Forgive me for my ignorance, but i have some doubts on how these works..I haven't played much games as i've been living for the last 4 yrs in hostel with max. Internet speeds like 30kbps( yeah i know..:shock: ). I recently moved back to my house & currently, i get max. speed of upto 200 kbps ( upto 8 GB, 50kbps afterwards )

so, are these steps correct or am i mistaken..

1. I download steam client/make a steam account.
2. Donate for the humble bundle & get Activation codes for games.
3. Download games using those codes.

is internet connection always required for playing the games ??? I am severely restricted by bandwidth.. :(
what happens if i format my pc ? can i download the games again with the same codes ?
is there any kind of validity on the codes ? because atm, i got my ancient core 2duo pc which i will be replacing soon with a laptop( by dec. 2013 probably ). Can i use the codes even at that time ?


very n00b questions..please don't hate me. :p

Not sure of others, but u can play the games Offline.
Though internet connection is needed for first-time installation (if you got the game via DvD like Digit game demos).

Everytime games checks for updates i guess (not sure of offline).
For online, it downloads the updates first and then only you can play (sometimes the update will be in GBs) :|

once u activate a game on your steam/origin account it gets tied to it. u dont need the codes again. u can open the account on any pc and download the game.
and u can play offline. although online is needed for activation first and downloading the game.

So does that means if a friend of mine has bought a game on stream and he opens his account on my pc so can he download it on my pc as well ?

^^ Thats cheating. :D

@ashs1 - Once you d/l game, take a backup i disk, so you can use it anytime w/o downloading again. After every update, i take backup of my games and once i finish any Single Player, i will delete the local content and keep it in backup drive. :)

Stop and reboot and resume? Or the pc needs to be on till the whole game is downloaded?
Which kind of file is downloaded- .exe or some kind of compressed file.

Sorry if these things sounds so noobish but I havent used stream or origin before :/

you can pause and resume. bf3 is around 15gb i guess.
they are huge.

you can restart your pc any number of times during download. both streamsteam* and origin use their own compression techniques during download. steam downloads maybe comparatively less in size.

Origin's login work offline, as well as steam. but you need to login online at least once in 1-2 weeks.

they should alteast allow either downloads through the website (like GOG) or downloads only no purchase through steam client.

this will work with steam. it will reduce the download size depending on how outdated the pirated game is. first activate key in steam client. then u can install the pirated game, create the game's folder in steam apps>common. copy its files there. and launch the game from steam client. it will discover already present files and download accordingly.
didn't work for fifa 13 in origin for me. it installed but didn't launch. blank screen.

Thanks for confirmation another query is can I download the game before registering the keys (I think no)

I am doing a combine purchase so few games keys will be for friends and I will have to download the data for them. I am sure they wont share there steam accounts with me (can't disclose the reason :) )

Is it possible?
krishnandu.sarkar
Aug 17, 2013 at 11:23 AM
No. They have to share their steam A/c else if you redeem the key the game will be yours and bind to your A/c. Also there is no way to download the game before you buy / redeem.

No dude. Once u activate a game in your Steam account, you will not be able to transfer / gift it to any other account.
But you can do this,
Create a Steam account for them, activate the game in their account, and download via that.
Then give them the backup files.

Yeah I have faced similar issue when resuming download but it fixes it self after few seconds. When resuming it was going 0% & size showing 42MB but it fixes that after few seconds. So technically downloads are not getting reset.

This is the game which I first downloaded after getting the bundle. And I'm absolutely blank of what to do there?

Yeah after reading up I created 2 Sims and got a household. Now what?

Guess, I'll start of MGS4 or GOW3, it'll be much better :p

Interact with other Sims. Gear up towards your sims personality(career,family, have a baby etc). And IIRC, you can play online with other Sims. :D

basically, if you are planning to buy the Humble Origin Bundle, then make sure you have either Steam or Origin. Origin is a must here, since BF3 is possible to redeem through it.

So better to create an Origin Account, before the purchase.

