IL2 activation question

[Hyroda]

Hey,

 

I'd purchased IL2 BoN(Standalone). All works fine, im happy haveing it

The question i'd like to ask is how to add BoB into the Game BoN(Stabdalone). The core Game "BoS" wich i have to, is noticed in game.

 

Activation Keys are also mentioned in Il2 Greatbattles nor BoB isnt.

Further: im not sure were i could find my activation Keys on Steam.

 

How to behave to manage this issue?

I understand you have Battle of Stalingrad on Steam; and Battle of Normandy from this website. I also understand that the Steam version has recognized your web purchase of Battle of Normandy, and Normandy content is now playable when you launch the Steam version. If I am correct, all you need to do is purchase Battle of Bodenplatte and it will also be active in the Steam version.

 

I own several of the stand-alone modules including Normandy and Bodenplatte. I have never installed them as "standalone" because I use Steam as my launcher. There is a guide that explains how to install and activate if you are not using Steam:

Click on the link I provided and then click  on the red manual. Or, click here to go directly to the red manual.

 

I'm not understanding what you want to do. The Steam version of Battle of Stalingrad will recognize and merge your web purchases if you link your Steam account to your web store profile. The manual explains how to do that. Once you link your accounts you should be able to play the Normandy and Bodenplatte content when you launch your Steam version. You don't need to find a license key. The access is instant because all of the Great Battles content (including Flying Circus and Tank Crew) is already installed to your PC through Steam. When you buy expansions--either here or on Steam--it just unlocks what is in your Steam version.

 

If you choose to install your Normandy and Bodenplatte outside of Steam you need the Client from webstore. I think you have already done that and set up the launcher. If I understand correctly, that is how you are playing Battle of Normandy. I believe the launcher will recognize your future web store purchases. However, it will not recognize your Steam purchases.

 

If you bought Bodenplatte on Steam, your best option is to link your accounts and add your Normandy license to your Steam version.

By "BoB" you don't mean "Battle of Britain" do you?  Cliffs of Dover?

 

If that is the case I'm afraid you cannot merge them, that is an older series and not part of the "Great Battles" series.

once more:

 

i got all the games deinstalled on steam. BoN i have bought as discount (standalone game),.

All the installation worked fine. / i have noticed the main game doesnt reqognized Battel of Bodenplatte, even i use to have Battel of Stalingrad outside of steam.

 

im not sure how to get BoB inside the gamefolder of Battel of Normandy.

Im trying to get BoB inside Battel of Normandy going, wich im not sure how to do this.

 

i dont want to get both Steam or Il2 Great Battels installed, (that is alot of HD)

 

 

regards

^ That doesn't explain much to be honest. Let's clear it up - you've got BoS (bought on Steam), BoN (bougth standalone) and BoB:

1) is the last one Steam or standalone purchase?

2) do you plan to play all of them through Steam, or outside of it?

[Hyroda]

hey;

 

1) BoB the last one, is bought via Steam.

 

2)i want them all play outside of Steam

You can't play your Steam purchases outside of Steam.

 

You CAN play your web store purchases inside the Steam version of Stalingrad, along with your Steam DLC for Stalingrad. You simply need to link your Steam account to the web store.

hey, you'll have to buy BOB again IMO. Wait for a sale ...

I could be wrong, but when you buy, and install one module, you are downloading all the GB content, but only have access to what you purchased. If that is the case, then you already have all the content downloaded, so it shouldn't be any more drive space used if you add your other modules via Steam.
