Putting together the pieces, I've gotten Dead Space running fine (60fps locked) like this:

In-Game:
Set v-sync to OFF


Set Mouse Sensitivity All the Way Up


Catalyst 10.5(ATI):
Set V-Sync to Application Controlled and un-check Triple Buffering


D3DOverrider:
Using the "+" icon navigate to the Dead Space.exe;
[STEAM - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dead space\Dead Space.exe"]
Set Application Detection Level to High, Force Triple Buffering & Vsync


Lastly I used X-Mouse Button Control to force the game to recognize mouse buttons 4&5 on my MX518. Again, you will have to navigate to the Dead Space.exe withe the "ADD" button:

 

[Dreams-Visions]

D3D Overrider. Interesting.

Do you guys recommend using that for most games instead of their built-in v-sync?

 

[blackMamba1187]

This is the first time I'm actually using it. I'm interested in the answer as well.

D3D Overrider. Interesting.

For the most part, yes. However, I would never use v-sync in game or triple-buffering through D3Doverrider in any competitive shooter online. The mouse feeling a little floaty gets too irritating for me. Some games it's really noticeable in.

I have D3DOverrider on at all times.

Any ideas about forcing AA in Dead Space, with an ATI card?

 

[faceless007]

Yes to any game with a budget over $1mil released in the last four years

Assassin's Creed II has problems with the wireless one.

 

[Stallion Free]

Only the ingame edge-AA works on both ATI and Nvidia cards sadly.

yeah found out last night that it sucks forcing all the other modes does nothing =(

 

[DogWelder]

Gonna be $24. How can anyone refuse at that price?

 

[Slo]

I'll bite for $24. I only paid $10 for ME1, so this better be 2.4x better OR ELSE.

 

[DogWelder]

And here's the Dragon Age deal:

 

[DanDeschain]

Damn, I was hoping for 50% off Dragon Age.

 

[NIGHT-]

Already own Dragon age and ME1 AND 2 on 360. Would you guys say its worth to double dip on PC with those deals?

 

[hamchan]

Dragon Age and ME1 - definite yes.
ME2 - Can't say, 360 version was technically fine.

 

[Jangaroo]

The games look even better on the PC plus you can mod ME2 to an extent. Plus K+M. It's a no brainer to me. I'll be picking up ME2 and DA:Awakening.

 

[panda21]

Yes to any game with a budget over $1mil released in the last four years

i'm not sure how big a budget that is, but theres actually a lot of big games that it doesnt work for, or claims to but is broken. Anything by DICE for a start...

not a great deal on DALC but mass effect 1 should be stupid cheap

 

[DogWelder]

Yeah I can't really imagine how badly DA would control on consoles. Totally worth getting it again to play it the way it was meant to be played.

 

[erpg]

If you liked Dragon Age, definitely. The 360 pales in comparison to the ease of control, and graphical improvement of the PC version. Plus, you can download mods to make Morrigan and Sten look less ugly, for example.

And if the collection is Origin/Awakenings, then 50$ for both isn't bad.

 

[Fewr]

How much for ME1?

 

[JADS]

hahahahahahha[/IMG]

Gonna be $24. How can anyone refuse at that price?

€49,99 * 0,6 = €29,99 Regular
€59,99 * 0,6 = €35,99 Digital Deluxe

 

[panda21]

really really badly. like really.

 

[Firebrand]

Hmm. €30, not super cheap but I might bite just to have it on Steam. Cheaper than local retail stores at least when shipping is added.

 

[Rockman-X]

Well, seems like a good time to pick ME1 up. How long until the store updates?

 

[Volcynika]

25 minutes.

24 minutes.

 

[Diablohead]

Is mass effect not on the UK steam games catalouge? can't find it (wanted to work out what 75% off would make it) *edit* found it, £12.99 currently so that would make it £3 in the sale, sweet jesus.

I am currently on my hard playthrough on the 360 with a friends copy but if it's onyl a few £ I would love to own it on pc just to play it in 60fps and msaa'd, if possible.

