Can't play TF2?

I downloaded "Crossover Games", a program that lets some games run on mac. Of course, I torrented this instead of buying it. I also torrented a copy of TF2. Although I've had a few problems a few times, I've gotten as far to run the game properly, and open up the "find servers" menu, and actually see servers. If I try to join one though, I get the error "Invalid steam key ID" or something. It wasn't ike I wasn't expecting problems, but does anyone have any suggestions?



None.

The least you can do is buy the seam key ID.

Get Steam and buy the game. Most likely you'll need to get Windows as well, cause as far as I know, Steam doesn't work on Mac. And how dare you torrent an awesome game like TF2? ;P

It was more of a test then anything. I wanted to see if this 3rd party thing worked, and I didn't want to buy a windows game, open it up, and it be completely useless.
I might buy the orange box now, knowing that it works.

It actually says "invalid steam key id size", my mistake.

You'd probably have an easier time with a singleplayer game like Half-life 2 instead. Call of Duty 4 is one thing, but Steam as a platform is another. I'm sure it's been cracked, but I'm also sure it's a lot harder.

Of course, the last game I torrented was Baldur's Gate when I lost the CDs.

NudeRaider -- The visuals are good, the animation is terrible: the movement is off, the impacts in battle scenes have zero weight to it, the lip sync is right up uncanny valley. But yeah, considering what it is it's pretty good overall.

NimoStar -- And Pathfinding in SC1 was not *that* bad, the problem is that it was designed as a flat 2D game like WC1 (and it was in the alpha) and then switched to isometric without changing the base code. So its actually a flat game pretending to be isometric. With the custom competitive maps that use larger ramps and elevation, pathfinding is quite fixed.

NimoStar -- The unlocking and map choice was fine, but mostly in WoL - In HoTS the worst of all units are irrelevant because Kerrigan has infinite summon and stuff. And even in WoL the spaceship instakill map powers are better than units. If I could RTS in my RTS that'd be great.

Nekron shouted: NudeRaider not that the og sc1 campaigns are particularly good mechanically but cmon, SC2 map mechanics are the opposite of fun
There's many parts to it. I think the raw rts gameplay of sc1 is unsurpassed to this day. And I too never liked that sc2 missions always rush you in some way or another, because I like to take my time. However I still have to admit that they way they did it often was always pretty cool. Like lava rising and receding, a huge-ass mothership destroying bases, undead coming at night, just to name a few, those are definitely creative, so I'm sure there's people that liked it. But that's not even what I meant. It's the unlocking of new features and upgrades and choice which map to play next that made it so much more motivating for me.