Create VCC from ICICI Net banking and use it with Google Wallet/Direct CC Payment method. It will work. For many user, entropay worked, that means your ICICI VCC should work too.

Yup no need to have origin or steam account to buy the bundle. Just click 'Pay with credit card' and enter your CC number. It doesn't work with any debit card.
If you dont have a CC make one by your bank's portal or Entropay.

You cannot txfer money thru Google Wallet. Ask your friend to purchase it as gift and send you the URL. Else, use your card, fill money in entropay CC and purchase.

Yes. Even i am telling him to create VCC using ICICI Internet Banking which works fine.

@kartikoli
Do you have Internet Banking enabled? Then what is stopping you from creating VCC, which your bank provides w/o any fee/charges.

Also Paypal accepts ICICI card AFAIK.

for the paypal i was using my IDBI debit card ... also have axis/sbi cards as well

Finally a member purchased the bundle for me

now which one should i download first (i think BF3 should be the first)
i have a copy of BF3 iso can this be used in any way to reduce the download size

Next step would be download and install Origin as well as Steam. Create account , login to the account and activate the games using the key that is in the humble bundle's page.

Forever. But once redeemed, you have to d/l it once before 30 days. Then only it will tie to your account.

is the bundle worth it...coz I have played 6 out of 8 ...and I am not keen on playing them again...also I am only interested in BF3 multiplayer...so is it worth it?

Still worth it.

Pings depend on the connection, you will get better pings if you have a stable WLAN. I play BCBF2 i still manage to get 200ms ping, when there are no Asian servers there. Hoping better pings from BF3 since its a very active game, there are many Asian servers.

it's safe.

Yes, it's safe. But here is my experience with NFS:Most Wanted.

I did the same thing with NFS Most wanted from a pirated copy. The download progress jumped and I had to download some 2 GB of data. But when I tried to play the game, it stuck in a black screen.

After some researching I found that there is a option of Verify Installation, when I did that it was showing some files need to be downloaded again. And at the end total data downloaded was the size of the game :-|

So good luck with this trick, it may or may not work. If you face any problem in running the game after installation, do the verify installation thing.

the installation takes 15gb but origin takes the completed download as 10.5gb so there are redundand files of 5gb something
now i am picking few big files (9.5gb + 5.5gb) and will start the download from start and keep on replacing them one by one (this will give me an idea which files can be used)

lets see if this work i will post the files name if they work as i have download of 11gb and if i can get 9.5gb then its still good

Dead Space is modern and have good graphics, but it give me a headache, i think this is due to dark environment, i have to verify it by playing again and see if i get headache again. Previously i had same problem with Black Mesa, playing that game for some time make me overloaded, had uninstalled it after playing it few times.

I installed Crysis 2 installed on Steam. Only problem i see is i have to manually enter key after Crysis start. Steam will show an ingame message with key, you have to type that key to access multi-player. Not sure if you have to do this in origin. I have not tried multiplayer yet.

medal of honor i too want to know if there any difference between installing on origin or steam. If both same, i will get it in steam.

Origin download is not the worst. I too had problem with origin downloading game.. i too thought that. I searched, found solution, i was using google dns. This forced me download from US server. I changed DNS to BSNL dns, now origin started downloading from Akami server hosted in BSNL, i got very good speed. In steam, you can select download server, origin use geo dns, so when you request download, it return IP of nearest server depending on your DNS server. I got very good speed after using BSNL name servers, never got that much speed with Steam. When i was using google dns (8.8.8.8) download reach 4 GB, then start again from 1 GB etc.. happened to me.

I was downloading from IP 117.239.141.27 (static.ill.117.239.141.27/24.bsnl.in)

Both these things are possible for Steam, as well as for Origin.

With Steam, you cannot use same a/c in multiple PCs at same time. That means, 1 PC you are online in Steam, and one PC you play in Offline mode, but you cannot be online in 2PCs simultaneously. Never tried before, but this is what i am assuming.

