    doesnt sound right if you are loading from disc. should maybe be 500meg-1 gig in patches etc.
    i read something in the shogun 2 forum about steam downloading entire 20 gig game even though discs were being used.
    sounds like steam maybe downloading entire ntw game. check shogun 2 forums and ask there
    in the meantime pause the download

    If you installed the game from discs, just stop the download, and then the game will run as normal. I had the same with empire.

    well i put disc in. go install. it opens steam and validates game in like 20 secs. then windows pops up saying updating napoleon total war and there is steam window showing downloading at 5%... almost 20 gigs left to go?!

    this isnt just rite . why doyou need cd anyway if you are downloading 20 gigs?!.
    so ther eisnt way around it hm.... steam sux

    Yes there is, stop the download by closing steam. Then login again.
