Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter question

Closed

Hi, everybody! I just won this awesome game, and something weird happened... when I did enter the key in Steam, I also received The Second Encounter. When I enter the store page of the First Encounter, Steam says I have it, but when I enter the page for Second Encounter, no indication that I own the game. Also, I did sync my account with SG and it only says that I have The First Encounter.

Is this normal? Is this a bug and Second Encounter will be taken from my account, or there is something I'm missing and I was supposed to receive it?

Does it load SS1 or SS2 when you start it? Sounds odd

I still haven't installed it (I'm working now and the PC I have here is very basic). But in my game library, in my Steam account, I have both and if I put Second Encounter to download it does indeed download it... it really sound odd, specially because the key I entered clearly said it was HD First Encounter.

besides i guess you got the demo or something, since normally unless indicated otherwise it wouldnt give you other games too
The second error is fairly common with games registered by cd keys, for example I was unable to enter giveaways in the past for Red Faction Path to War since it was saying that i dont own the game (even though I did but it was registered by a cd key)

I had an error in my OP, I meant to say that I've also received Second Encounter with the Key for First Encounter.

Well, it doesn't say it's a DEMO in my game library, but you may be right about it. I will download the game as soon as possible to see if it is a DEMO.

As it is now, it seems as the key I did enter was for the HD Double Pack, but Steam clearly shown that the key I received was for First Encounter.

Check DLCs of Second Encounter in your library. Seems like you have Fusion DLC which merge these Encounters into one single game. Probably it's because of this key coming from old Humble Bundle, that's normal

Yes sir! I have the Fusion DLC. So then I basically received something similar to the Double Pack!

Thanks a lot, OptoNick! I appreciate the help!

EDIT: Thanks to MilleW and Vassay, I now know it's a DEMO version :P. Well, that pretty much explains everything, it's a glitch in the way Steam treats DLC.
