Steamed FFXI

[Zimbabwe Justice]

GameStop's online downloadable PC games are a joke as well, the prices and selection are absolutely ridiculous compared to Steam or even direct2drive.

[Narol]

Gamestop is a generally horrible company all around. Although funnily enough I live near a store called "Game Stop" with no apparent relation to the huge corporation and it's far better. Go figure.

Little update, Steam finally gave me 1 CD-Key, count em. 1. Not sure how it's supposed to work.

It's an identical key for each product
So if it you get

CD-Key:
ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456

then what you have is

POL Account Key: ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456
Rise of the Zilart Key: ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456
Chains of Promathia Key: ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456
Treasures of Aht Urhgan Key: ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456
Wings of the Goddess Key: ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456
A Crystalline Prophecy Key: ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456
A Moogle Kupo d'Etat Key: ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456
A Shantotto Ascension Key: ABCD-EFG1-IJ23-K456

Each can be used on a different account, or on the same (as SE presumably intends).

Um, actually windower works fine for me with the steam install.
I have vista 64 if that matters.

Actually, I got it working - the crashing was due to that annoying webcam/IR device driver bug...

Did anyone ever come up with a fix for that besides disabling the drivers after every restart?

[Blasta]

Wow this is good news!

(PS. Kayatani nice sig )

Does anyone know if they intend to release an EU ultimate collection containing everything as well? I was excited to go and buy this because my mule needs WoTG still and I could use the last two add-on scenario's myself, but then I remembered my mule is an EU account so I'll need an EU code.

Windower4 is the only work-around for IR devices bug currently iirc. Until it is fully supported you're out on a limb.

You can't actually use the same code on multiple accounts. I tried this myself as I needed the 3 expansions and my mule needs WotG. Registered expansions on my main and it wouldn't let me register anything else on the other char.

Well that's a bucket full of fail. Guess i got lucky that my mule is EU anyways and i would need an EU code anyway. i really hope the release this for EU! but still seems kinda a waste for me to only need it for the 3mini's+wotg! i could have made another mule with the rest! rawr.

I don't know about EU prices, but each addon is $10 each, and WOTG if you can still find it seperate is still around $20, so you'd actually save money just buying the $20 collection.

I don't have the steam version (yet) but please do explain how you got it working?

[blackmail]

Steam is unavailable in my country. Any way to get around this?

Except you can't use the Ultimate Collection on EU accounts.

Where/when did you get your code? Was it sent to your regular email address? POL Email address? Is there some kinda Steam message system that I'm not seeing?

[Kaisha]

Does it show under the right-click menu for FFXI under the steam interface? Games with serial-keys typically have a CD-Key tab if so.

You're right, I just found it. To clarify for other people:

When logged into your Steam account, go to the "My Games" tab.
Under this tab, you will see all of your games listed.
Right-Click "Final Fantasy XI: Ultimate Collection".
Select "View game CD Key" from the pull-down menu.
