I found a fix, finally. After hours of screwing around and searching for answers on the internet, which was just an enormous waste of time, I finally found a fix to all the freezes i've had with Assassin's Creed IV.
The game was litterally unplayable, couldn't even get through the intro mission. But the weird thing was, when it froze, the audio continued. So I started screwing around at the audio-side of things and guess what? After dialing my audio-quality down through the Windows Configuration-screen the freezes stopt...
What is this, Skyrim?!
Just though I should share this even though it's not Steam related in my case. Maybe it will help someone who has the same problem. Probably should post this on pcgamingwiki, after "play-testing" some more, that is.
Now I can actually play the game, and it's fun! I love the pirate setting.
Abstergo thing and it's first-person gameplay is a bit mindblowingly weird though, haha.
Apologies for any bad english grammar in this post. It's not my native language and i'm really, really tired.
Yep, I remember those days. When I was in college I owned a Gateway 2000 PC, it was a 486DX2-50 (with math co-processor), and it was the only PC in the entire dorm capable of running Doom smoothly. People would stop by our room just to play Doom for a bit, or they would gather around behind us as we played it on my 15" CRT monitor.
And when I wanted to play Longbow (a helicopter sim) I also needed a boot disk with a custom autoexec.bat file in order to open up enough upper memory in order to even play the game out of DOS.
PC gaming today is 1000% better than it was then, it might as well be console gaming it's so incredibly easy, lol.
As a noob to pc gaming I very much agree with this. It's been a revelation. It's so much cheaper too. The only big drawback for me really is that now I don't want to spend the £30-40 for the Wii U & 3DS games I wish to play :/.
There's just something about the Steam thread where I see a game on sale that I already own, makes me want to buy the game again cause the price is just too good to pass up, and then give it away. :lol Nice.
Also, this is actually the Typing of the Dead: Overkill - Thou Filthy Love bundle.
A-Train 8 is 75% off.
Should I buy it? Or wait for A-Train 9 to come out on Steam (it's on greenlight right now)?
I'm a big tycoon/building sim fan (Transport Tycoon, Sim City, Roller Coaster Tycoon, etc).
I hope the steam keys from my giveaway worked. I guess people would have PM'd me if they wouldn't.
Has anyone here actually played Rise of Flight? Is it a very hardcore simulator or is it easy to just get in a plane and fly around for a bit? I don't mind playing more complex simulators like DCS, but I want something that isn't quite as time consuming to get into.
I guess a lot of stuff will be cross-posted in both threads anyway, just remember to make a new thread for new stuff if any bombshells are dropped (I doubt it).
I've done it. I've bought my first bundle for which I have no interest in a single game. It was the Humble Simulator Bundle, and I'm not going to install any of them (paid just $1).

Goddammit, just finished the new walking dead episode. So great! Really hard-hitting developments. I think this season will be a fine addition to the first one!
Don't want or have a reddit account, and don't see the sense in asking a question that won't be answered. Feel free to copy and paste me if you think you have a chance.
Just finished Episode 2 of The Walking Dead Season 2 my good people.
It felt a bit short to me but I found it more intense than the second episode of The Wolf Among Us. It's hard to say something without spoilers, there was "someone" from the 400 Days DLC and someone you might expect (or not) from Season 1. Some parts of the writing in this episode felt a bit.. off. It just didn't made much sense but either way it was a really good episode. I would say it was shorter but that's the point: when you are so focused on the story you don't want your game to end so until episode 3 is out I'll wait.
So I have no idea what I've done, I've talked this out with JaseC, but somehow my Steam account has become immune to VPN. No matter what I do, South Park refuses to unlock. The only thing I can think is its something up with the SubID (http://steamdb.info/sub/32186/) but nothing I can see there seems out of place.
A very very very very very obvious fake person / troll already registered here using Gabe's email address. Of course the account was never activated because the email address was never confirmed, and the email address was never confirmed because you can't sign up for an account using someone else's email address and expect them to confirm it. LOL. This was a couple months ago, BTW.
