I've been using Win10 Enterprise for a little while now and haven't had any issues outside of a weird LAN IP address issue with CS:GO.

thanks
i think i'll back up my system and delete everything not necessary in the C drive , i only have 31 GB left
how much windows 10 will take from my drive ?

Do it.
Been using it since preview and it's fine.
Though if you happen to use Buffalo N300 wireless adapter, the drivers that MS provides through Windows update don't support 5Ghz for some reason, and you would need to grab latest 8.1 drivers from MediaTek instead. Or at least that was still the case not so long ago.

Since Windows 10 came out, I've been having strange lag issues with CS:GO (the only online game I've been playing since the update, maybe some LoL as well). Almost in every match I play I get this strange lag spikes that go up to 1000ms and I've made sure to disable what I believe is all the connection and internet options that come activated by default in Windows 10 (such as P2P update, all the info deivery to Microsoft, etc). Is anybody having this kind of issues as well? I don't remember having this kind of problems before the update (though I didn't own CS:GO back then) while using Windows 8.1.

Did you at least evade the hangover with the day long black out?

it was 2 days cause the second day I had absolute 0 will to get up and respond to all my family / friend's messages either telling me happy birthday or asking where the fuck I was or how they called / rang the doorbell etc. I went out with a girl friend on thursday at 11pm and came home on friday at like 4pm and im still not sure what went down at all

im sitting on my living room with a laptop and a cup of coffee responding to all that shit now

it aint pretty but when you're this good at rocket league you get some tough shit in other aspects of life to balance it out. #blessed

It might be worth going into the Xbox app and disabling the Game DVR function in Settings. It's obviously shouldn't affect your latency but I've seen people have problems with it and CSGO.



Holy shit. That's straight up hilarious.

What...exactly is that game? I noticed it in Lashman's screenshot of top sellers. Pharmacy sim? Or.

Yeah, pretty much just a pharmacy sim where you try to make profits while at the same time trying to cure or ail different diseases and such. It's real fun in my opinion.

I haven't updated to win10 and I can't give a good excuse for why I havent >_>
I hear left and right of friends who can't use this program and can't properly play that game. So I just wait until most of the bugs are eradicated like the kingdom of Burgundy and all important programs are compatible.

Nice giveaway. Since I'm pretty sure I haven't given away anything since the last time I got something from Modbot, I guess I'll finally give away this copy of Ori I got during the pricing glitch. I meant to do something with it a while ago, and I just never got around to it.

Capcpom offering Konami some lessons in how to stumble like a drunk.

Funny thing is, Konami ships like one game every 5 years, and than we have:

-missing DLC codes
-errors on spelling a word on the bionic arm
-can't provide the number of CE copies they originally stated to retailers, so a lot of orders got canceled
-microtransactions (well, this is a choice, but I'd like to put it here)

Hmm, so yesterday, I gave away Portal 2, that I got as a gift for pre-ordering the Steam controller. fertygo won it but the link that I sent to ModBot is apparently broke. Is there a way to give him a code instead?

I get promoted on Tuesday, thus pretty much locking me into a full career in the military. To celebrate, here's this game people have been talking about. Enjoy!
Edit: It's Phantom Pain with the GZ preorder. Picture is wrong once again for my giveaways.

Glad I cancelled my PS4 CE, after watching the unboxing. Damn thing is a joke. I'll be fine with just the PC version.

Didn't know you were military as well. Congrats.

To wrap it all up:

An engraving on the most important item of the CE is misspelled.

There are big supply shortages regarding the CE, resulting in dozens of cancelled orders.

The CE's that ship do so without the DLC codes that are supposed to be in there.

The retail ships with nothing but a 8 mb steaminstall.exe on dics

No preload for the steamversion

Nobody was able to properly communicate the nonexistence of a preload, as well as no one was able to communicate anything properly regarding releasetime or microtransactions.

Did i miss aynthing? What a disaster.
