Reformatted PC, Steam purchased games still playable?

I couldnt fit the entire name of the topic in the space alloted but i recently reformatted but a while back i purchased S.T.A.L.K.E.R. thru steam so i never had a hard copy of it.

My question is will i stil be able to play even though i reformatted? while im typing this i probably realize that if i log onto steam...look my "my games" list...i may see STALKER and just have to re-download it. but unfortunately i am at work so i cant do that.

anyone have this happen? any help would be appreciated.

ah ok that makes sense. gonna suck to download stalker is huge.

thanks for the info

there is backup option that allows u to store the games on a disc and then restore them of something goes a bit fluffy with ure PC or steam itself. quite a handy thing. itll even divide up the file into smaller ones of its too big for a CD or DVD.

Reformated about a month ago and i was able to download all my steam games again right awaykozzy1234

That is so handy. You can just re-format and leave your comp on for a day or so while you do other things and it will periodicly install all your games for you. Without you having to dig out disks, and spend a a few days patching ect.

But then it's a pain you need to download it, rather than install it in 10 mins. Good and bad I suppose.

Yea usually i put em on a disc, but if i dont then downloading them again isnt that big of a deal to me, as Steam is ually always 500k + for me downloading.
