Steam on XP

[DanilVusenko86]

Soo it works but it can't download games and apps. Just installing was on 0% and that's all. And + steam loads very slowly

Steam require a function called SetFileCompletionNotificationModes, what is half implemented on 2003. And that impl is not enough for Steam...So, we did a hack to make steam works but have some side effects, like downloads several times get a timeout. Only thing to do: retry download until work.

Alternatively, you can download the game to Steam on another PC. Then Steam will automatically copy the files to your XP PC via the local network. This is how I did it and it works without any problems
