mins I then plugged the external drive into my second new computer, telling Steam to restore the game from the backup file.
I again connected the external drive into my first old computer, copying the entire DIRT 4 install folder across to it. This took mins I then copied this same folder into my Steam library folder on my second new computer. This took mins I then ran the install process. This took mins Total time : mins. So as you can see the copy method, is 3x faster than the backup method. Write speeds; Superior performance as compared to traditional hard drives HDD.

Since this is a free game anyways. Would this work or will there be problems? Yes, you can copy steam game files from one computer to anther to avoid having to download them again. Simply copy the game files from the 'common' folder of the steam library where they are installed. By default this will be something similar to:. On the second machine copy these files to it's 'common' folder, then install the game as usual. When the steam installation gets to the bit where it would normally download the game files it will display 'Discovering existing files' instead.
If you follow these steps and steam starts to download the game instead of discovering the existing files that means the files haven't been copied to the correct 'common' folder.
