What is the difference between the four versions of Civ 4 that Steam installs?
I just bought the Civ 4 complete edition from Steam with the 3 DLC packs, and I now have 8 different versions in my library. Four of them are SteamOS versions, but I can't figure out what to do with the other 4 versions. Can I not play a game with all 4 versions enabled at once? How does this system work? Civ 3 and Civ 5 all have a single version, why not Civ 4?
Best Answer
There are two odd issues with Civilization IV that are at play here.
The first is that there is a separate entry in Steam for the Mac and Windows versions. I'm not sure why this is, as other games successfully use a single entry and install the correct version based on the current OS.
The second is that the Civ IV DLC are all stand alone games in Steam - you can install and play them independently of each other. That is why there are four separate entries for Civ IV.
Take the two issues together, and you have 8 entries in your library for Civilization IV.
