I bought this game via Steam, and have just installed it. I'm getting the apparently familiar 'UAWEA Launcher error' now. I've googled it, and see a number of people have had this problem. I have tried the links provided on this forum elsewhere, but I get a 'page not found ' error. I also see there are patches available, but I would assume Steam would have installed them automatically?
I tried clicking on the 'view updates' tab in Steam, and it says this game is only available for North America? Could this be why I can't run the game? But then, surely Steam will know my location and in theory should block my attempt at downloading?
Any help would be appreciated.
Found this post on the Petroglyph.com forum. Well, actually, my mate found it!
My thanks to 'no-success', as it has worked for me.

goto your steam folder then steamapps>common>universe at war earth assult>xliveredist
then run the xliveredist program.
For some reason you must install Games for Windows Live (a Steam competitor) to make this work. Why this isn't documented or explained anywhere strikes me as odd."
