This worked fine for me. I’m not getting any of the errors that have been mentioned here, and I’m not running an incredibly high-end system.

I’m having fun on the scoreboards, I’m top of a couple of songs. Not telling you which because you’ll try and dethrone me, Lol.

Also, with regards to the Steam debate that’s going on here,
The only thing that annoys me is that the offline mode just doesn’t work.

1. Steam can’t connect, run in offline mode?
2.
3. Steam can’t connect to the network, sorry.

and if you manage to get past that part,

1.
2. This operation can’t be completed offline!

If they sorted that, I’d be quite happy with steam.

Yea this is great and all, and I installed the pirated version, works great…but how do I install the actual update. I have no idea where to put it, if I should replace files or what…someone explain please.

why would you guys want us to buy the game? so they can get rich, thus, popular and then hate the developers? cause that trend that’s going on about “hating anything mainstream” is getting on my nerves, grow up. furthermore, my .nfo file was broken so i have some files but no idea what to do with them so can somebody tell me how to update?

So let me get this strait, audiosurf will NOT be sold in stores…and if you do get it, can’t you play it without logging on or even having an account, or do you need one to play the full version? Two more questions, making an account doesn’t cost anything, does it? And what information do you have to provide to buy it? it is my first time buying anothing from steam that isn’t a hardcopy.

@54

some of us actually have better than standard internet – I got 11.4gb in 8 hrs yesterday – steam is great, and so long as you aren’t poor you will always have the internet. let’s talk about updates…with steam, you get them automatically…hardcopy, not so much. besides, you can always make a copy of the game dir in the steam dir to disc and viola! physical copy. don’t bash steam till you have NEEDED it and it just worked immediately and you are up and running playing your favorite legally purchased game teh same day you reinstalled/reformatted. dvd’s get scratched quickly if you aren’t careful, and there is nothing worse than getting a cyclic redundancy error from your only hardcopy.

I know this is a good game, and I know indie game developers need supporting (especially those who make good games). But I would NEVER install Steam just to get a legal copy of this. Sure, Steam is not much of a resource hog as others put it out to be; and sure, the way you can just download Steam and re-download the games that you’ve already bought after a reformat is a convenience (to some)…but still, no thanks! I prefer to have a physical copy of the games that I buy. I don’t want to depend on some digital storage that require internet connection. I know CDs and DVDs have a lifespan, where an inevitable “Unable to read” error occurs after [quite] some time…but at least I have the option to back up my CDs (by burning another copy and use that instead) and keep the originals in storage. When the time comes that my originals are no longer usable, at least I have “physical copies” for keeps. Also, about the “fast-speed downloads.” No matter how I look at it, it’s still quite an inconvenience. Why can’t I just get the DVD and install from there? Really, how long do you think it takes to install a 6 Gb game? Forty to sixty minutes, tops? And, how long does it take to download a game that large? Well, that depends on your internet connection, but I’d say the average (for most users) would be 3 days. Sorry, but Steam just doesn’t cut if for me.

@51 Blaenk Denum,

What happens if Valve goes out of business? Sure it might not seem very likely now, but anything can happen. Or what if they get bought by some other company that doesn’t want to support older/smaller games any longer? When you have an actual CD/DVD you can always re-install the game (except when they’ve also crippled it with online activation). You can also install any patches that are needed. As long as you have a system that the game will run on, you are *GUARANTEED* to be able to re-install and play it. Can you make that same guarantee about Steam-crippled games a decade from now?

@24: I would’ve believed you in the early days of Steam, but apparently you haven’t tried it since. It’s really fast and my favorite way of getting games these days, I would only wish more games were available on steam. There’s nothing like not having to look for a DVD or CD and wait for things to install. With Steam, I can reformat, download steam, then download any of the games I’ve bought that are tied to my account at max speed, and they’ll be ready to play once they’re downloaded, no need to install afterwards. The download protocol is similar to that of BitTorrent’s, in fact, Bram Cohen, the creator of BitTorrent, worked on it.

A second update is needed to fix the problems this update made

Or everything is just crushing from the very beginning. Directories are scrambeld, songs are loading but the track is not created or you’re standing still on the start line with the respawning message.