 

[Mrbob]

Meh, 25% off isn't that big of a deal for the Dragon Age expansion. I guess I still wait before picking it up.

 

[Diablohead]

Offers are on, £3.24 for mass effect, £17.99 for the second.

 

[hamchan]

Was Australia always price gouged for ME2? I never noticed before.

 

[Castor Krieg]

Can I buy expansion pack for DA:O while not having the original game on Steam (I have it as EA Store download)?

 

[Diebuster]

Does Mass Effect have any DRM? I don't see anything mentioned on the page, but I want to be sure.

 

[notworksafe]

Just normal Steam DRM.

 

[Volcynika]

On the expansion's store page

Notice: This expansion pack requires the Steam version of Dragon Age™: Origins in order to play.

 

[Benedict]

Offers are on, £3.24 for mass effect, £17.99 for the second.

How does £17.99 equal 29.99€?

 

[tjohn86]

fuck i just bit last week on ME 2 for 360... oh well the extra money is worth achievements

 

[Diebuster]

Just normal Steam DRM.

Thanks, bought

 

[Diablohead]

How does £17.99 equal 29.99€?

That was the ME2 regular, the digital special edition is £23.99.

 

[Lumine]

Aww, was hoping for better prices on ME2. Saw it for much less in shops. Anyone know if the retail version works with Steam?

 

[Volcynika]

You can add a shortcut to the EXE on your games list. That's about it. It cannot be attached to your account that way.

 

[Polk]

That was the ME2 regular, the digital special edition is £23.99.

Witch translates to 35,99€.

 

[derFeef]

FUUUUUUUUUU I missed the Dead Space deal

 

[Jangaroo]

So is exactly how good are the ingame items in the Deluxe Edition of ME2? Are they actually worth using? If they're useless I guess I'll go with the standard edition.

 

[Trouble]

Damn, $24 for ME2 is not bad for a game barely 6 months old. $5 for ME is a no brainer if you don't have the PC version (it's way better than the 360 version, in technical aspects).

For those picking up ME2 who didn't play ME or played it on the console.
http://www.masseffectsaves.com/ has all your save game needs so you don't have to go with the default choices.

Weapons are good, but the rest is meh.

Silly questions:

1. Is there any way to do the equivalent of ctrl-F to search in the Steam browser? That would be really nice. :lol Or I guess I could just use a different browser instead...

2. I heard a couple of people mention DLC for Mass Effect 2, but I don't see it for sale in the store. Can you get it on Steam, and if so how much does it cost? *edit* Someone feel free to correct me, but some searching seems to indicate that I would have to get it off the Bioware store, and it would be like $16 total USD?

3. Aside from the soundtrack and the couple of extra armor/weapon items, is the deluxe version a lot better in your random internet opinion?

4. For anyone who monitors retail, is $24 a price you're unlikely to see Mass Effect 2 for in the near future? I'm very unlikely to play Mass Effect 2 soon since I haven't even started Mass Effect 1, so I can afford to wait a while. (my apologies if asking about a $24 game offends anyone ) *fake edit* It looks like the normal PC version is around $30 with shipping/tax from Amazon and Wal-mart so that's not a huge discount. I'll probably wait unless the deluxe edition is that much better or someone convinces me otherwise.

 

[Mrbob]

Odd question.

I have the ME2 CE on 360....if buy the PC regular edition, do I get to load all that extra content on the PC version since everything is linked to a Bioware account?

 

[MNC]

Gonna rant some more about €/$

ME2 price is €30 while USD is $24? :| That means...


€30 = $37
$24 = €19!

Spoiler

Yes, get it gifted, etc. I just like to be dumbstruck by the actual price calculations.

2. You buy it on the Bioware site. A bunch of stuff is free as well.
3. Not really. I got the normal edition and I'm quite pleased with it.

Should work just fine once you register your copy of ME2 on the website.
