Here's the leftover from that humble bundle. Don't think it's the DA ultimate edition or the ME2 LE though.

Never reduce Safe Zone, that's for overscan losers who are too lame to fix their screen.

Does your display cut them off or something? I just use PC mode and Just Scan to get proper image.

GTA V has bug that causes HUD to stretch to screen borders in full screen. When you go in windowed mode everything is fine. You need to reduce Safe Zone to put back HUD in normal position.

SirMossyBloke said:
WHAT?

How in the world can you want a HUD more in the way of the screen? That's crazy.

Anyway, on another note, how's The Forest? I see its in early access right now. How buggy is it? Gameplay fun?

Visually it is awful when HUD is stretched to the edge of the screen, at least for me.

This is so true. The three games feel like a trilogy, with each game progressing in difficulty compared to the previous one. I'd absolutely recommend playing them in order too.

Was having an incredible time with Westerado but my power went off because of the heavy storming and now the game is broken even after re-installing :/

I'm pretty new to Gaf, honestly.
I've been browsing Gaf every now and then since late 2000s, but never this intense like in the past couple years. I've just recently decided to create this account back in August.

Probably gonna have to find the games app folder in steam and make sure it's completely deleted.
Hopefully it's just the save or something sticking around and it's corrupt.

I'm not surprised, judging by that guy's previous threads. That's the quickest way to get juniored.

Fair enough. It's just a simple way for the mods to take away thread creation privileges from people without banning them. Fortunately, it is not accompanied by an automatic permaban if you ever get banned like true Junior Members have.

There's also someone on the same page you posted that who is in this state, which is why I was surprised you hadn't seen it.

Yeah, the mods are pretty fair & reasonable, it seems.
The tag? I always thought that it's a cool tag lol.

What an annoying save corruption bug. You'd think any kind of sudden shut down ruining a save wouldn't happen.

Westeraldo has steam cloud support as well so I was confused as to why the game kept bringing the bad saves back until I remembered that was a thing, lol

Happened with System Shock 2 for me too. My PC lost power due to a faulty PSU back then. Ended up in a room of nothing whenever I reloaded. Had to load an old save and redo like 1 hour...

Quality updates from Valve. Should've left support in API at least.

Maybe it's best to not know prices in cheap countries thought...

It's a real bummer as I spent a lot of time on my first playthrough. Got the second character but now I'll have to beat the game again to get him to continue from where I left off. Oh well!

So I traded for Bloodsports.tv recently and upon activating the key it said "Bloodsports.tv for REVIEW" activated. I called the guy out on this and he said he had no idea what that meant. When I brought up that I wish I had known it wasn't a retail key he said to forget about the trade and that he expected nothing in return.

What's the worst that can come out of this? The game gets revoked or will I get Steam-banned? :O

They gave away a lot of keys some time ago, for beta I believe. I don't remember too well what they activated, I'm on mobile right now.