According to that, when u buy any origin game digitally, especially like the the current humble bundle, within 30 days of that purchase you should have that game in your download queue or download history in origin or that code will no longer be valid.

I asked the same question and got a different reply. If you want i can share the screenshot with you.

I asked the same question and got a different reply. If you want i can share the screenshot with you.

Is it the same one u posted #165 ?? It seems that the rep got a bit confused with the wording of your question, coz if u see she seems to be answering the question "I have purchased a game from origin store, is there any limit to when and how many times can i download the game from there?". I am a 100% sure that what I talked was what i posted, as i talked to the guy for nearly 10-12 minutes and he was very helpful too.
What I wrote was that for the purchase to bind to your account (paying money for it simply does not make u the owner apparently), you have to start downloading the game at least once before 30 days, after that its just the same as Steam, which everyone is already familiar with .
Hope this clears things up :)

Edit: If it's not that pic then ignore the 1st para :p

@anaklusmos
It was a pretty long conversation, and i do mention her i bought games from humble bundle, and if i don't download it once before 30 days, what will happen? And the see said that exact lines.

I asked her once again and make sure of this. Also, the wikipedia link posted by chris, mentioned the same. Let me try with some other EA rep.

The process remains the same, all he has to do is check the option "buy this as a gift" and he will receive an email from humble bundle containing the gift code which he can send to you. On clicking that link you will be directed to humble bundle site where u fill in the recipients email (in this case your own) email address and viola, you get the link to the codes page in ur email .

You just have to pay more than average to get all 10 games. If you will pay more that 1 dollar and less than average you will only get 6 games.

That's what I said. I don't have that huge HDD space now :( So I just can't download and delete them and waste my bandwidth.

I have downloaded BF3 and Mirrors Edge, so take those for now, keep playing them until I download the next games. Either way he won't be able to play all the game after receiving it. Instead he can enjoy one by one.

^^ They will not expire for a foreseeable future as per Humble Bundle FAQ page.

For Steam, once you enter the key, it link to your account.

For Origin, once you enter key, you need to download the game once before 30 days, then only it will tie up to your account.

Is it clear?

You should have read the Humble Bundle email that you got after redeeming that gift code. It clearly says, the keys will be there forever. But for security reasons you should redeem the keys as soon as possible. It's also recommended to redeem the keys ASAP, if for any reason they database gets compromised, your key will be gone. Otherwise they keys will be there forever.

What after i got the keys, entered into my stream/origin account then till when they will not expire?

They won't expire ever, once you redeem the keys in Steam / Origin, the games will be yours forever and lifetime. As already said, you can give that a/c to your grandson too :p

BTW, Origin has a rule, that you must start downloading the game within 1 month of redeeming / buying the key on Origin. Else it may get deleted. So start the download and cancel it on 1%. Then they will be there forever and you can download and play anytime when you wish to.

Steam has no such Rules AFAIK.

If i want to gift some keys to my friends do i then also need first to enter that key on my account? or i will have to give them before a month?

No, once you redeem the keys to your Steam / Origin A/c they will be binded to your A/c forever. You may share your A/c with other persons and one can download as much time as he wants from Steam / Origin.

But simultaneously only one session of login is allowed on both.

So you better give the key to friend and ask him to create a Steam / Origin A/c and redeem the key.

So if you want to give someone a key, you don't redeem that.

Hope that clears all your queries.

Dude, what is your problem? Explain that. Also to get BF3 and other games, you have to pay $4.94...

I am asking the steps to purchase the games. I have read the earlier posts here , not helpful to my particular case since my query is the most basic of them all.

If I pay $5 , that will be 5*68.(something) right?

1. Enter the amount
2. Enter captcha code
3. Enter your mail id.
4. Select mode of payment
5. Fill all fields they ask for and finish payment.
6. It will take you to site again, with URL for keys.

See, there is two tier of the bundle, one is Pay what you want above $1, you will get all the games except BF3, Sims3, C&C and Populas.
Another is above average. You will get all the games, including BF3 etc
The average amount keeps changing. Currently it is $4.92 and when OP posted it was $4.80. (I guess I dont have to explain how average is calculated.) So if you want to get all the games, you have to pay .01 extra of the average amount written in that site. .i.e $4.95(it was $4.80 when OP posted it, dont get confused with the title).

