A new puzzle game called, Puzzle Dimension, is heading to Steam on June 21, 2010. It supports Achievements, Cloud, Leaderboards, and SteamPlay for about $9.99. Looks decent.

Burnout Paradise keeps crashing to desktop on the initial loading screen. 
I'm running Windows 7 64bit. Anyone else having this problem? Looking at the Steam forum for this others have ran into this and for some running in XP/Vista Compatibility and disabling your webcam in the configuration fixed it, but not for me.

Pretty bizarre that that happened. Let me know what you think, curious if we have similar "OMG IM PUMPED" tastesDaFish said:Tried installing the Mass Effect 2 demo... but it won't finish installing because of corrupted files
tried downloading twice from two different places, gonna try a third.
EDIT: Downloading the 3rd time worked... hmm
P.S. I got (us) FFIX on PSN... oh and everything for Burnout Paradise. Not sure how long it's been since you've checked in.

Damn, I wish I had read this 2 minutes ago. I just bought it and have Vista 64. I'm going to be very irritated if it doesn't run. Downloading right now.

Glad I didn't buy...

I tried to buy Burnout only to find out that I already owned it. God damn Valve has trained me good. :lol

I already own the PSN version of Paradise, but the deal was too good to pass up.
I don't know when I'll actually get around to playing this. God damn it, Steam.

Fuck, I'm having the same problem.

It's probably driver, since SecuROM is generally removed from EA games prior to a Steam release. There has only been two titles from EA that had any other DRM integrated on the Steam version and that was Bad Company 2 (removed in one of the patches) and Command & Conquer 3 (mistakenly left in and removed in a patch shortly after it was discovered).

It's even lower if you get someone from Europe to gift it to you. The European price converts to about $5.00
Edit: Oops @ the double post.

Serious? Well then, if anyone from Europe could help gift me with BP, I'd be very happy
EDIT: I'll pay for it of course

Neither Crysis or Crysis Warhead fell under the agreement that EA has with Valve. I'm pretty sure the agreement was originally between Valve and Crytek and it was their call to leave the DRM in.

Ok I have windows 7 64 bit and I was getting that problem like you guys, what fixed it for me was going into the steam folder and finding the directory for burnout, right click on the shortcut and go to properties, then go to compatibility and click the box that says run this program in compatibility mode, set it to windows xp service pack 3
The game is good. The port job is shit.vocab said:
The menu has something like a half-second of cusor lag, and it makes two folders in "My Documents" one called "Electronic Arts" and one called "Electrontic Arts". The texturing is a bit lackluster, and I couldn't find any way to increase it beyond the default. I'm using a 360 pad and its been working nicely. Performance has been solid.
While you're playing it's fine, but its very clearly a sloppy port.

Burnout Paradise isn't so hot anymore. I jacked everything right up and eh. It's quite surprising that it hasn't aged too well, I remember being blown away by the visuals on 360 back at launch.

Re: Burnout Paradise
I had to uninstall my webcam drivers (in my case drivers for the PS Eye), working fine now.

WHAT? I'll try this later today. I played BOP just fine but never tried it with the PSEye connected.Great King Bowser said:
Burnout Paradise is a triple dip for me, after getting the disc and PSN versions previously. I think it's the only game I've logged more time on than TF2.
Dumb tip, though: if you're trying to log in for the registration screen at the beginning and realize you can't type an "@" symbol for your EA login - you have to have a persona called "EA ID" as part of your account and use the name of that persona as the login. You can add it through the EA user management website if you don't have one (I didn't, although I had 8 other personas at the time).

I'd love to get Paradise on PC but there's no chance until they include support for the island DLC.
I don't get that menu lag, BTW. In case this is important, I use the vsync setting from D3D Overrider, not the in-game setting.
If you're playing with anything other than a 360 pad (or some other pad with emulation software), it's sloppy. With a pad, lovely.Slavik81 said:
