fitness88 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Can I add DCS to my Steam library without affecting my DCS license [will I still be able to run DCS without Steam if I choose to]? What if any are the advantages of running DCS through Steam? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz1004 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yes you can add 3rd party games through the Add Games button at the bottom of Steam Game library. Advantages... it used to be you can change per application setting by doing this but doesn't seem to work for me anymore. Maybe I have to re-add it after every Steam update. Another advantage is that you can start DCS directly from SteamVR Home so you don't have to start it from desktop first. That's about it I think. And No, it doesn't affect your license and Yes, you still can run without Steam.

Opening DCS from desktop is 1 click, seems to me to be the quicker way but I do believe there are some unique Steam features you can use with DCS.

Apart from that DCS standalone gets no features as an added 3rd party to Stream library, except for what Taz says, as far as I know. And even the Steam version of DCS has no benefits either as far as I can tell. CheersSent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to opt in for Steam Beta though. But yes, Steam client is off course needed.Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
