Abit off topic, steam issues

[Larsel]

So i have m2tw on steam and it has worked just fine, had no problems playing ss.
But then suddenly today when i get up and try to play the game steam needs to download the entire m2tw kingdoms for some reason?? Havent changed or done anything since last time i played the game other than turning the computer off and on? any1 else tried this and got some solutions on what to do ? cba to download kingdoms again

Same here, I think it's updating though which is strange since I thought CA already abandoned M2TWK updates. Problem is I can't find any update news on this so I hope that it's not actually reinstalling the whole game

yeah i thought i was an update at first too, but then i saw it was 6.3 gb or something

Apparently this problem is spread by HTTP contact with this thread. less than 12 hours after I saw this, I'm now downloading all of m2tw. Never should have checked this thread

Immunize your port 80 before it's too late!!

EDIT: steam screwed up Stainless Steel, but I didn't have to reinstall from scratch - I simply verified the game file integrity with Steam to get kingdoms.exe back and used the steam fix in the SS FAQ thread.

In the off chance anyone else has that problem that sees this

Ugh that didn't work for me so I'm screwed. I have a feeling that it might have to do with the fact that I deleted the other campaigns except for crusades and it might be trying to reinstall all of them but so far I don't see any other files for the other campaigns pop up even though it's at 37%.
