How to Download and Install Far Far West on PC
If you are struggling to get Far Far West up and running, you are likely hitting a snag with the Steam checkout process or the installation directory setup. It is frustrating to have the game purchased but not actually playable, so let's get your files verified and the installation moving.
Why this happens
The game requires the Steam client to manage your license and handle the decryption of game files. If the download is stalling, it is usually because your chosen drive lacks sufficient space or your Steam client version needs a quick refresh.
What you'll need
Make sure you have the Steam client installed from the official store and enough free disk space on your chosen drive to accommodate the game files.
Steps
-
01Navigate to the official Far Far West store page in your web browser and click the 'Add to Cart' button to begin the purchase process.
-
02Log in to your Steam account or create a new one if prompted during the checkout flow to ensure the game is registered to your profile.
-
03Open the Steam client on your computer and navigate to your 'Library' tab.
-
04Type 'Far Far West' into the search bar on the left sidebar to locate your game listing.
-
05Click the blue 'Install' button, then select the drive where you want the files to live, ensuring you have enough storage space available.
-
06Wait for the download progress bar to finish; once the button changes from 'Install' to 'Play', click it to begin the first-time setup and launch the game.
Still not working?
If the download remains stuck at zero, go to your 'Library', right-click 'Far Far West', and select 'Properties'. Under the 'Installed Files' tab, click 'Verify integrity of game files' to check for any corrupted data from a failed download. If it still fails, restart your Steam client entirely to clear out any hung background processes.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my game progress if I uninstall Far Far West?
No, Steam uses cloud saves for most titles, meaning your progress is tied to your account and will sync automatically when you reinstall.
Can I move the game to a different drive later?
Yes, you can right-click the game in your library, go to 'Properties', then 'Installed Files', and use the 'Move install folder' option to relocate it without re-downloading.
