--- Comment #17 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Adam,
--- quote --- This problem still exists for me in 1.7.9. --- quote ---
that's unfortunate then for you. Maybe the Steam version has some differences to non-Steam version.
I can only confirm/investigate with the retail (non-Steam) version of the game which works fine here.

A separate issue, unrelated to this bug. That can be avoided by setting two registry keys. The information can be usually found in 'installscript.vdf' for the game.
I can't actually verify as I don't own the Steam version of this game but it should be pretty similar because that's how it works for many Steam games.
Regards
