Earth 2160 launchable?

I just got the .ncf or whatever for Earth 2160. When I try to launch it in Steam, it just gives me some kind of error, and when I try to use SBRev, it won't install. Does anyone know how to launch Earth 2160?

EDIT: Wait, I'll try extracting it first.

 

ummm abit more information please, i think you have to download the gcf dont you, that has the majority of the files within it.

Edit: heres you first clue why it wont work, how big is the ncf.

 

Where do I get the GCF?

 

ermmmmmmmmm trying looking under the section gcf/ncf, i mean mate seriuosly how hard is it to find that perticular section.

 

it is not in gcf format
but in ncf
means: you have some small ncf files which contaion informations about the files which should be present at \steamapps\common\<game name>

so it isn't enough to just have the ncf files
you also need the files which have to be in \common\earth 2160
after that you need to replace the exe and apply a reg fix
then, after launching, still the process of activation
don't worry, i've upped the fixed exe, the reg-fix and 2 keygens for you here

 

Fcuk N008 lol that saved me some explaining, ty lol =).

 

What about those files in /commom/earth 2160?

 

i thought you had to dl via steam but i could be wrong.

 

Steam says Download completed.

 

delete your appupdatestatus.blob (but make a backup of it first)
and try again

 

It just went straight to 100% again.

 

try to verify the game
have you got all common files?
and what kind of message does it give you?

 

Game not available at this time. What are common files? lol

EDIT: Oh, nope. Only the folders they go in.

 

well, then get them first

 

From where?

 

common_files are located in the steamapps folder they are like extracted GCF/NCF files basically each folder in there is for a particular game. If your 100% sure Steam verifys and it says 100% you already have everything. Other than that try another program or crack to launch it. I had a similar problem with Heroes of Annihilated Empires but it was reduced to $15 from $40 so I just bought it.
