Creating a DLGamer account and placing an order

Walking you through the creation of a new account and the purchase of a game

How do I create an account ?

2/ In the next window, below New User, click the SIGN UP button.

3/ Fill out the form and click on VALIDATE.

You can now visit your account page anytime you want or check your purchase history and ongoing orders.

How do I place an order?

Ordering a game is super easy! Select the game you wish to buy and click on the BUY NOW button to add the selected item to your cart.

In your cart, you can choose the quantity you'd like to buy or simply remove the item by clicking the recycle bin button. If you have a voucher code you wish to use, enter the code into the dedicated box and APPLY.

To order another item, click on CONTINUE SHOPPING. If you want to proceed to the checkout, select a payment method and click the CONFIRM YOUR ORDER button. Once you have checked your items, simply confirm by clicking on CHECKOUT.

You will then be redirected to a secure payment page which will vary depending on the payment method of your choice.

How will I receive my game?

Once you have proceeded with your purchase and it has been validated, you will receive an order confirmation email from us.

To get your game, all you have to do is to go to your account page and click on the MY PRODUCTS tab where you will find your key.

Will a game bought at the end of the pre-order period still be considered as pre-order?

When a purchase is validated before a game is officially released, it will be considered as pre-order. If payment is validated on the day of release, the purchase will be considered standard.

In such cases, we cannot guarantee that you will obtain the pre-order bonuses as it will always depends on the publisher's policy.

Installation and activation

Help on the different steps you will have to go through before being able to play.

Is it possible to install a game I own on a new computer?

Of course, you can install a game on several computers as long as they are your own.

Is it possible to transfer a game on another DLGamer account?

Unfortunately, this is impossible at the moment.

How long does it take to have my game delivered after validating an order?

Most of the time, all the orders we receive are treated within 5 minutes after the purchase.

It might be a tad longer on certain occasions, if it's your first order on DLGamer for example. What's important is that it will never be more than 30 minutes.

Do I have to be connected to the Internet to play?

It obviously depends on the game. An Internet connection is required for all the game which have an online component, like MMOs for instance.

You will find all the necessary information on each game's page.

Is it possible to activate all the games I have bought on DLGamer via Steam or Origin?

No. Again, you will find all the information you need regarding this on the game's page.

If Steam or Origin are not mentioned, you will need to install your game using your DLGamer account where you will find a direct link.

When I buy an online game on DLGamer, can I play with those who purchased it on Steam or Origin?

Of course you can. Multiplayer works with dedicated servers which have nothing to do with the digital retailer where you bought the game.

Moreover, because all our games are sold perfectly legally, you will never have to worry about a potential banishment due to an illegal copy or an illegitimate one.

A friend of mine owns the same game I bought on DLGamer, can I install his game on my PC without having to download it on the website?

Yes, it is indeed possible to do so provided it is really the exact same version of the game.

For example, a non-Steam game will not be compatible with a Steam install.

What is a DRM?

The Digital Rights Management is actually some access control technology publishers resort to in order to curb the problem of piracy.

Activation keys which are required to play games are a perfect example.

What does DRM free mean? How come some games do not have any activation key?

When a publisher decides not to use any DRM, there are no activation keys of any kind.

In such cases, all you have to do is download the game and install it directly to be able to play.

Are DRM free games necessarily pirated versions?

Not at all. The goal of a DRM is only to fight against piracy but some publishers simply refuse to complicate the lives of honest customers.

Note that only digital platforms like DLGamer can sell DRM free games.

After preordering a game, it doesn't appear in my account. Is it normal?

Most preorder keys are reserved to the publisher and they are only made available when the game is released.

In some rare cases, keys can be available before launch, allowing you to preload the game. These are exceptions however.

How can I make sure a game will run correctly on my rig?

The system requirements are all indicated on each game's page. All you have to do is to compare them with your own system.

What's more, do not forget that some websites sometimes propose playable demos, which is evidently the best way to make sure your PC can handle the game you are interested in.

What should I do in case I lose the order confirmation email?

No need to panic, you only have to log in to your account and there you will access your order history including the list of all your activation keys and download links.

Downloading a game

Questions regarding the download of games on DLGamer.

Can I download my games an unlimited number of times?

Theoretically yes, you are absolutely free to download the install file of a game as many times as you want.

That being said, the multiple downloads on several computers with different IP addresses in short lapse of time will be considered fraudulent.

In case of abuse, your account will be temporarily blocked and you will receive an email from us immediately.

Is it necessary to use a download assistant to get my games?

You are perfectly free to do so but you don't have to.

Most games are to be downloaded via another digital platform (Steam, Origin, Uplay etc.).

The games which are not available though those are directly downloadable with the links we provide.

Why can't all games be downloaded the same way?

It depends on what the publisher's choice really.

For now, two methods are available. It either can be done with an executable file or a direct download link.

The executable file is a light computer program you have to download in order to get your game.

As for the direct link, it allows you to start downloading all the files you are interested in via the download manager in your account.

The versions distributed by platforms such as Steam, Origin or Uplay must be downloaded by using the proper client.

Is it possible to pause the download and resume it later?

When you are downloading a game via a direct link, you can use the pause button of the download manager to pause it.

If you are using the executable file, there is no visible pause button you can use, but should you quit the app, you will get a message telling you it will be possible to resume your download the next time you launch it.

Once resumed, all you have to do is to accept the given choice to resume your download.

The exe file is downloading the game but I don't know where.

Every time you launch such a file, you will be asked where you want to save the content you want.

The destination folder is also visible when you quit the executable file.

If you have not changed the default folder, it should be a series of digits, like for example “C:264852”.

The executable file keeps crashing. What should I do?

It is advised to disable all your anti-virus programs and firewalls before staring to download a game and leave them turned off until it is completely finished.

Don't forget to reactivate them once your download is complete.

Why does the size of a game vary between DLGamer or other platforms sometimes?

Quite simply because the size of the whole file is just an estimate which may take into account the virtual memory required to finish the install.

The game remains exactly the same.

Why is the download speed so low?

It depends on several things, like the speed of your Internet access which may vary depending on the time of day.

It might also be a good idea to shut down all types of programs running on your PC, as they could be interfering with your download (Windows Update, torrent etc.).
