Whats up?

 

[demosthenes]

Anyone having trouble getting connected to Steam?

Says I don't have internet but I'm currently using my internet....

 

[Symphonic]

It's known to be down. Posted last page.

[Soup Bar]

Yeah I'm also having trouble.

 

[Taker34]

Oh no my real life is down atm.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Great, I can't play Rising, lol.

 

[Echoplx]

Found this

I've never received any rewards from this, and now they removed the option to unlink your Steam account so you have to contact customer support to do it... Great.

 

[Arthea]

yup, my steam just died too
it happens way too often!

list

It's for new games and time limited and requires some client install? No thanks.

 

[Cheddahz]

Pouring one out for everyone who can't play MGR right now

 

[Saty]

Friends was down for a minute but its back up again.

 

[graywolf323]

Great, I can't play Rising, lol.

pretty sure they already issued the patch fixing it so you can play offline

 

[demosthenes]

Time to go grocery shopping

 

[Arthea]

Make sure to bring the rest us of some dew and doritos. Be cool.

Can't Steam games be played offline? I don't get it. Is it an achievements thing?

Edit: nvm, I remember the bug now.

 

[BadTaste]

Can't even play DayZ, ugh.

 

[Taker34]

Time to go grocery shopping

Sunday in Germany = all stores closed. I can basically do abso

Spoiler

fucking

lutely nothing.

 

[Cizeta-Moroder]

Now that Steam is down I noticed I can play shared games (DoD) even offline. Is this supposed to happen?

Edit: Half-Life and Civ V work, too.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Just finished Bioshock 1 - Fun fun game (was my first time playing through).

Now starting Bioshock 2...

Infinite soon

Good times.

How long did it take you to beat Bioshock 1?

 

[Saty]

Yes.

 

[JaseC]

Now that Steam is down I noticed I can play shared games (DoD) even offline. Is this supposed to happen?

Yes. Family Sharing doesn't disable offline play.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[BadTaste]

It's back up for me.

 

[chixdiggit]

Steam down, guess I can take a shower.

 

[Panda Rin]

steam is back up ...had to re-authorize my IP for whatever reason.

Woah, weird. That's when I do must of my stuff that I need to :lol

 

[Magwik]

So I bought Spelunky a while ago, and finally decided to play it. First try I went to change my resolution, and couldn't leave the options menu. After a few more attempts I decided to re-install it. After I did that everything was in Spanish and I still couldn't quit out of the options menu. What the hell is going on.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Every time I try to launch Mass Effect I'm getting an error and I have done some research and it may be because I don't have the 1.02 (or similar) patch that adds Windows 7 support. I have downloaded the patch but because Mass Effect isn't installed on my C drive the patch won't install. Has anyone got round this?

 

[Anteater]

Well guess it's time for jack to let' er rip

 

[Zia]

The Banner Saga, Nidhogg and Broken Age early this week!!

Very excited to see what people think of The Banner Saga!

Try verifying the game's cache. When I installed The Witcher 2 back in December 2011 Steam delivered v1.00 instead of the then-latest build (something I didn't pick up on until I was well into Flotsam, haha).

 

[Panda Rin]

what's the difference between the F2P version of Banner Saga and the one coming out on Tuesday?

That's one of the first things I did and it's fine apparently.

Edit: Got it working by running Steam in Administrator mode.

 

[Chronoja]

The Banner Saga: Factions is just a multiplayer timewaster. The one coming out is a single player campaign.

 

[kurahador]

Bored and decided to spend a few hours playing some shmups---Ether Vapor Remaster and Jamestown.

Fuck me...what a frustrating games both of them----really damn addictive though.
I came pretty close to yelling like crazy person a few times, guess it also makes a nice exercise in patience.

 

[Phinor]

The devs are in so much trouble for releasing that F2P component first...

F2P is multiplayer. Tuesday is singleplayer.

 

[fokkusu]

Is SR4 Season Pass region locked? Nuuvem has it circa 2€.

Jamestown is fucking brilliant.

 

[Turfster]

Jamestown is fucking brilliant.

Jamestown was great... until I had to redo previous levels at harder difficulties to progress the "story"... and ran aground on the one I could barely scrape through on the normal difficulty =p

 

[Zia]

I understand it serving as a good tool for campaign balance, but it's a) muddied the message and b) wasn't very well received, whereas I think their battle system, though not as nuanced as something like XCOM or Fire Emblem, works very well within the context of the actual game.

 

[kurahador]

Yeah...Chapter 2 is fucking brutal for me.
And I need to do a Legendary run to progress....... (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

[FloatOn]

poor Liam Neeson

 

[Rhaknar]

poor Liam Neeson

thought he died for a second, you scared me :/

 

[Dice]

Really? I didn't think it was bad until Chapter 4 on Divine. Welcome to the old school, I guess.

 

[scorpscarx]

Typing of the Dead again? Wasn't it just a daily?

I googled Liam Neeson to see if he died too lol.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Loving MGRR right now and I have only played it for like an hour. That image of "what I expected/what I got" perfectly describes the game. I secretly wish that rest of Platinum Games catalog eventually hits Steam but I am not keeping my hopes up...

 

[Giard]

Seems like Groupees has stopped sending out Steam keys for stuff I bought in bundles, like War of the Human Tanks, Dysfunctional Systems and Knights and Merchants. Has anyone gotten them?
