I swear someone in this thread just suggested a screenshot feature.Zombie James said:

You can do that for your individual collection. Plus that would only work if everyone 'published' their favorite shots and set their profiles to public.
A better next step would be to allow us to select the compression/file size level of the jpegs.

or you can just watch the cutscenes on youtube and be done with it.
Blizzard said:
I wish the client would implement game specific bookmarks, with resumable tabs/pages. not having to navigate to the FAQ for every game I use one in would be a godsend. Do you hear me, Valve? it would be a GODSEND. And I really can't see it being something that would increase the footprint of the overlay all that much, I have no clue though.

The next step would be video capture.Forkball said:
Does anyone know if the screenshot feature works with non-Steam games that have been manually added to the Steam launcher? Like if I add Minecraft to the Steam launcher will the screenshots work?
Edit:
Also those who have been bad-mouthing Red Alert 3 it is not bad at all. Single player campaigns are awesome.

Not just capture, livestreams. Imagine this, see somebody playing a solo game? Jump in on a feed of said session, giving the origin user the option to deny requests, of course. Voice/txt chat would be handled within the client.
I've was having a conversation a while back over what these platform services--Steam. XBL. PSN--could implement down the line feature-wise. I say this here because Steam, atm, seems to be the most progressive of the three.
Edit: People were taking Minecraft shots while the client was in beta, I would think the functionality is still there.
It does. It even keeps the name of it too (Though I expect eventually the name to be chagned to "Non-Steam Game", like the New Super Mario Bros shot)

Shaneus said:Ah, so no downloading the full game through GFWL once you provide a key? Bugger.
Thanks
Not unless you purchased it through their store, then you can download it as much as you want.
If you just have a legitimate key, you could probably download it through other means and then activate it.

Nice, I sometimes had crashes when I launched certain games from steam, mainly non-steam games while RadeonPro was running. That seems to have been fixed.

Drkirby said:
wait how are you playing Suikoden III via Steam?
Though a PS2 emulator, PCSX2. Like I said, for some non-games, steam keeps the name. You can also rename the shortcut in steam of non-steam games to make them say what you want, so I changed the name of the PCSX2 shortcut to "Sukioden III" while playing it.graywolf323 said:
PS2 games are also super easy to play, you just pop them in the DVD drive and go. You can also just make them into ISOs, which speeds them up. Game needed a decent amount of Speedhacks to get running at 60 FPS, since there is something bottle necking performance. Just use the newer revisions, slide the preset speedhack to 6, disable preset, up VC Cycle stealing to 3, and change VU Clamping to Normal. Animation is a bit janky, but I am not sure if that is due to the game being old, the speedhacks, the higher resolution, or just the emulator.
I have some credit with them, so I guess this is a good time to use it.

okay now I just gotta figure out how to make my DualShock 3 work on my PC and I will definitely be doing thatDrkirby said:

Pardon my ignorance if this was discussed recently, but why is there a Dungeon Siege 3 banner that says "Pre-purchase now" that also has logos for Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 on it (I assume as a pre-order incentive?), but you can't actually pre-purchase yet? I'd bite for a good deal on the first two games (I loved the second one but for some reason I only have the disk for the first game), and DS3 was pretty much a guarantee for me anyway since it's an Obsidian game.

I'm having trouble connecting my 360 controller to my PC?
It's a wireless controller and I have it connected with a Play and Charge Kit. I don't have the rechargeable battery back anymore, I just have the double A batter back in there.
Windows recognizes the device as "360 Controller via Play and Charge Kit" but I can't get it to work with any games. I'm using Guardian of Light to test and the Gamepad options are greyed out.
I downloaded the drivers from MS site but it didn't fix it. Any help?

You need a wired 360 controller. A wireless 360 controller doesn't send any data through the Play and Charge cable.Ermac said:

You can only use the play and charge kit to charge it. You need a dongle to actually use it as a controller.

This is one of my biggest basic-functionality wishes for Steam. I would really love a few more features added to the browser.

Did you try it before it got signed as an actual MS-certified application?
I dunno, it works perfectly for me as a wired controller using 360 emulation, I just have to make sure I disconnect the controller through the app before disconnecting it physically, or it turns on my PS3 (lol).
Anyone tried this?19Kilo said:
The game is missing off this list, so I'm not entirely sure this isn't a mistake by greenmangaming part.

So I take it C&C 3 is the best of the games that are on sale? I already own RA3: Uprising from back when it was on sale for $2.50 or something, and enjoyed it enough to put 8 hours into it according to Steam. Haven't played anything else from the series.
