  1. Nistro liked a post in a topic by quanzi in [GUIDE] Running BattleForge on Steam and having it count towards your playtime   
    As you might have known, BattleForge used to be available on Steam both as a demo and a full game. Even now that the game has been removed from Steam, you can still download the demo (the original version that comes with the retail DVD). This is a short guide on how to play SkylordsReborn on Steam using that demo.
    1. Download and extract SkylordsReborn to your PC, say D:\BattleForge.
     
    2. Run Steam in background. Open up your browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) and type this into the address bar: steam://install/24770
    A popup menu will ask if you want to open that URL with a specific application, select Steam Client Bootstrapper.

    Steam should start downloading BattleForge demo (~2.2GB).
    3. Run the demo from Steam once to start the installation process. Once the launcher shows up, close it.
    4. Copy everything inside the folder from step (1) to the demo installation location, replacing any duplicated files.
    e.g. from D:\BattleForge
    to D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battleforge
    5. Delete any extra files that are in the demo installation folder but not in the SkylordsReborn folder (from step 1) except these 3 files:
    steam_appid.txt
    settings.ini
    Bootstrapper.exe
    6. Rename Bootstrapper.exe to Bootstrapper.exe.org (think of it as a way of backing up).
    7. Open a command prompt (as admin if you installed the demo in drive C:\), type this and press Enter:
    mklink "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battleforge\Bootstrapper.exe" SkylordsRebornUpdater.exe

    This should create a new symbolic link called Bootstrapper.exe that will run SkylordsRebornUpdater.exe.

    8. Done. You can now launch SkylordsRebornUpdater by launching BattleForge demo from Steam (just click Play). Steam will try to run Bootstrapper.exe which will just run SkylordsRebornUpdater.exe.
    Steam chat should display your profile as "Playing BattleForge Demo" (not playing non-Steam game) and will continue to do so until you exit BattleForge (exact behavior as any other Steam games).

    Your playtime will also be recorded in your Steam profile.

    Maybe it will work if you use some more exclamation marks.

    This might be considered as spam but I thought it might belong here

    THE DELAYING METHOD :
    Hello There , my name is Eviatar , former player of battleforge by EA , was one of my favorite games EVER.
    Now I would like to ask you a question friend , 
    this Method of you guys , is that look normal to you pal ? 
    Have you ever seen a game , promised to release a month after a month and constently and repeatedly fails its fans down?
    I can tell you i have never encountered anything like that anywhere else , I rarly knew few games that delayed their release dates ONCE , not more .
    Dont get me wrong pal , its not the programming part that i judge you guys about , no no , I had experience with programming before , I know how difficult and hard it can be , in that part you have my tottal understanding , 
    so please dont take me for a fool .
    the part i judge you guys about is the dates , as i sayd ive never seen anything like this , this is just a torture for some people , delaying again and again and again each time posting another heartbreaking post about the problems of the servers and how much you guys want to make this succeed , i think the people know you want to make it succeed , so do they .
    Please , stop making false dates , i think it pisses so many people off (me included) , its really not providing anything.
    In my opinion a true date , even a one people may not like , would be batter , even if you talled me now : "something exploded in the game , alot of unexpected problems , the game will release in 3 years" , 
    I would still appreciate it more then each month having people waiting in patience and failing them each time.
    I want to remind you man that i still appreciate your work guys and i believe you do your best ,as i always did , i just wanted to express my opinion here.
    Thank you for your time , have a good day.
    this is a latter i wrote to MrXLink , he read it and did not responded.
