If you have an AMD GPU with 15.7.1 then this works.

It's an issue with the latest drivers, 15.7.1, the previous drivers 15.7 on W10 Pro play the game fine.
Been playing it lately with no crashes. Might not be related directly to Windows 10. There's an AMD sticky in the steam forums that if you have an AMD GPU.

Wow, it's going to be DOA with that kind of publicity.
Edit: May have been advertised and I haven't been looking.

Anyone played Starbound lately? How 'Early Access' are we now?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Their name makes me think of the Gin Blossoms song. Totally not scary.

Wonder if Konami could technically do something against them. Hope not. Always nice to see small people achieve stuff.

Perfect. Will back that shit just because it will be VR!

I hope to see a "creative consultant" tier somewhere. They have potential, but honestly, their video did absolutely nothing to convince me they understood why things are supposed to be scary. A good looking engine can only take you so far, especially when compared to the mind bendingly good P.T. that they cite as a heavy influence.

Who knows, I think a Konami person knows about the issue even, but haven't issued a fix.

3? Now I've heard everything.
This bot is drunk. This is not PC news, let alone Steam news.
Who said they weren't going to fix it?
Debugging is easy! Problems can be debugged in seconds and patches can be coded, tested, and certified in mere hours!
It's getting fantastic, congratulations!
Thanks!

I mean if the fix just consists of replacing a DLL, why couldnt they do it now?

Haven't ever played an XCOM game, but from what I've heard, the latest game starts off with
humanity being beaten/ruled by the aliens. I assume that's the joke being made since that user gave up trying to beat it

At release it was a very basic Terraria clone with some new stuff of it's own. A few months back, after they resumed public updates, everything new was gated behind some tedious missions. I haven't bothered to keep up since then.
Feels like it'll be a year at least before they hit their feature list for full release. And it'll probably be much longer before it's really *fun.*
Impossible Iron Man is canon. Sort of.
Pretty much. The premise of XCOM 2 is "what if XCOM lost?" Which makes the ending most people get the canon one.
My girlfriend and I used to play it a lot, but had to stop recently. We've been playing Terraria instead. Terraria runs a lot better and has some other things that I wish Starbound did, but I still like Starbound more. There was a really big update that just released for the Unstable build, so I'm curious to try that out.
I play BF4 all the time on PS4 and I've never seen any sharks.
Now I'm scared to play it again.
Edit: ahh didn't mean to double post

havent played BF4 for a while
uh
Toy soldiers mod? Or is that shark actually three stories tall.

Megalodon
Guess last I beat it there was no canon and that was just the scrub ending.

Oh that's rad. Now I know what a megalodon is!
Easter eggs need to return in full force.
Mass Effect doesn't have DRM on Steam.

Oh God. Some of them are bad enough when animated. Nooope. Nope.
Oriiiigiiiin.

Nope. If a site sells Battle.net games it's not legit (unless it's blizzard's own store, of course)
Any unauthorized third party key seller is generally not worth the risk.

Finished a full match today in Killing Floor 2. Boy is it intense action. Thought a little more gritty L4D2 but it play a lot more different. Instead of running long patches like headless chicken and spraying areas of zombies, there are smaller areas to hold out waves. Zombies here also feel more dangerous and diverse.
Of course the main thing, shooting, is incredible! Body parts flying all around the place, nailing headshots with that gritty, satisfying mushy sound, b&w slow-mo for that incredible sweet sweet precision mayhem.
Weapons themselves feel awesome and come in a surprising slew of variations. Levels are very atmospheric.
I am having fun. I am having loads of fun.
Lashman you da MVP!

Because if it's something like "oh, well if you put the old dll back in here, everything works", that's not a solution, that's a workaround -- the delta from version a to version b would be missing and all the new function in the library would be gone. There's no difference in AMD saying "roll your driver back" vs pushing a new driver with the old dll.
At the end of the day, the shop wants to understand the cause so they can fix it and deliver the new code/features that the latest driver was supposed to contain, they have to find the root cause and then program a solution. In my experience in the software industry, this is usually done as quickly as possible, but requires things such as code reviews so that hopefully the fix that is pushed out doesn't break anything else (so this also requires testing/QA). In the case of drivers, they may need to get it certified (i don't know that process, but the main Nvidia drivers have WHQL cert or something like that, for example).
So the best solution for AMD or whomever is usually "if it breaks something you want to play, give us as much data as you possibly can so we can find the cause more quickly and then go back to an old driver that works for now. thanks for your patience and we appreciate your business."
