Skyrim is my first game that uses Steam. I struggle with the Steam client and come here asking for help and/or confirmation on what I am experiencing so far.
Do I understand correctly, I can't install a steam game wherever I want? All steam games must be installed in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common? I usually like installing my games on my D: drive but so far I seem to have no control where steam installs Skyrim.
My Steam preferences seem to go ignored. I check a box. Next day I notice Steam not starting up at the location I specified or some other oddity. Is it common that Steam preferences do not save or commonly revert back to default settings? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone sometimes.
Do I understand correctly that my Steam account has its own Username/Password, the Steam forums have yet their own Username/Password, and finally, Steam Support yet has their own Username/Password. Is that right? If so, just wow.
When Skyrim was patching via steam, all it says is 'downloading update.' Is there a way to specifically know what update is downloading? I hate being in the dark as to what is going on with uploads and downloads. Am I missing something? For example, I would like to see 'Downloding Skyrim Patch 1.4' or something of that nature rather than just 'downloading update.'
Does anyone else feel like it is difficult to find things on the Steam client? Or maybe it's just me? I'm pretty good navigating things but it seems like I'm having a difficult time finding whatever it is I'm looking for. Anyway, just wondering if it's me.
Thanks for any enlightenment you can share.
