How do I put northern strike onto cd/dvd so that I have a hard copy rather than just having it on my hardrive. By the way I am a bit of a noob so try and explain it in simple terms please.

You don't.  It's that simple.  Even if something does happen to your computer, the purchase is connected to your EA Link account, so you will be able to re-download it of you need to.

Yeh but im funny about that sort of stuff. I would feel so much better if iI had the hard copy so that I could just shove it into the computer when I need to.

Well, you can actually back it up.

First go into C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Link\cache

There you will find a folder with random letters and numbers, inside that folder is everything you downloaded via EA Link. Back up what you want, and when you want to use it again, say you need to format your computer, just install EA Link and replace the files that you backed up.

It's best just to backup the whole cache file though.

There you go, knew there was a folder for it, couldnt remember the name, and couldnt find it, since I didnt have NS downloaded
