Just finished off Thomas Was Alone today. I quite enjoyed it, simple and charming little platformer. The only thing I didn't like was when you had so many cubes to switch back and forth from. Like, I could know exactly what I needed to do, but all the switching and time it took could get tedious. I completed it in just over 4 hours, but I imagine some could in 3. Definitely worth giving a try if you got it in a bundle, and it's collecting virtual dust like mine was.

I know you've solved the problem, but it could happen again. I had this too. The short of it is one's saves are not corrupted. If your optimal save isn't loading, you can try other saves or a new game, then loading the optimal. If the game world is already loaded, I'm fairly certain it will not fail on loading a different save of it. There are several internet threads on this, I see today... some of the explanations and tips make sense to me while some don't. I don't know, but in the past I assumed it is a confluence of my weak bootcamped laptop with AMD graphics trying to load everything including custom radio music that is save-stated from HDD.
PixelJunk Shooter 2 has a 2v2 multiplayer that would be very fun between friends and would be a great addition to Steam.
Apparently I own war of the roses kingmaker. must have been in a bundle. Thanks!
It was in a Paradox bundle.

Bit late, but League of Legends is just one example of why this isn't really true.

This is great. I can't wait to hear about that second fog door.

I bought Surgeon Simulator based on this video...can't wait to control a QWOP arm
Word.
I'd go further than that and say it's fucking awful. Shit platforming, shit combat and I didn't find the story or characters that engaging either. But then that's business as usual with Ninja Theory.
Umm so I think Steam gave my Dead Island Dark Tide for free. I downloaded it during the free weekend last week and never got around to deleting it. It is sitting in my library but instead of the button saying "Play" it says "Purchase", makes sense. Now I know Steam has had this glitch for me at least( I think I have heard other people talk about it) where if you wait until after the free weekend is over to delete it, while "deleting all local content" removes it from your library it actually leaves the Files on your hard drive. Have had this happen a couple times in the past Sonic Racing one I can remmber somewhat recently
I decided to try running the .exe and voila, it works! Played a couple minutes and all is good. Anyone else have this or once I restart steam will it do a check and now delete the game files?

Free Weekend content needs to be manually deleted. Many people actually hate that it isn't automatically uninstalled.

Having issues with the new update?
I'm on my first play through of Dark Souls also, and pretty much at the same point you're at. Except I did one thing very differently...it'll be interesting to see your experience going forward lol
Yep. Disabling the steam overlay got the game to actually load after the intro. Then I could play until I got to the next loading screen.... and now it keeps crashing there when I try to reload the save. Looking at the community forum, I'm not the only one.

Try setting it directx 9 by typing -dx9 in the launch options.

Guess I'll have to wait a while to play it.
That lets me load the savegame. Let's see how far I get before I get dropped to desktop again.
It's slightly less pretty though.

Is there proof that they used PCs? Specific statements? Because Duncan Harris of Dead End Thrills actually took his screens with a 360 devkit which allowed for tiledshots IIRC. It's pretty likely they took press screens the same way.
Who knows though, maybe those 4k Killzone Shadowfall screens have always been a secret hint at a PC version.

Yeah it sucks, but it's the only way I can play the game.
Yeah I know that it has to be manually deleted but Can I now play indefinitely it until I do?
I've never installed a Free Weekend game so I'm not entirely sure. Have you tested to see if the loophole still works after restarting the client?
Yep, just restarted steam and the game still works. Very weird.
Haha, nice. In that case I see no reason why it wouldn't continue to work, though I assume the trick is something Valve could easily break by having Steam check whether or not the game is actually tied to your account.
The simplest way of seeing if the game is actually tied to your account is to visit the store page for the game and checking if you have the green bar with the play button there. Also try checking your account in case you actually did buy this game before or redeemed it from somewhere and forgot about it. It'll be listed somewhere under your purchases if that is the case.
He mentioned in an earlier post that the library listing has a "Purchase" button rather than a "Play" button.
Yep, and I had also checked and it does not appear under my licenses and subscription either. Checked the store page and it still has the buy option, no play game option. Super weird! Like I said, I have had this happen multiple times with free weekends files sticking around but never tried playing the games.
I'd say the game doesn't actually use Steam DRM, but that would be silly.

Oh shit,
I was really close to watching the whole thing on youtube the other day. Glad I didn't.
Namco doesn't like releasing games that run at widescreen resolutions.
I bought Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition a while back and just started playing it recently. Has anyone else who owns this game had a problem with really slow motion gameplay? My PC is more than powerful enough to run this game yet the gameplay is so slow. I've been trying to look for solutions online but couldn't find any

Well, you are running two copies of the game at once, so that might be the problem
Wait what? What do you mean by that?
This explains my joke, honestly though, I have no idea what the issue is. I heard it's not a good port anyways
Yea I figured it was a pretty subpar port. That link you posted just further indicates that. I'm a little disappointed because I really wanted to play this game. Maybe if I tough it out it might actually get a bit better as the game progresses.
It might. I heard it's actually a pretty fun game and what not
Eh. It's not bad, but it has one of the most annoying and "fuck you player" QTE ever.
(Well, it's not exactly a QTE I guess, but
fuck that star destroyer pulldown
I literally couldn't get by this part.

I couldn't believe when I actually did it on my first try on a recent replay of 1/2.

Auto-resolving battles?

I fought most of my battles manually, unless it's with 95+% survival.
Enemy Unknown is still amazing. I just wish I could use the "controller" grid-by-grid movement since I'm so used to that instead of the keyboard and mouse. D: It's hard to know my movement now and then given the mouse and the grid sometimes screwing up my views but I'm slowly adjusting. I don't like the mouse to skillbar though. That and the numbers on the keyboard. Having to press Escape to back out of a choice is kinda shitty as well.
But still: AMAZING.
But still: AMAZING.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Yeah no, I won't be getting FFVII by that price.
