Just to clarify, this IS just a cd-rom game, right? You just pop it in the drive and play?

no I think you need the cd to play that I think it has been a long time lost one of my cd so when I got a new computer now I can not play it

Because I've not tried to play games from a disc using this drive, I don't know for sure. Maybe you can. If you can copy the game from the disc (in the drive) to your computer, I suppose it is possible. However, copy protection might be an obstacle.

Yes, essentially the disc is there only for the installation. All launching and play of the game would be from Steam.

Put the game in your CD tray. It may need to download something to your computer

Yes, I have done it. The CD shows up in/on your computer exactly as it would if the disc were in your internal CD drive (at least it does for me) so it's just the same.

No, you have to install the game on your computer it requires a certain amount of space on your hard drive ..see product for details on that. That's how computer games work. If you want a pop it in and play version , look for it on Xbox

You will need a internet connection, type in the activation code located in the CD case. This is a one time thing, and you must have the CD in your computer to play. It's a great game so enjoy.

Have you tried copying the entire contents of the disc to a USB flash drive and installing to your computer from the flash drive?

I recommend you to use the installation CD, however, you can just plug it and play.

You would have to get an external disk drive or put the game on a flash drive. Both are cheap.

Did you buy a physical "DVD" game or did you by a download game? I have the physical DVD game and I do not need to use the disc (after initial installation) to play the game. I purchased it this way intentionally because some of the online downloaded games have to be run through an online server like Steam and there fore can only be played while you are on line (WIFI connected) and I use my laptop while traveling and seldom have a WIFI connection. Since you don't have an internal DVD player your options would be to buy an external USB player (they can be very inexpensive, from 19.99 up) to download a physical DVD of the game or buy an on line downloadable version.

So how do I get my games, clipart, and even movies that are on CD or DVD onto this little thing?

It comes with a cd that you can load the game off of. According to the booklet you don't have to download it via the cd and can just activate it from steam, but I don't have any experience with that so I'm not sure how that would work out for you.

Let me explain more in detail have you ever played a game that comes with two disks inside? The game and the other the installation for the game? It's the same thing. But this one you have you pay xD just put the disk inside your ps4,pc,or PS3,install the content,and play the game ^^
505212
It sound a like your computer does not read the disk or something like that. You must have the CD Rom in the computer to play it!

Yes, to play the dlc content the second disc needs to be installed to the systems hd

Yep! I would suggest choosing the program to play it through instead of letting it autoplay, but it has a disk drive.
