I found a way to show all of your games in grid view regardless if installed or uninstalled without having the extra "games" like master levels for doom,CS beta,etc. Just add every game you want to show as your favorites and then set it to favorites.

I don't understand why EA put the config in a locked folder. Nobody puts configs in there. Maybe that's why it doesn't read anything from it?

I had a weird problem with Dead Space 2 when I got it off of Steam. I started playing it and none of the video or audio logs would play when I picked them up. There was also dialog that was happening during the game that wasn't playing either.

When I checked the file integrity on Steam it downloaded another 2GB it had missed that included everything else. So for the first hour of the game I got almost none of the story stuff outside of the in-game cutscenes.

Unfortunately that's not an option. Got in on Origin with the BF 3 deal.

EDIT: Guess I'm going to have to boot up XP and redownload it on that. Be nice if there was a backup option so I could just quickly do it from the second hard drive. Something Steam has had for, I don't know, FOR-EVER?! God Origin sucks.

Did you download their client? You get it from there I believe. That is what I had to do for Magicka.

Same deal here, I ordered DNF and have not received any email. I already had the Impulse client installed and the game has not been added to my account there either.

Ok DNF finally showed up in the Impulse client, took ~2 hours from the time of ordering for the game to show up. Once it shows up there you can just click the "Show Serial" button and get your steam key.

was around 40mins after my order went through.


sheesh ...what do they have? just 1 guy sitting there processing each order?

at least i got the game on Steam there now ...good or bad, i'll find out soon enough. $10 is hard to go wrong there.

By the way, can I get banned from Steam if I'm using cracked files? Or should I launch outside of Steam?

I'm not pirating anything, I just have the cracked files from before when trying to get the game working.
Click to expand...

With cracked EXEs the recommended approach is to name them differently so that Steam doesn't get upset when verifying game files, but that does mean you need to run them with a shortcut.

All you guys complaining about impulse, I've got another hour of downloading before I can see if my Origin copy of Dead Space 2 works on XP. Quit you're crying, huh;) I'm this close to making a rant of a thread about how shitty Origin is.

Steam learned how to make even more money. By creating another big sale between the summer sale and winter sale.
Click to expand...

They already had that last year. Maybe it's the sale before the sale, before the sale, before the sale, before the big sale.

WTF! Out of desperation I just found a config file on google that I copied and pasted:

Audio.AltNameColor = false
Audio.MusicVol = 1.00000000
Audio_Output = 0
Audio.SFXVol = 0.98000002
Audio.Subtitles = true
Audio.VoiceVol = 1.00000000
Control.AimAssistEnabled = true
Control.AimingPosition = 1
Control.ControllerSensitivity = 2
Control.FireButtonControls = true
Control.InvertX = false
Control.InvertY = false
Control.MouseSensitivity = 0.50000000
Control.Shock = true
Controls.AcL.X = 0×01040360
Controls.AcL.Y = 0×00030008
Game.PDiff = -1
Game.Played = 0
Misc.LastSaveSlot = 2
QualityOptions.ActorMotionBlur = true
QualityOptions.Bloom = true
QualityOptions.Blur = true
QualityOptions.ConfigType = 1
QualityOptions.Decals = true
QualityOptions.Distortion = true
QualityOptions.DoF = true
QualityOptions.EdgeAA = true
QualityOptions.Flare = true
QualityOptions.Glow = true
QualityOptions.HighLightQuality = true
QualityOptions.ManipColor = true
QualityOptions.ShaderQuality = 2
QualityOptions.Shadows = 2
Window.Fullscreen = true
Window.Gamma = 0.50000000
Window.Height = 900
Window.Hz = 60
Window.Left = 0
Window.MessageNotification = 1
Window.State = 0
Window.Top = 0
Window.VSync = true
Window.Width = 1440

That allowed me to load in windowed 1080P and switch to full screen 1080P without crashing. Not sure how that makes any sense, but okay. Whatever works.

Steam-gaf how do I get my mic to work? I have it set as my default audio device in the control panel. The headset itself is working fine, I just can't get the microphone to work. I went onto Steam's voice setting and set the mic/receive volume to max and checked the "automatically transmit my voice whenever I speak" option. When I click the "test microphone" button nothing happens. If it helps, this is my headset. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-PlayStation-Headset-Powered-3/dp/B004GCRJRK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1316489555&sr=8-2

In the recording tab in the control panel under microphone I have the Asus Xonar DG Audio (my sound card) Device as my default device. There's also one labeled "Wave" under my sound card that is ready to use.
