How did I not know this...
Not sure if it's general knowledge but I recently found out Windows 10 has a kind of emulation available for games that do not work with it.
I tried to play The Banner Saga recently and was having trouble. Found the .exe file of the game, and on the properties selected something like "Launch on Windows 7 mode" and it worked wonders.
So maybe that's also going to work with that game.
Shame I found that out after refunding Nidhogg bought for $1 :/ Game hasnt been not even close to that cheap ever since.

Yeah, after searching the web a bit it seems like replacing some DLLs and changing to WinXP compatibility mode should fix the issues. I guess I'll give it a try.
I got frustrated trying to get it to work because I wanted to use a 360/ps4 pad lol. But the game itself, ran iirc. Might've been X-Wing, or one of the other SW games.

Is there any way to check if games anyone has actually wanted a game here or not before? There's a game i'm thinking about giving away but i'm not sure if it's something anyone would want, it's out of the park baseball 2013 or something.

A recent Steam review for X-Wing says "The new patch fixed the windows 10 issue. I was able to use my Xbox 360 controller for the controls with no issue." I don't know if this also applies to TIE Fighter though.

You could probably ask in this thread and gauge the response. You could also do the giveaway anyways. I'm sure someone will want the game.

I'll probably just give it away anyway at some point. It's something i know for sure i'll never play and neither will anyone i know.
Isn't that some baseball team management game? Seems very niche.

Yeah that's what i thought, i think i've seen it in some giveaways here before and no one wanted it.

Amazing giveaway, wish I could enter.
Oh shit, really eh. Hmm, I think it was X-Wing that I've been trying to play. GOG version btw, and this is within the last year.
I'll check it out again.

Don't think my entries worked by the looks of it, I definitely entered for Laura Croft and seeing the edit it doesn't look as if anybody entered for it! Ah well shame, well done on those who got the games they wanted anyway.
Edit: Oh the post just hadn't finished being edited. Maybe I was just unlucky then!

Really sorry about the used codes guys. I had a big list of games I knew weren't redeemed, but there were a few on the Humble page I added because they looked like they also were un-redeemed. I may have already given those out previously.
What I might do in the future is not use the "gift link" as that seems to reset whether you've claimed a game or not, but grabbing the steam code doesn't reset.
Again, sorry.

I think you did something wrong when you set this up because no one has been able to claim it yet, die you link it to this thread?
Linking to this thread shouldn't be necessary. Chances are the keys were successfully taken and Modbot forgot to edit the post or otherwise couldn't find the post as a result of him not copying the entire quote from the PM.
ah, nvm then. I should probably refresh myself on modbot.
I've yet to link the thread to any giveaways and modbot always updates them. I don't even know how to "link" a thread...

Got receipts that there were two winners, so apparently it worked! The links for the store page were all messed up so I didn't include them, not sure if that's why it didn't update or not. Either way manually made it explicit.
