Ah, right. Did you use Steam's library folder function to install games across different drives? If so, ensure the folder settings are still in place and then just reinstall the games (you'll first want to ensure the drive letters match up). Assuming everything is as it should be, Steam will detect the existing data and not actually download anything.

Yup I did the original installations through steam. By folder settings, do you mean:

This? The original settings are gone, and they only allow me to chose an empty folder.

 

[bronson]

Just finished Brothers. God damn. If you own that and haven't finished it yet, do not do anything else until it's done.

 

[TheSeks]

OMG finally beat the first operation in Surgeon Sim 2013. Using that flappy hand is IMPOSSIBLE at times. Got my hand stuck in the body and had to fuck about for two minutes to get it unstuck to continue with the operation.

And you're telling me I have to replace BOTH kidneys next Op!? Oh boy!?

Move the data out, select the folder, then move it back.

Edit:

STEAM 2013 Announcements & Updates The Eighth: Rise of the Saoirse Clones


^In hindsight this should have been the title of the 7th thread, considering Saoirse Ronan is probably gonna be in the next star war film.

An orange after my own heart.

We jinxed it.

 

[FOX_]

Not sure if it's fixed or not, I'm kind of treating it like a single player game. A lot of people are mad because "ZOMG it's Star Trek, it's not supposed to be Action Packed©".

But that's kind an overarching problem with the whole franchise reboot. Wider audience appeal and all that. While I agree it's not "traditional Trek", it's surprisingly good.

Very likely to hit $5 (or less) during the next big sale. I'd say for that price it's a deal.

What I'd love to see is a fully-fledged TNG game. I've always been more of a TNG guy, with all due respect to the original series. But I suppose the reboot universe takes precedence now...

 

[Dec]

That gif is fantastic. Fallen is highly underrated.

Love that movie so much.

 

[Arsenic]

Move the data out, select the folder, then move it back.

It's working ^.^

It's odd, I tried this method before but was put off when the progress bar popped up showing speeds of 35MB/sec for moving the files. Weird, since it was on the same drive. Anyways, thanks man

Glad you got it sorted.

 

[TheSadRanger]

So been playing Spelunky a ton and man I really love it but sometimes it seems weird shit happens just to kill you cheaply.

I'm trying to do a key run to the tunnel man and have a great start in the mines when I'm on 1-4. I got a cape, plenty of bombs and everything when the shopkeeper flips out for literally no reason at all screwing up my key run. I'm just standing there doing nothing and he flips out.

If it was in the mines, it was probably a blue snake that aggroed him.

Finished Hotline Miami, it stopped working randomly but when I restarted my PC (rare) it just started working again.

Good game. Kind of short but it kind of feels long when you're playing it, non stop fast moving gameplay.

I told him that if he added me to get free games he was sorely mistaken and now he just says "hi" on the odd occasion. I'll block him if he begs again but for now he's not a bother.

 

[DXLelouch153]

i dont know why some people are desperate enough to beg for games anyways
just stalk this thread and post alot in it
probability will eventually be on your side

Also plenty of bundles nowadays where you can get a bunch of games for dirty cheap.

I'll send themed self-nudes to the first person to gift me Black Frag.

Spoiler

Don't rush all at once

Can't help but imagine people begging for games are kids or very young teenagers. Just not something you do.. Ask a friend for a loan sure, but not just begging random people.

[Skab]

Oh man. I just saw that King Arthur's Gold is now out on Steam. That game needs its own thread. I would love to get that going with a bunch of gaffers.

 

[Wok]

I am now waiting for an answer from the Steam support.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Steam keys for Fester Mudd (first Groupees Build a Greenlight bundle) are now up on Groupees. I'm actually surprised this happened at all, given what happened with Leisure Suit Larry in the same bundle.

Yay! More "free" games

 

[wilflare]

not sure if it's just me... but is anyone using the STEAM beta Client having their library come up with SteamApp(Insert numbers here) entries?

Thanks for the heads-up. As for Larry, that was a screw up on the part of Groupees: the game added to the bundle wasn't the Reloaded remake (although if memory serves it was initially advertised as such).

I started playing this myself a few days ago, thanks to a kind fellow GAFfer (Lain). I didn't much like it at first, but I'm starting to get really into it now and appreciate the high-speed, hair-trigger action. It does feel rather buggy though.

It's not just you, there are some more in this thread that has this same problem too.

Somebody accidentally flagged some depots as games:

SteamApp6121 is tied to Shank subs while the rest are in Portal 2 subs. They're data depots and shouldn't be showing up as games.

GFWL is being patched out of Dirt 3 while the rest of Codemasters' games "are being looked at".

 

[Grief.exe]

We talking bout straight headphones? Or a full on Headset?

lol Headset

HDMI to your monitor (HDMI to DVI adapter/cable if your monitor has no HDMI in)

Use the A/V cable that your PS3 came with with an RCA (female) to stereo adapter to either connect to your headphones (female on the stereo adapter) or go into your computer (male stereo adapter) and then out to your headphones. I use an Asus Xonar amp, but it's not necessary.

Thanks I was finding that solution in my research as well.

 

[wetflame]

I would, but for the "no winners in the last month" option. I will try again in 30 days!

We will see. If nobody manages to take it, I might just nuke the key and post it again with fewer restrictions.

So, that means I could buy 3rd and play it later, no one knows when, but no others. Oh well, it's better than nothing.
Thanks

cute suarez

you broke 2k?

xelios watch your back

 

[JaseC]

you broke 2k?

xelios watch your back

I was so excited I couldn't help myself: I bought a bunch of crap yesterday to bump me up to 1,999. I'm still a little bummed that the SGSF didn't get me to 2k despite being listed as a game in the registry, but at least the investment wasn't a total waste since the money goes to Child's Play. Maybe that good karma will see me snag a Steam Machine.

Edit: And thanks again to wetflame for gifting me MirrorMoon EP, which did get me to 2,000.

I wonder if they will allow keys to be redeemed on Steam after that ATI kerfuffle?

lol Headset

Hahahaha your mean. True but mean.

I use a Fiio e11 headphone amp connected to the 3.5mm out of my monitor. Audio passthrough HDMI is fine with both my LG & Dell but obviously is monitor dependant. My DR150's are 32 ohm so would be fine without but are a bit on the quite side otherwise due to being open.
