Hope they sell a map pack, I'll pay $5 for all 4/5 maps.

The towers should really just be one piece of DLC though. Or flat out free.

 

[Turfster]

So I transferred Deus Ex: HR over from a storage HDD to the Steam folder on my SSD, but I can't get Steam to recognize the game.

Any ideas? It would really annoy me to redownload all 8GB of data, when I'm already staring at them in the proper folder.

If nothing else works, you can always:
- rename that dir to something else for a second
- start the download, pause it and quit steam
- copy the files from that dir into the new one
- restart steam

It should skip all the files that are okay now and just get whatever was missing.

Can someone explain to me where Intkeys steals their keys from? How on earth can they afford to sell games like dead island, deus ex and rage for around $20?

Games are ridiculously cheap in Russia.

Russian keys. Publishers read their economics 101 again and found out you can't demand the same price everywhere (many Russians pirate games like crazy, guess what is/was one of the reasons). Check out this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=437356

I bought the PC version from Zavvi for 18€.

It would be kind of funny if the reason the Russian market had turned around and sold so well for Valve was primarily because of people in Russia reselling keys to other countries.

 

[Gvaz]

Seriously! What exactly is a Steam subscription?

I thought I owned these games. I'm not paying a monthly fee here...

You don't own any digital game, additionally steam is a subscription based service where you don't have to pay a monthly fee to utilize.

 

[Derrick01]

Oh man, my graphics card has burnt out, just as I got my Generations and Batman keys. Worst timing ever.

I kind of know that feel bro. Mine is on its last legs, I've been fighting off crashes and in a lot of games I can easily see I'm not getting the same stable framerates I've had. GTA 4 yesterday had a little but constant stutter going on in the world that was really noticeable as I drove around. I'm trying to hold off returning it as long as I can so I can play Skyrim.

Gotcha thanks

 

[K.Jack]

Is the directory set up right?

steamapps\common\deus ex - human revolution

On and try copying over the NCF files as well

steamapps\deus ex - human revolution english.ncf
steamapps\deus ex content.ncf

My man.

I had missed two files:

dx3_executable.ncf
dx3_main.ncf

I transferred those over then Steam ran a little update, and now the game is available.

Now I just need to find the save files....

 

[Echoplx]

Heh, didn't even notice those!

Your saves will either be on the Steam Cloud or can be manually found here

Steam\userdata\<id>\28050

Glad you got it sorted.

They've been saying this since 2009 or something when those sites selling Russian keys didn't exist/weren't popular.

 

[Smash88]

Also, video games.

It's not that, it's being a broke college student, every penny counts.

Well, piracy must be crazy over there since it's pretty developed here in Italy too but we still get some of the highest retail prices in the whole world.

Russia and China and other places in eastern mainland europe/asia have huge levels of piracy.

 

[wolfmat]

Russia and China and other places in eastern mainland europe/asia have huge levels of piracy.

Russia and China also exhibit a much higher level of professional piracy. So you can buy pirated games at the local market for very little money. Same for Brazil, for example. This ties in to organized crime syndicates and the like, at least when looking at the large-scale distribution of pirated games for money. Same goes for movies, music and all other media branches.
As for levels of consumer-downloads-game piracy, it's probably pretty evenly distributed globally with respect to the density of households having a computer and an internet connection.

Anyone else get this?

Probably should post that in the Bunch of Heroes Steam forum and/or contact the devs about it.

[MRORANGE]

best report it to steam forums, or deleting the whole folder of where the game is stored and re-downloading the game to see if still happens.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Probably should just ignore it, false positive.

This is a very bad idea, indie devs are notoriously slack in their QA and don't take enough precautions so it's quite possible that one of their executables was infected by a virus. On the other hand you'd think Steam would scan files for viruses before uploading them...

 

[amrod]

I gonna rescan my drives and see...

Preload of Sonic Generations is compleeeeeete.

My Steam is ready.

 

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

I'm playing through Far Cry with FCAM mod right now. Is there any way to edit some ini or sometying to get better draw distance / LOD?

 

[jediyoshi]

About to bite the bullet on Bastion. Outside of maybe Skyrim, I'm done buying/preordering for the season. Feelsgood

I don't know, I'm pretty sure that doesn't negate them being video games.

On the other hand, false positives are just that, false. The only thing QA should get the stick for in that case is not running it through an AV.

So I redownloaded it and still get this... Waiting on my steam forum account to be activated so I can post there

Its awesome to see Geneforge Saga in the Top 20 sellers, especially since those are ranked according to revenue.

terrible timing after indie royale, but to be fair that didn't sell that much.

Even for the price, the PS3 demo was way to bad for me to dip

Shogun 2 is $15 at Gamersgate, pretty sure it's Steamworks. I love Japanese history and empire building games but I am so terribad at RTS games.

 

[Gvaz]

$4 for two new maps? Lol fuck that

Can anyone confirm Gamersgate Steamwork thing ?

It is Steamworks. Gamer's Gate's site has this up in the usual spot for Steam games: "DRM:Requires a 3rd party download and account"

Buy with confidence.

Steam has been launching my games really slowly ever since yesterday.

How likely the game is too be in Steam holydays sales with all DLC for a lesser price ? Might dip now

It's technically RTS, but you can pause at any moment to look at how the action is going and set up command changes. I suck ass at RTS but I love these. Just keep in mind that your commands have to literally be shouted out by the squad leader, heard, and responded to. No hivemind armies here. If you're really not sure, the Shogun 2 demo is massive.

This is why I'm holding back from Shogun 2. All Total War games have done all-DLC bundles before, so I can wait. I need to play Empire/Napoleon and prefer their style, anyhow.

 

[morningbus]

I'd say that if you're worried about it, you should wait. Gamer's Gate's sale price is only 50% off the Steam price. It'll at least be that during the sale.

I just got Sanctum for free...I think. Why is that? Will I be charged? It says it was complimentary.

Well, I guess I should wait for the bundle. These DLC and expension looks pretty good so I would culpabilise if I were to miss them and buy them later for high prices.

They did ? Great. I'm waiting. Need the same for Civ5 anyway.

New features have been added to the Steamworks SDK:

The Steamworks SDK has been updated to support sharing cloud files with the Steam community, Steam Workshop integration, and a tool for automated DRM submissions. Also includes updates for using WebAPI AuthenticateUserTicket and merging of ISteamMasterServerUpdater with ISteamGameServer interface. Click the link above to download

I guess we can soon transfer game saves, configs, and screenshots easily between accounts.
