I just got Metro 2033 from Gamersgate, thus far the experience has been horrible. First the downloader just downloads to the directory in which you received the installer. You http://keeppcquiet.blogspot.com/2011/08/error-1324-invalid-character-program.html have to move it to another directory ( possibly drive if you are using a small SSD ). Next you will get this login with an awful flaw : changing fields using the http://www.1upclan.info/forum/index.php?topic=13767.10;wap2 mouse instead of the typical TAB key.

In the left-hand column of your registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam. Right-click on Valve select Delete. Close your Registry Editor. After you manage to get Steam installed, you will then be required to enter the serial. It seems like all of this would have been easier with a game purchased in a retailer... 24/08/2011 update : I finally managed to get the game working. A 2.2GHz Dual Core CPU is not enough. My Nvidia Quadro FX 570M GPU is barely under any load. Steam will download other things for a couple hours.
