I assume I can just copy my L4D2 folder from the laptop to my desktop. It wasn't installed on there and said about 12 hours :S I don't think it gets a very good wifi signal up there :(

Yeah that'll work fine, copy them over then start steam and validate the files (right click on the game in Steam).

I copied the files over from the laptop. The closest to what you said was validate game cache, or something similar in the game properties, but I couldn't select it.

I tried to install it with the files in place and it took a while to discover existing content, but then deleted it and started downloading the game instead.

:( Are we better waiting for this game at a time when Smiffy has been uncapped and you're able to sit in your attic with something approaching a working install? :J

Not having much luck getting it to work at the mo :( I'm not sure how long it's going to be downloading upstairs but a couple of hours at least I'd guess.

I'm zipping up my L4D2 folder at the mo and I'll try transferring that across to my desktop instead because I had to copy everything in two goes earlier as my flash drive isn't big enough for it all so I might have missed something. I'll see if that works.

I'll also have to sort out somewhere to put my mouse because I don't have a desk, I've been using it on my leg which is awkward while also holding a keyboard on my lap :S

Oh FFS. It's just spent 20 minutes squishing files into a zip, not much left, then said it was out of space :@

Argh! My mouse seems to have stopped working! And I restarted Windows to see if it's a problem with that instead of my mouse and it's doing some updates :O

At first I thought you were suggesting that for my original problem of not having it installed on my desktop, but I'm guessing what you actually mean is to get it running on my laptop. Might be worth a try. I wonder how much lag there is.

I thknk it was just my internet going slow. It's been doing that a bit at certain times recently. Later on it was fine.

It might not be too difficult to run an ethernet cable from my router behind the TV to the attic. Up through the airing cupboard. I might look into doing that actually.
