    Yeah, it fully uses Steamworks - for drm, server browsing, and achievements. Just like a retail bought Valve game, for example.

    Yes, Dawn of War II is a very recent example for this. I just hope that Empire doesn't install in the same way as DOW II though. My slow internet connection will mean it will take me days to get it working, and I can't wait that long! :(

    Yea I think UT3's latest patch added Steamworks to it too.  If you have Steam installed it'll just add it to the games list.


    I think it's great, the more games that do this the better.  Seriously, everyone use Steam.

    Dawn of War II uses GFW Live for its multiplayer, but otherwise, yes.

    Also, Installing Dawn of War II from the disc and, when it's released, there should be a similar FAQ for Empire: Total War.
