What are the general fixes for screen tearing? I seem to get it in games even with Vsync on.

I'm using an ATI card if that information is somehow useful.

Are you sure it's tearing? If vsync is on and neither CCC/RadeonPro nor your game is force-overriding it off, then tearing should be literally impossible as far as I am aware.

My normal answer is to download the RivaTuner suite and run D3DOverrider specifically. You can use it to turn on vsync + triple buffering, and that typically runs pretty well.

 

[iNvid02]

I used their site when trying to optimize Deus EX: HR and I have to say, it's surprisingly competent. I'll be starting Skyrim one of these coming days, and will definitely be using this as my starting guide.

some say nvidia pays devs to optimize their games for their cards, i reckon it has some degree of truth to it

I'm positive it is screen tearing. But maybe CCC is overriding it. I dunno.

Drop settings until you can keep a locked framerate that's equal to your refresh rate. If you still get screen tearing then it's time to start looking into a new GPU.

Sadly I'm gaming on a laptop so looking into a new GPU isn't an option.

I'll try lowering the setting as a last resort.

Well definitely give D3DOverrider a try, then. It works with most things.

Awesome news, I'm really glad To The Moon could be coming. It's high up on my list of games to play.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

The new Steam update is out. I'm not sure how the Workshop works though.

what's awful is for those of us with contributions, it got rid of the quick access we had to the pages, and replaced it with that...

That menu was always there for contributors, but it used to only show their items, now it's been replaced and I miss it (since it made it quick to check the ratings on my stuff)

Daily Deal - Dino D-Day - $3.39

Daily Deal - Dino D-Day $3.39 (66% off)

Edit: Beaten

 

[Fare Godmace]

For the love of all that's sacred, DO NOT BUY DINO D-DAY. Feels like a bad Day of Defeat reskin, the concept is great and the loading screens can get a chuckle out of you, but that's it. Also, the community is dead, even during the Winter Sale when it had a Winter-themed achievement (that didn't count for the Big Pile of Coal in the end).

EDIT: Weird... Rochard just updated, and now it's starting to update again, this time downloading the whole game.

 

[Relax.MX]

I loving Tropico 3: Absolute Power right now(before i suck in this kind of games...my city always it goes bankrupt in 15 min XO), but after this first win of me XO im looking for something a little more complex...

Been waiting for this! They submitted to Steam last November.

Use d3doverrider for vsync/triple buffering and force it on medium detection level and it's worked pretty much 95% of the time. Works fine for my old 4850 and my current 6870.

@developers: Thanks for trying, come back when you understand what pc gamers want and doesn´t want.

Awesome. I'll buy again to show support. Such a sad game. :-(

Take the bad with the good, I suppose.

Scoregasm (and soundtrack) might be hitting the storefront soon. I guess that's a good thing for you grid view guys.

Oh hey I looked at my grid view and saw the Scoregasm window is already there , along with the store page http://store.steampowered.com/app/202410/

Now about really big sky...

 

[1-D_FTW]

Could be worse. Could be exclusive to the Windows Store. I'm curious if Ms Splosion Man is exclusive to the Windows store, or if it'll be released on Steam too. Not holding my breath.

If only they'd let us put custom pictures in, so much could be fixed.

True. I'm just thankful it's on PC.

 

[dLMN8R]

Was this really not mentioned in this thread? A Steam Client update just rolled out yesterday:

- Fixed roaming game categories and favorite settings being reset
- Added option to set server browser ping rate independently from download rate
- Fixed missing menu item for updating AMD video drivers
- Fixed launching of 64-bit games with "-" in the command line
- Improved in-game overlay compatibility for some 64-bit game executables
- Added ability to handle proxies that require "basic" auth when downloading games using the new content system
- Improved support of concurrent user sessions from multiple platforms
- Fixed cloud enabled games sometimes not launching until the client is restarted. Also fixed the Steam client showing a “Waiting for cloud sync” dialog at exit forever when in this state.
- Updates to workshop APIs for upcoming Steamworks games

FINALLY

Well it was in the beta for weeks. I'm sure it was mentioned back then. A new beta client went up straight away after this got out. With a few fixes for the web browser overlay.

