The main problem was the lack of AA, but that was fixed through driver updates.

so that means it now has AA with forcing it through the catalyst center?

EDIT: Wrong thread

I wish Steam would advertise that BTTF is now on Steam. However, anyone who would want to know probably already knows.

 

[AstroLad]

At the end of of the dungeon it just shows you everything you collected in the dungeon, more importantly it also identifies all the unidentified items you picked up. That confused me at first too, the only time you have to pick something is if you die in the dungeon.

Ah makes sense, thanks. I also need to figure out the little bonuses you sometimes get from selling stuff.

Finally got Beat Hazard and Bit Trip using that indie pack sale.

This outright confuses me though:

I heard that it was fixed after 10.10. I can't verify it until I download my copy though.

I should've rephrased myself.

Even if you did know what the Sixense was, it still isn't any less of a caricature of an achievement.

Yeah that's kinda bullshit.

Can wait for more devs to jump on that bandwagon; "Beat a level using an Nvidia video card" or "Score 100,000 points on an Alienware laptop".

It's already been done. Rainbow Six: Vegas has an achievement for using the Xbox Live Vision Camera. Few other games do it too.

Can I bother someone to take a look at the size of HL2 and HL2 Ep1 in steam? I have a fairly limited free space on my laptop and I hate how Steam doesn't let you know how big the download is unless you pay for the game.

5.2GB for HL2. 6.1 for Episode 1.

 

[Nabs]

I think I'll double dip on Darksiders at that price. I haven't heard great things about the PC port, though.

I might check out Patrician IV, too. I hope it's not overly complicated/user unfriendly.

The port is a lot better than people were making it out to be. I haven't had a problem with the lack of AA either, and I usually do. I haven't tried to force it through CCC yet, and I'm not sure I'll bother just yet.

Forgot about all about that. Never a good thing when your product page is showing hype videos from 2009.

It's stupid, but what's wrong with that? It's just an achievement.

I just assume all other versions had some sort of motion controller achievement and instead of getting rid of it they picked a PC motion controller. Which no one has. Which makes it pretty bs.

Nope. Neither the Wii or the iOS version have any achievements at all meaning that thing was clearly added there.

What makes it even more hilarious is that the thing hasn't even been released. :lol

You forgot to add the part where it's most likely vaporware at this point. It's highly likely it'll never be achieved by anyone.

Sims 3: Complete and Neverwinter Nights 2: Platinum added to registry.

I want to gift my stepbrother Civ IV on steam, is there anyway to do this without him getting an email right now?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Yup. Send it to your own email. When you want to send it to him, go into your 'Manage gifts and guest passes' and then resend it to him.

When you checkout, tell it you want to send the game to an email address, and then put in your own email address. Later you can go to "Manage Gifts and Guest Passes" and then resend the game to your stepbrother.

 

[ZZMitch]

Ok, cool.

Thanks guys!

edit- could I just forward him the email that was sent to me?

 

[Parham]

Ok, cool.

Thanks guys!

Yes.

 

[charlequin]

That also works.

5.2GB for HL2. 6.1 for Episode 1.

I think they have a lot of common files though, so it'd be less than 11.3 gig for both.

 

[platypotamus]

Wish I had thought of that email trick a couple weeks back. Could have saved a couple bucks on my mom's Christmas gift.

 

[Danj]

Not sure if this is the Steam official thread but figured it's worth asking here anyway.

My mum is going to buy me something in the Steam sale, but since the last time she used her Steam account was last Christmas, she's forgotten her password, and the answer to the secret question doesn't seem to be working. How likely is it that Steam will respond to a support ticket so we can get it sorted out, before the end of the sale? Are they usually slow or quick to respond to support tickets?

I don't even bother to write down my steam passwords and I have forgotten my password more then dozen times and same goes for secret question and every time good people at steam support has reseted my password. I have always gotten new password with in 24h.

 

[IrishNinja]

hey, prolly should've asked here first - if your windows/program files partition doesn't have enough room for some of the bigger games you bought on steam, how can it be setup to work off another drive for certain titles, or is there a better way of doing this?

Start off on the last page of the steam sale and work your way back. It's on one of the last few pages.

Maybe it's time to start writing down your steam password...

Or just email it to yourself, that way you can easily find it again.

guys guys guys is there a Blood Bowl GAF League going on? Please say yes!

1. You have a freaking AWESOME mom.

2. Valve takes a bit to respond to tickets, especially on weekends. You'll most likely hear back by Tuesday.

 

[graywolf323]

hoping Steam gets the Dragon Age™ 2: Bioware Signature Edition soon

January 11th is just over two weeks away :-(

 

[UrbanRats]

Do we know if Test Drive Unlimited 2 will be Steamworks?

 

[Joe Molotov]

They haven't said one way or the other.

 

[Daigoro]

guys guys guys is there a Blood Bowl GAF League going on? Please say yes!

no but we should make one if enough people have the game.

i dont have the legendary edition yet though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Might as well ask here.

If I defrag via Windows, does that mean I don't have to defrag via Steam?

 

[deleted]

I think I have a problem...

I can't buy anything via paypal or my credit card right now and Commandos 2 is missing. I didn't want to play it, buy I saw it in the wrong category during the holidays, so I changed it. Now its completly gone. Its one of those games I cannot buy in my region (germany), so I don't know if contacting Steam-Support about it would change anything.

So as someone who often likes to use a controller, I have been really annoyed when windows calls 360 controller buttons something other than their actual name (really, Microsoft? With your own controller?) so I went and found this information and figured it might also be useful to some of you making custom configurations for the 360 controller.

Steam support have responded today. They've reset the password and my mum is back in the system. Seems she can't add me as a friend unless she has a non-free paid game in her own account though, which kind of sucks, but she's been able to gift me the Square Enix complete pack using the email option. Awesome.

That's weird. It could work as a method to keep people from gifting a game then canceling the order just to lock people out of their steam accounts, but as you said she was still able to gift you a game. Just tell her to buy Bejeweled or Peggle.

Do they have any brain training type games? She said she'd be interested in one of those.

 

[platypotamus]

She may like this, though it's not officially brain training:

Yep, both expansions are in the download. Don't try to uninstall an expansion either, it'll take the base game and the other expansion with it :lol

Thanks for the warning. I just wanted to see it run on my new rig. Last time I played it was back in 2005 and it ate a lot of system resources.

All these sales are nice and so on but:

An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed.
Please contact Steam Support.

For 2 days now, I just can't buy shit. And the steam servers are slow as @#!& atm.
Come on it can't be that hard to upgrade server capacitys for the holiday sales.
