The demo was shit, I played it before I got the game too and was really underwhelmed, which worked out great because the game really blew me away then. 360 pad has perfect support.neoism said:

Yeah, I'm installing 10.6 tonight and I don't expect it to hurt the ME2 performance at all. This was 8x AA box, with multisample AA quality.vocab said:

Apart from technical problems, should Mirror's Edge and Dead Space be played with a controller?

Yeah, ME works perfect and even changes button prompts. Wouldn't recommend it at all though as the game feels a million times better with mouse. Dead Space feels better with the mouse simply because it's a lot easier to take off limbs which is important in the game. Also, the asteroid section is hella easy. Dudes struggle to survive it at all on 360, let alone keep the health over 50% while I get 80% health on my first try with a mouse :lolSchmattakopf said:

Yes, Dead Space is really really good and I think I haven't seen a single person that is negative on the game. The 360 demo is indeed crap, but the whole game is better.neoism said:

Fuck, now I have Dead Space's black-screen issue (game starts, screen is black, Alt-F4 ends). I don't remember having had that when I originally installed it earlier this year or whenever I got it.
Verified cached files, downloading like 4.6GB of data again. But somehow I can't shake the feeling it won't do..

So I bought Burnout Paradise, game looks and runs fantastic at max settings.
And god damn, the crash-cam is awesome in every way possible, it feels like Midtown Madness on speed and epic jumps and sweet shortcuts and high speed racing and stunt challenges and ohmygod I'm drowning in awesome.

I never experienced the issue myself, but did you already try adjusting all the video settings or can you not even see that? If that's invisible then that's really a really f'd up bug.
Typical things like new drivers checked? I'm sure you have newer video card drivers than the last time you played it? So maybe even downgrade your videocard drivers?

Is it normal for the screensaver to turn on when using a controller? I had it happen twice now in Burnout Paradise and the game doesn't seem react to well to it coming on. Simply alt tabbing out and back in fixes the game though, but it's a minor annoyance.

I haven't seen it that cheap, but it's $15 on Amazon. I'm not interested in paying that for a disc copy, though.

I was actually wrong. It is not triggering the screensaver but it is shutting off the monitor after the specific amount of time that is stated in Vista's power settings. I've tried it with 1 minute, 5 minutes and 20 minutes and every time I've used the pad without touching the keyboard or mouse or allowed it idle for the specific amount time, it just shuts down the monitor :\

Yes, it does. Just never had this problem before with SF4 and I really don't want to have to disable automatic screen off :\. Guess I'll just press the keyboard once every few minutes.

These random PC quirks suck. And not that it is an excuse for it . . . but a nice thing about Steam is that you end up with so many games that you can just give on up those which you can't get to run easily.

guys I have 5870 and i cant seem to to run Mirrors edge maxed out 1920 x 1080 at a stable 60fps(with physx off). Is this normal?
I wouldn't think so. I can run 1680x1050 with 8xQ AA settings (physx off) at (mostly?) 60 fps with a 5850, and I have a stock speed core 2 duo 2.0 GHz e8400. What is your CPU, what OS, and have you updated your video card drivers lately? What framerates are you getting?Kabuki Waq said:
*edit* Well, when I first installed it like a week ago I thought I got 60 fps, and now I get like 24 fps. I don't know what causes that but it's weird. Maybe my 5850 is dying already. I'll see if a reboot fixes it.
*edit again* I didn't even reboot. Two notes: One, alt-tabbing out of the game seems a little weird, so you might not want to do it too much. Two, and I think this is the big one, check your CCC settings:
Even though it says to use application settings, make sure that your AA is changed to "Box". Mine was changed to Edge, and I guess it was trying to do high-quality AA which was killing the performance. Now I get 30-60 fps in most areas it seems, and I think it still looks decent to me:
If someone thinks there's anything wrong with that image, please let me know so I can try to fix my system.
*edit one last time* Yes, using anything but "box" definitely kills my performance. I do recommend changing the AA mode to adaptive multi-sample anti-aliasing, though. There are still jaggies ingame, I guess, but it seems to make rails look better at a distance.
I'm having a couple of problems with Burnout Paradise. I can't find a way to configure my Controller S in the game, I can't find a way to check the keybinds (I use a French AZERTY keyboard so things are a little weird), and I can't login the to EA ID I made in Mass Effect 2. I can login on EA's site, because it uses the email address as the login name, but Burnout doesn't allow the @ symbol in the username box. Anybody seen this before? I'm stumped

You can do one of two things: Create a new ID in-game and use the same exact information that you used to create your EA ID or just use the Master EA ID username to sign in.
Yeah, it won't let me do the first thing because the username is already taken (by me), and I can't do the second because it doesn't recognize me without using my email address to sign in, and it doesn't allow @ signs. Also, is it just me, or is there no way to exit the game without Alt-F4? I am regretting this purchase all around at this point :/crimsonheadGCN said:

There's a third thing, and it may work better than the other two:
1) Go to https://profile.ea.com/myprofile.do. Sign in.
2) Look under "Personas" for the one labeled "(EA ID)". If so, use that as your user name to log in.
3) If there isn't one, click the orange "Add Persona" button. Select "EA ID" and punch in whatever name you want.
4) Now go back to Burnout and use the login that's your EA ID, and the password from your full-blown EA account.
This is how I got it to work, at least.

That's because the ingame vsync option caps the game at 30fps. D3DOverrider's triple buffering works much better.
Mirror's Edge BOUGHT. Steam is on a role the past few weeks!
For anyone on the fence about Dead Space, it's probably in my top 5 games of this gen. Great mix of scares, suspense, action, exploration, and atmosphere. You would pay $10 to go through a haunted house, Dead Space is much better.

I really only have the one from Mass Effect:Remy said:
I guess I could just create a brand new EA ID, but that just seems dumb. I'll probably do that, but I still have control issues
Edit: Used the "Add Persona" button to add my username. We'll see if that works.
Edit edit: Didn't work at all. What a goddamn clusterfuck of abysmal.
Random Steam question - is there any way to get music in mid-nineties PC games like Quake? I realise they were all using CD audio back then, but other platforms/emulators get around this with MP3s of the soundtrack. Playing these games without music really kills it for me.
edit: Ah, I see - there are some tricks to reenabling them, found here. Shame that Steam/Activision aren't making the effort to represent these PC games fully.

Hmm, wondering what Awakenings will show up at. Be nice if they had a package too, my girlfriend would like to own both on Steam.
Shameful revelation: I'm not buying Mirror's Edge because I'm afraid of heights, and the bone-crunching death sound makes me unsettled.
