    I converted my Uber Key to a Steam Key. How do you put the key into steam and play it?

    Simple question, just need to know!

    In left bottom corner of Steam window click "Add a game..." then "Activate a Product on Steam..."
    Also after you play game though Steam once you'll able to use standalone launcher again.

    According to DxDiag info you only have onboard (integrated on motherboard) graphics card:
    Unfortunately it's don't have features game require and game won't work on it. :(

    Though your OS is really outdated and system information messes up. Any chance this is incorrect info?

    Unfortunately your DxDiag missing some important bits:
    Code:
    System Manufacturer: n/a
           System Model: n/a
                   BIOS: n/a
              Processor: n/a (2 CPUs)
    So I don't even know if you have laptop or desktop PC. Any info on that?

    If it's desktop you should able to get proper discrete graphics card as well as power supply unit and game will work.

    While you're working on the specs to get the game running, I just wanted to add that you'll also need to link your Steam account to your UberNet account.
    You can do that here: https://uberent.com/user/linkedsteamaccount

    Then you need to check what hardware you have. If you actually don't have graphics card you need to buy one and possible replace your PSU if required.

    I can't say what exactly graphics card you need because it's depends on what you can afford, but I recommend to stick to this:
    • It's should be Nvidia GPU.
    • It's need to have at least 1GB GDDR5 (! )
      Though if you can afford something like $120+ then you need 2GB GDDR5.
    • For example Nvidia GTX 750 Ti 2GB should work good.
    But again keep in mind if you have desktop without discrete graphics card it's most likely have extremely cheap PSU (like 300 watt) so you will obviously need to get new power supply too.

    PS: If you want to play big battles it's also can be useful to get more RAM:
    Code:
    Memory: 4096MB RAM
    Available OS Memory: 4060MB RAM

    It's should be in PCI Express slot and your monitor have to be connected to this graphics card and not your motherboard.

    Unfortunately I can't help you ther because it's depends on hardware you have. E.g you'll need to open your PC case to check that.

    You might find lot of how-to's about that in Google and on YouTube there is tons of tutorials how you can check that stuff. Or you can ask some tech savvy guy who can help you.

    Most likely you'll need to buy new graphics card and power supply and then install it in your PC.

    If you don't have graphics card and you don't want to buy one game won't work. This won't be fixed with updates.

    Ok thanks for all your help but could you just explain to me why I would need all of that? If I have a graphics card why need a new one and why a new power supply? Thanks soooo much again :)
