Khamedus Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 My computer kinda sucks, but I love her. She has a hard time running the game on higher graphics due to low ram, 8G. I'd like to run the game without Steam, can I transfer my account to a non steam account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFT2020 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If you are having issues running the game, steam is not your bottleneck. Also, this sounds like a request to hack the game…….so nice try 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban Blackbear Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It's not Steam. You can close the Steam program out once it launches the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true... if you close Steam it will close any game currently launched from Steam. At least this is how it works with A19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not that I can't run the game, it just lags, and I'd like to reduce that. I didn't realize it was steam only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're asking how to run the game without Steam, as in, without Steam account authentication.. that would be handy for a software pirate. Discussing that on a game's forum is generally poor form, sometimes even bannable... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugginator Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Steam takes between 0.0% to 0.1% of my cpu and less then or right at 100mb of ram, it's not steam; you should look at other processes and reducing graphics options/resolution if you really have an issue. The only reason someone would want to bypass Steam is to bypass the authentication for thing such as piracy, so it would be against the rules here for anyone to help you with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came here to say essentially the above. Steam is a digital rights management (DRM) tool but it has a very small footprint and barely takes any resources it also is very forgiving of internet connection as in there is an offline mode and even when online it doesn’t dial home all that frequently. If the game is running slow the problem is not steam the problem is something else. Check what is running on you PC when it slows do control-alt-delete, look for something using a huge amount of ram or cpu add more memory build/buy newer machine and retire your favorite to running a 7D2D server or other duties.

My experiences with Path of Exile have left me down a dark and harrowing mentality of assuming that most games on Steam are also available on another platform as well, thereby deeply offending randos on the internet.

I wasn't aware that would be a thing. I've played Path of Exile for years and they had a separate platform from Steam, I just assumed it would be like that for most Steam games, especially from independent developers. And for some damn reason, Steam runs like, 200k+ ram and is usually the second highest eater of ram next to the game itself. Buuuuuut I did figure out a workaround with setting and all that, and it's running much smoother now. I also close the steam window and run through a mod launcher, now it's working better. Really, I just need to upgrade my damn computer 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maharin Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 PSA: Restarting Steam after downloading game updates greatly reduces its RAM usage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugginator Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 There are a lot of settings that reduce things like animations and auto play stuff. You can also disable the store and such, turning on family mode will auto do that, hardware acceleration and such too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crater Creator Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Steam was hogging a ridiculous amount of CPU on my Mac, until I went to the friends list settings and turned on "Don't embed images and other media in-line" and "Disable animated room effects". For some reason Steam does a poor job of handling chat windows with animated GIFs, videos, and similar doodads that've become commonplace, even if the chat window isn't active.

meganoth Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Lets add some common sense here: Khamedus asked to TRANSFER his steam version to a non-steam version and he gave a reason for it. Assuming this has anything to do with people with parrots on their shoulder is as farfetched as me associating piracy with people with parrots on their shoulder 😉 My conclusion: Too many paranoid people in this thread. And that is coming from someone who actually IS paranoid 😁 Edited July 31, 2021 by meganoth (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doughphunghus Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) I know this has kinda turned into a "is this really an issue or not" but, I'll throw in some data for anyone who is legitimately trying to play the game on an old sprouted potato of a PC: I had a non gaming windows laptop (very old and flimsy/sad) that would not play 7D2D (literally crashed after a few minutes at 1 FPS or lower, on lowest graphics settings I could do) but it would play Factorio.... so it was just a "my laptop is way underpowered" issue for 7D2D. I reinstalled windows one day (figured I'd clean house but still needed Windows for 2 apps I use rarely, and Steam;) ) and magically I could play 7D2D on lowest settings! and by "play" I mean: barely..but not *nearly* as bad as before. But the graphics were so bad vs my "gaming PC" its still not worth playing on this system. So the game was likely hampered quite a bit by the terrible specs of my PC but also by: - Bloat on the PC from years of apps being installed, that load their own services and use up CPU/memory, etc. - A driver/graphics thing or something obscure that just needed resetting.
