    Default can't re-install empire total war

    I'll explain as quickly as possible.

    Installed once. The gamed worked fine.

    Uninstalled properly. Came back to the game a few months later, used the same account details as during the fist installation, but steam tells me i am using a duplicate code which was used in another account, when i indeed am using the proper account!

    Triple and quadruple checked. The account is the proper one.

    Do you guys have any solution for my issue?

    It's a , having paid for a game and being unable to play it...

    Log into Steam, click on Library, does Empire show up? If so, click on it and it should just reinstall itself.

    No, it doesn't show up. That's the weird thing about it, i know it should, but it doesn't.

    I should mention here that i had also uninstalled steam, alongside with Empire. Would that be a factor?

    Did you use the same log in you used before you uninstalled Steam? That is the one your activation info is under.

    Dig out your email receipt for the game and contact Steam support. Someone could have jacked it.

    I will, but as i already wrote, when searching by game code, steam shows me that it's attached to my current username/password details, so it doesn't look like it was jacked...

    Right click on what? I am not seeing any games on my games list, which is the curious thing, since it says the code is attached to my current username/password combination...
