Updates on payment: I tried with a MasterCard and a VISA debit card (both international) and both failed on Steam.

@ Faun: How do you pay for games on Steam?

Indian Debit cards for some banks don't work for online transactions (despite the International tag). It's due to the 3D Secure Code thing that's needed by nearly every Indian bank and American banks don't use them.

You can use Entropay , which I suggested 2-3 pages back. I used it until I got a credit card from HDFC.

If you need more information , PM me.

CC..........

Re: Steam related discussions

or one can use the Virtual Credit Card by HDFC.

Re: Steam related discussions

Entropay is a little too much imho. I'll try HDFC VCC and check. That seems to be my best bet. Else, I'll just find someone with a CC to buy me the games.

Purchased Metro 2033 from Steam at 5 USD. Any way of scheduling the game install? I have a 2-8 night UL connection, so can't really install it before that.

Re: Steam related discussions

well i bought the counter strike bundle for 7.79 USD and I did that with a VISA ELEctron Debit card and it worked

I dont think Credit cards are always a necessity to buy from Steam, are they?

Here is what I would do to save myself from all the geeky solutions.
1.Add steam to your start up program.
2. Look for the option of alarm in your motherboard. Most motherboards have this feature that when they have power supply they can turn on at specified time.
3. At 2 AM your computer will turn on and steam will start at start up itself and start downloading stuff in the download que.
4. I don't have a solution for turning it off. If you can't think of a clean geeky solution, just put an alarm.
If it works tell me.

^for auto shutdown make a shortcut and type the following in the box

shutdown.exe -s -f -t 1800

add the time in seconds after which you want your pc to turn off.

I clearly told u the funda on steam & you still keep on asking this. You have an Axis bank account & ur debit card card worked doesn't means others wont face any issues with their debit cards. The least you can do is tell everyone here what Axis debit card you used - gold, classic, etc

Login once. And then when running steam next time, select offline mode and enjoy.

Re: Steam related discussions

theres no need to login to go "offline mode"
lol, that doesnt even make sense.

disconnect your internet/ turn off modem, then start steam, it'll take sometime & then pop-up telling no network found... - in hat pop-up - there'd be an "Start in offline" option.

Re: Steam related discussions

Oh crap, i forgot to mention that you need to disconnect net. Or will blocking steam in firewall work might work.