I'm actually surprised by this news, last I heard Steam didn't accept RPG maker games. I bet all the positive press really helped getting it accepted, now I hope this will open up the floodgates for this sort of thing.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is coming soon and should be gfwl.

So, I played through ITSP. I liked it. I played it from start to finish in one sitting of 4.5-5 hours. It had something of a Metroidvania vibe. I liked the pace. I recommended it on GAF.

... but every day that went by after I played it, I felt like I liked it less. The level design was quite bland. While new abilities unlocked new progress, there wasn't the kind of density that a good Metroidvania provides, and I never felt like there were secrets hidden everywhere. It was really short. It was pretty unremarkable in terms of gameplay/combat. The art design is neat, but it stands out less now than it did while I was playing it.

So if you're hesitating on this game and the GFWL news maybe pushed you over the line not to buy it... that's probably a good thing.

 

[Ledsen]

I'd say the combat was the big shortcoming of ITSP. The level design wasn't that good, but at least it kept you going and the puzzles were a fun distraction. The combat, however, was terrible, and the game is best played simply flying past all enemies.

 

[TouchMyBox]

There are still GFWL games coming out?

Can someone also find me a list of upcoming movie releases on VHS?

 

[ShaneB]

I feel weird when I say I kinda wish more games were Steamworks + GFWL... I basically want the greatness of Steam and everything about it, but I like being logged into Xbox Live since I have a bunch of friends there.

I guess I'd be happier if they just switched to pc gaming and Steam as well

 

[NaM]

Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition $ 39.99

Downloadable Content For Fallout: New Vegas $ 45.94
$3.99 USD
Fallout New Vegas®: Gun Runners’ Arsenal™
$1.99 USD
Fallout New Vegas®: Courier’s Stash™
$9.99 USD
Fallout New Vegas®: Lonesome Road™
$9.99 USD
Fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues
$9.99 USD
Fallout New Vegas: Honest Hearts
$9.99 USD
Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money

So it's cheaper to buy the Ultimate edition rather than the DLC for the game I already own. Bullshit.

Just turn on your 360.

If you like Tropico and would like something a little more complex, can I suggest Patrician?

Many of the fundamentals of Tropico are there, you just have a much bigger canvas to work with

I was hoping they would add an "Upgrade" option. I think I saw that on one of the Assassin's Creed games.

Good thing I waited! I put Fallout 3 Ultimate on my wishlist and after I did I read that New Vegas would get a Ultimate edition as well. So I'll put it on my wishlist now.

 

[Dice]

$10 during the summer sale. Believe.

 

[Piercedveil]

Hi, guys. If I deleted DLC from a game a while ago, can I reinstall the DLC without reinstalling the entire game? I'm sure there has to be a way but I am just not seeing it.

 

[NaM]

A price reduction on the DLC to match the ultimate edition would be nice. I have no doubt that will not happen though.

 

[Bill Murray]

Good thing I waited! I put Fallout 3 Ultimate on my wishlist and after I did I read that New Vegas would get a Ultimate edition as well. So I'll put it on my wishlist now.

With sales, I think I ended up getting everything listed for a lot less than $40. I wanna say $25 or so, but not totally sure.

Verify game data, maybe?

That doesn't help with the whole playing games together thing

Less than than that, think it ended up at like 18 bucks or something. Really wish I had picked up the dlc, but after playing Fallout 3, and now Skyrim, I think I'll take a break from these open world rpg's for quite a while. It'll be cheap eventually!

:O

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Speaking of New Vegas, it would be cool (but unlikely) if they hooked up mods for NV to use the Workshop like Skyrim.

But I don't really see a financial benefit to doing so, so I doubt they'd bother

I got my invite on the day I got accepted into the Steam mobile app beta two weeks ago..

New Vegas was $5 once and and the DLC where something like $2.50. So that's about $15

I feel the same way. Arkham City got it right if you ask me

 

[kennah]

I picked up all the DLC for New Vegas for 11.50 combined during the recent sales...

 

[Snuggles]

I somehow missed out on the past DLC sales, but I'm ready to play them now so I hope there is a sale soon. I can't justify paying full price for them when they've been so cheap.
