I got the all the DLC in CIU, and I imported them into the mobile versions, the problem is how do I install the CIep series on my pc? I see that the only way is within steam, I purchased the DLC in CIU, why do I have to purchase them again? I can’t find the solution for this.
please, can somebody tell me how do I install the series on my PC?
sorry if this is a dumb question if the solution is easy
You need to own the game at InterAction Studio site.
It’s not like you can import the account into the game like mobile does, you’re also need to buy it again too (same case for Steam).
so there’s no way to get them on PC for free, another question, Will IA make them available on PC without steam, or having to buy the game at InterAction Studio?
This is a major miscommunication, or rather lack of, on CIU’s side. Buying a DLC gives you a DLC. Buying a Steam version gives you the game in steam and the CIU DLC and the standalone Episode. Buying a game on interactionstudios.com gives you everything Steam gives plus cheats in classic games and Internet (non-steam) multiplayer (if present). Unfair? Quite. Should CIU mention this before letting you buy anything? Absolutely.
It’s not practical to roll out a flow chart at the time of purchase. “Do you already own previous episodes?” “Did you buy them on Steam or the InterAction studios website?” “Do you also have a mobile device?” “Is it Android or iOS?” “No, wait! Episodes don’t exist yet on iOS.” “No, wait! Don’t buy the DLC within CIU, buy the stand-alone Steam game and then export it to CIU.”
Admittedly, this is all a huge mess. It’s not easy unifying purchases that took place over a span of 20 years, on different websites and across different platforms.
I spent a lot of time and effort in an attempt to maintain existing purchases and not require players to buy the game(s) again. In certain cases this has been achieved. But it’s not a perfect system, and there are some scenarios where it simply doesn’t work.
my computer is windows 7 and maybe some players there computer doesn’t support steam like me
Is there any plans to add stand alone version for episodes?
So there is another way, download the Game Loop emulator on the computer so that you can download the APK file of the episodes and then install it on the emulator, so that your computer works well and is fast.
From what I know, if you buy the standalone version from IA, it comes with cheats active. I can verify that with the standalone CI2 I have. But, the Steam version of 2R I have has no cheats active.
Yes, cheats are only present in original episodes, but they also are only in the website version of episodes. Steam version of original episodes don’t have them.
You can upgrade computer up Windows 11 to use Steam and use IPv4 and IPv6 by IP Andress DNS because the Steam is block internet prevent you access the store CIU to download or play on the Steam
