Windows is telling me GTA5 is using too much memory and I should close it.

...and then it promptly crashes.

What is happening?

Windows is probably right for once.
Sounds like a rather severe memory leak, if windows gets involved.
How much system mem do you have/how big is your swap?

Memory leak

no, no - it's the game itself ... that port is leaky as a colander ;) I've seen a lot of people complain about that ... so - just one more thing for them to patch ... someday
(as they don't even seem too keen on patching the freaking social flub for the people who can't play the game AT ALL ... or even let anyone know they're working on patching it)

First drop

Should i sell it or is better to wait? Higher request to buy is $0.59

never been too much into the market

The only option is to buy the rest of the set and craft them badges

Also puush had malware injected into their service a couple of weeks back so I'd avoid them for now.

Yes, but it takes a certain percentage of memory/swap use for windows to actually go "hey, uh, these guys keep forgetting to release memory" ;)

Weird, the steam page says I've unlocked 8 achievements for Lakeview Cabin which I did but clicking on view achievements or online shows only two :/

Edit: Starting the game up again seems to have fixed it
 
AAA studios have apparently totally left Straya now, with the closure of 2K Australia (the Borderlands: Pre-sequel studio)

The Australian dollar has crashed hard in the past few months and with the overwhelming incompetence of the federal government, it's only going to drop further. Once publishers realise it's cheaper again, some will come back. Some tax breaks would be nice too, though unlikely with Luddite governments spread far and wide across this land.

Oddly prices haven't dropped for games yet!
 
I'm thinking of picking up an SSD, but I don't want to spring for a huge drive that can store all my games. Is there a good option these days for quickly and easily moving games to and from different drives/libraries? Is Steam Mover reliable? Is there something better out there?
 
For those running the RSC version of GTAV, how are you capturing lossless photos? I'm used to just using the Steam overlay or GeDoSaTo.

And also, is there even a way to add the RSC version to Steam? None of the launchers work for me that way.

There might be a better way, but what I did was copy paste them over to a new drive, uninstall them, then install them again in that new location. It detects the files that are there and you don't have to re-download anything.
A bit of a pain because you have to do it one by one, but it works.

So I got my alienware alpha today. I was all excited to play games in 1080p but unfortunately I can't seem to get any game to recognize my TV resolution. I have a big 1080p TV in the living room which works perfectly, games recognize the resolution and everything, but my little 1080i TV in my bedroom does not work properly. Due to scaling issues I adjusted the resolution down to 1768x992 to fit the screen space. None of the games I've tried (ground zeroes, last light) will go past 720p on this thing. Has anyone had experience with this before? This is my first time trying to use a TV as my monitor.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

Steam's backup and restore function should work for multiple games.

How did you manage to get the Steam overlay with the RSC version?

Seems like I had extreme luck/misfortune and won two Modbot giveaways for Bejeweled 3...
Should I contact the giver and then give one of them away by myself?
Or contact one of the original giver and let them handle it?

Nah. If its a ROW key, the online region lock would be defined the IP you start the game with each time.

Phew, thank you!

Also about the codemaster sale, f1 2014 - only racing game I fucking hated. Bought it at launch and played barely anything. You can't spin out your vehicle even if you try. Very casual feeling for me. Some fans of the series still like it, maybe the controls mean they can focus on the positioning etc more but it really pissed me off. Driving mods in Assetto Corsa is much more satisfying. There are shit loads of f1 mods for it too.

Not sure what RSC is but you can add any non steam game to steam and launch it with the steam overlay. I think that allows you to take pictures.

There's an issue because of the launcher where it shows the logo splash and then terminates the process. Not sure if anyone managed to fix that yet.

Nuke the key as per the instructions here and then give it away yourself.