It is best to pay $5, as you will not loose much. and yes 5*68 Rs will be deducted from your card.

I know :p, sometimes simple things can be complicated. Haven't dealt with dollars yet so had some doubts.
1. Are the games pre-selected or would I have to select.
2. I have Steam installed & it says "only select titles with Steam" , so do I am better off with Origin or Steam. I don't want Games like Sims 3 otherwise I will seriously forget the real world :-D.
3. After I get the keys, I use those keys in Steam/Origin & download ?

Doubts after step 3 are almost answered in earlier posts.

@furious_gamer: Will Bank of Baroda charge some of its own sh!t for this like Service charge?

games list is already there, sorry ..

"Pay what you want. On their own, all these mind-blowing titles would cost more than $240, but we’re letting you name your price! Pay any price for The Sims 3 and Battlefield 3 soundtracks. A purchase of $1 or more gets you Origin* keys for all the games and you can also get Steam keys for Dead Space, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Medal of Honor, and Mirror's Edge! Beat the average and get The Sims 3, two expansion packs in The Sims 3 Starter Pack, Battlefield 3, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising (Steam key included), and Populous. "

@furious_gamer: Will Bank of Baroda charge some of its own sh!t for this like Service charge?

1. Games are pre-selected based on amount. If you enter below 5$, you get 6 games, above 5$ you get 10 games.
2. If you don't want SIMS 3 but you want BF3, pay 5$, gift the SIMS 3 key to someone else. You need Steam as well as Origin account. Better to have both.
3. Yes.


Regarding BoB Card charges, they don't charge anything extra. Just the conversion rate.

Look below...

Origin will resume downloads if I Shut Down , right?

Did somewhere he mention about pause, no. So, your question is already answered but you didn't read it. See i am not being rude, but the very basic thing to do is, read posts above before asking any question.

In this thread, most of the questions are already answered, but in same page itself, people are asking same question. It makes the thread looks clumsy and loose it's quality.

What if I don't cancel/pause it and shut down?

Huh? The quote you quoted said '' remember to pause it'' and my question is if I dont remember to pause it and shut down the pc what will happen?

IDK bro, I didn't do that. With torrents I can think of direct shut down as on startup it checks for the checksum and all.

But I don't think it'll resume download if you just shut it down, because on shut down, technically system sends terminate message to all the running processes if they don't terminate it force kills all.

So theoretically I don't think it'll resume download if you don't pause it.

Though you can try it out, we can then know what happens :p

But don't dare to do that if a huge part is downloaded :D

To all who are panicked about 30 days download thing, read these carefully.

*help.ea.com/article/no-expiration-for-origin-downloads

Do games expire after 30 days on origin if you don't download them? - Yahoo!7 Answers

Long story short, this limitation was in EA Download Manager, which is replaced by Origin, so there is no such kind of limitation. Your game will stay forever even if you never download them. Even in worst case your game disappeared you can show them proof of purchase and get that game back.

It depends on the procedure which download manager follows. Anyway, as I said, I really never tried it. But as questions are coming up, I'm sure one can test it. Like download 1% - 2% and shut down pc directly without Pausing. And on restart let us know if it's working fine.

But safe side is always to pause. Directly terminating a process can hamper your data.

You mean all humble bundles since it's inception?? (It doesnt seem true for the normal humble bundle, but for the new weekly one it's BTA price is more than the average.)
The humble bundle has another change, the bonus games are now BTA-only. You cant buy non-BTA early and still expect to get them :-( .

From their website :

But a little more on-topic: The company must be low on money or something, if they're doing this. Or maybe they're just pissed off because of people exploiting the humble bundles. :-x

Inception of humble bundle is like 2011 sometime. So average for the weekly bundle is the average price of every humble bundle sold from then. That's why it's quite high.
