Just wondering if there's any way I can make sure it installs from the CDs/DVD/whatever and not Steam (I don't want to go over my bandwidth limit and shouldn't need to since I'm buying a physical retail copy).
I realise updates are downloaded (but that's different). Is there any way to force Steam to install the games using the actual CDs/DVD?
Thanks all!


You might want to try setting Steam to "offline mode". That might do the trick.
