I have Vsync and triple buffering on in RadeonPro and my CCC, and there's STILL gobs of screen tearing. =/
STEAM COPS dude, gotta hide
It probably looks more suspicious signing in and then going offline than it does signing in and staying online.
So is the consensus that we can stay online? I wanna be able to play tf2 as well...It probably looks more suspicious signing in and then going offline than it does signing in and staying online.
Working fine here with the newest radeonpro version that has FXAA built in. FXAA, 16xAF, Vsync and Triple buffering works for me.
Make sure you are forcing vsync from the tweaks tab on radeonpro, not the visual tab.
Here's my setting:
You can get the latest radeonpro beta here.
Didn't know steam time tracking + cheevos is disabled in offline mode.
Having said that, the release date seems to have disappeared from the store for me!
Btw I used the VPN trick for Dead Island when it came out. After unlocking it I went offline. Anyway two days later I logged into steam without a VPN (accident) and all it did was lock the game back to it being 'pre-loaded'.

Just do it and stay online, what is Steam gonna do to you, ban you so you can't give them more money?
'Mr Newell, we've detected that Salsashark, 1 out of 4,900,200 active members, have logged in from the Americas! Should we notify Interpol?'
When it comes to being discrete, you've got nothing to gain by signing in via a VPN and then going offline -- the IP you've used to access your account has already been logged by that point.
Have you tried to use it out of the dungeons? I was watching a stream earlier and the guy had the same problem for a moment but then he left the dungeon area and he could do it again.
Well, it helps against people on your steam friends noticing you're playing a unreleased game and then reporting you for it.
what kind of friends do you have
Even assuming somebody would have such a person on their Friends list, by the time Steam Support looks at the message, the game would be out worldwide.
It has not worked at all, in or out of dungeons.
This game gets my CPU and my GPU both hotter than I've ever seen them before. I adjusted my fan curve for my GPU so it goes to 75% a little sooner; hope that helps.
I just finished the first dungeon. It was pretty fun, although I was really surprised when it was over, since I didn't feel like I had fought a boss or anything. Then I thought back and realized that yes, I did. Weird that it didn't really leave an impression on me. Wonderful game so far, though.

I managed to get the overworld to show by pressing one of the analog sticks.
I had just finished the second dungeon and REALLY didn't want to walk all the way to the overworld first before I fast traveled so I just started pressing buttons.
^^Haha, beaten by seconds.

Press left stick to change the maps, I had to press every button to figure it out.
Got up to the first dungeon, I assume you can't go through the first two you come across, and I am loving it. The overworld is so much better than the first and I love the style of the overworld map.

I felt the exact same way about the first dungeon, it felt like a mini boss more than anything.
The fact that they didn't seem to have kept the classic Zelda formula of getting an item in the dungeon and then using that item to defeat the boss probably is part of the reason why it felt that way.
Still, this game is absolutely amazing so far! Loved fighting Thane on Apocalyptic with the starter scythes and hammer, took me an hour but I did it!
Badass combat system, Dat Bayonetta triple dodge flip!!!!!
I've turned my VPN off, restarted and the game is still unlocked. It appears they've changed the way the game unlocks.

Great game so far but man those graphic options (lack there of) and the fact that the game just starts without you even being able to set your resolution...
Max payne 3 started like that too :/ although that game had hell of a lot of graphic options.

Do you have to have a THQ account and link it to the game or can you play entirely without it?
Aww yeah, time to vpn this thing now.
Ha, that's funky. That's going to come in very hand, thanks guys.
You have to reach a certain part of the game to get them. Don't worry all the promo/preorder items seem to require level 5, and you'll reach the part where you can redeem your items way before reaching level 5.
Yeah I just reached the place where you get it in some sort of mailbox, haha. I spoke a bit too soon
Did you keep on trying to fight that guy before the mailbox thinking "If I just had my preorder weapons, I bet this would be much easier!"Yeah I just reached the place where you get it in some sort of mailbox, haha. I spoke a bit too soon
Cause that sure went through my mind a couple of times.
Same question as the one in the Sleeping Dogs thread: For those who have the different versions, what's the consensus on the best version to get? I'm pretty open about it -- I have the PS3 version of Darksiders, but I hear the console versions of DSII has some problems in running the game.

Ugh, 12 hours of work stand between DS2 and me.
It sounds as if you don't need to stay offline. Just flip on your VPN, connect to Steam, activate it, disconnect from your VPN, connect to Steam again and all should be well.
Yep, did the same for sleeping dogs. Disconnected from my VPN to download the textures (seriously wtf is with this) at full speed.
I was really surprised by that. I was walking down the field, and I was like "oh, I wonder what this place is." and then a little way in I found a dungeon map and I was like what

There is 0 (zero) evidence that Valve cares. I can't remember one single person who was banned for using VPN to activate a game early.
some of us have shit connections and having to DL 5 GBs to play the game instead of 15 GBs is nice
