Questions about this item

Will the Steam DRM for model 37049 ever need re-activation after a Windows reinstall?

Steam handles DRM automatically; logging into the same account on the reinstalled PC restores the licence without a new code.

Which minimum spec hits the wall first during a long campaign turn?

The 2 GB RAM minimum fills quickly with large galaxies, causing swap slowdowns before the Dual Core 2.0 GHz CPU or 256 MB graphics become bottlenecks.

Does the download version run hotter or louder than a disc install after hours of play?

No disc drive spins, so the PC only produces the heat and fan noise from the CPU and GPU loading the 1150 MB game data.
