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.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites

fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

dumbducky -- I am so good at procrastinating

Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.
