Just copy the folders/gcf files manually. That should work fine and once they are copied, have him verify the game cache so it can grab and correct any files it needs.

Its very likely its a Steamworks title like DOW2 so you'll be ale to add it to your Steam list anyway.
Yeee just bought shattered horizon, too good to pass up despite having a backlog big enough to drown in.
Quick question, probs the wrong place to ask but why not... just tried playing SF4 for the first time and I just get a big ass black screen when after the launcher pops up and gives me a choice to configure a gamepad, anyone else had this problem/know what could fix it? It just sits there at the black screen after having the normal "press shift tab to access steam community" and shows the game key.
is what it looks like

Try Alt + enter. What happens? Does sounds even play, or is it just a black screen of nothing?

If its the same problem I had with MW2, it may be the resolution that is selected isn't compatible with your monitor. Try and change your monitor resolution and then start the game, see what happens. Also try and go into the games folder and see if there is a profile file, delete it and then restart the game.

is shattered horizon that good? also is super street fighter 4 planned for pc?
Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for the suggestions, been enjoying shattered horizon and just popped out and tried a few suggestions, unfortunately no dice I think I'll just try reinstalling it next data rollover and see if that makes a difference it worked with mass effect 2 which was giving me hassles before so hopefully it'll work with this

Have you tried "-autoconfig" in the game parameters? I don't even know if it'd work, but it's worth trying.

I can play it maxed out @ 1920 x 1080. The performance decrease with AA on isn't worth it though. If I overclocked my 5850 to it's limit, I'm pretty sure it would be a little better, but still AA kills in this game. I know someone with a Tri SLI setup, and AA crushes his comp.
Just found out about this site, http://www.find-games.co.uk/, makes it easy to find the cheapest price for games.Gowans007 said:

It is smooth for me at 1920x1200, max details, 4xmsaa and 16xaniso (as you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAaWNEM-IYM but the video has a cap of 30fps).
It's gorgeous, and i must say it is much more fun than i expected
PC spec are: i5 750, 4GB RAM and a 5870 on Windows 7 64bit
I posted 2 screens on the PC 2010 highres screenshots thread
So this is the only place I can think of asking about this, but I purchased something today on Steam and got the "Your transaction is pending you will be notified when it has been approved" or that's the basic idea behind it. Anyone know how long it takes for this to get fixed usually? Doesn't make sense to me considering I have plenty of money in my account.

It is usually instant, but there are a few exceptions. The exceptions are mainly MMOs that require verification before a key is assigned to the downloadable version. Aion, Champions Online, and I think Star Trek are the only MMOs that require this and they require it for all downloadable versions (Direct2Drive, Impulse, and Steam).

Can someone who plays Shattered Horizon tell me if the server population looks like it improved since the weekend sale? I'm loved the game but I'm thinking maybe I should wait until it has a bigger player base if the servers are still as empty as they were before.

Is anyone else's Steam program broken? It tried to update to the new client version, and in doing so it fucked itself sideways. I've tried everything. When I install Steam, (With a fresh .msi from the steam website) it will install fine. But when it tries to update itself, it gets to 27% and then crashes. I get this error: "Steam.exe (main exception): ERROR: deleted Steam.exe but the file is still there"
Apparently a lot of people are having this problem. HALP?
I've scoured the internet, and I've found about a million different way to fix it, and none of them have worked. I've uninstalled my AVG and turned off my firewall. I shut off just about everything else when trying to update it. nothing works.
tha fuck, steam.

Navigate to your steam folder and delete the ClientRegistry.blob file. That fixes about 90% of Steam problems.

I don't quite understand this but the server browser is saying stuff like 320/32 players :lol wtf happened today?I <3 Memes said:
It's hard to win an arguments against you, even tho this argument is about his opinion, huh?wmat said:
He says he didn't like the game, then you ask him if he ever played it. He did, he gives you proof that he played it for over 30 hours and now you're telling him he played the game too much to have a negative opinion on it?
Let the dude think GTA 4 suck. He's not wrong, after all.

Okay now, hold on. So after it tries to update and fails, steam.exe eventually deletes itself (it won't let you delete it manually) So then I renamed SteamTMP.exe to Steam.exe, and then the new Steam.exe gets to 27% and gives me the error: cannot open Steamnew.exe for writing (something like that, it closed itself)
Once again, AVG is uninstalled, and firewall is off.

Since I first played it I've been saying that it's like Counter-Strike in space.

SundaySounds did you already have steam installed and this happened during a routine update?

Originally, yes. Then I tried to reinstall it. and so, here we are. Before the steam client update, It's worked fine for a long time.

Never had your problem before. Hmm. Others have had problems with the most recent client update, as offline mode no longer works. Have you tried asking on the official Steam forums?

Got Dirt2 free with my 5850.
I get weird graphical glitches though... anyone have an idea as to why this might be happening?
Specs:
i5 750
ATI 5850
4gb RAM
Windows 7 x64 professional
These weird lines pop out of all kinds of things while driving. It happens frequently and really quickly.

Those are artifacts, IMACOMPUTA. Try underclocking and see if they go away. If they do then your card can't handle the stock clocks. If they don't then you might have a bad core.
