My relatives came to visit from abroad and bought me E:TW as a present. But, apparently, Steam has a problem with it. Is there anything to be done? I understand it might be fooled by using a proxy, but I've never done this before, what's the procedure? Any other way? What a bummer.

I guess you can do things manually. I mean, install Razor release + razor update 1 + damador's patch 6, then you can put the cdkey manually in the registry. And then you can launch the game with cracked steam. Should work. But if you don't properly activate the game and "tie" it to your steam account then you can't use steam or CF Toolbox to update it easily ... not a very good solution I guess (for multiplayer)

You need to find a good, reliable proxy, preferably from the country your relatives are.

Yet, same shit kept me from buying DoW2 - the fear of getting this region-specific shit (it is not sold in IL).

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll give it a try. In case I'll decide to forgo multiplayer and steam updates, is there at least a way to install it instead of downloading razor's release again? i7 6700k @ 4.4 GHZ, 2060s, 16 GB RAM, SSD, Windows 10x64.

Yes there is. You should check the first pages of the ETW thread, there were posts that explained how exactly to extract the contents of the install files into a folder.

If you want to install through steam, you need to tie the game to your account by activating it.
