Rant time:
My net will have been borked for a week now and everytime I call the ISP's call center they tell me their tech team is working on it.
...but my net is the same under 2 MBPS connection BS.
Pissing me the eff off.
Gonna visit them personally tomorrow and just ask them to send someone over and fix this.

Been stressing me out and getting on my nerves ugh.

For reference, my net is supposed to be 6 MBPS with unlimited downloads.

I wonder what triggered the Freedom Cry error. Maybe a Ubisoft weekend is coming up?

Publishers had to submit expanded currency pricing a few months ago and support for the Japanese Yen went live about 18 hours ago. Somebody just stuffed up when attaching a JPY price to Freedom Cry.

Check to see if it went through -- sometimes you receive an error despite a successful attempt at sending/confirming an offer. If the offer is indeed bugging out, give it another shot after logging in again or try using the client/browser instead (sometimes one fails yet the other works just fine). If, when using the client, you're getting the "You cannot trade with [username]" error in particular, you can fix this by exiting Steam, deleting the SSFN files in the root of the Steam folder and then logging in again -- this will set off Steam Guard but it won't impose a trading cooldown period.

Of course. ;)

Just checked, and they went through. Now it's the waiting game, because of time zones.

Just started up Crusader Kings II. Went through the tutorial, and it asked me to look at my family tree. "As you can see, your wife, parents and grandparents are all dead." Um...my wife's not dead. Is...is she aware of this? Do I need to call in Haley Joel Osment here?

Tells me underneath her portrait is a button of two rings on a blue background. And click it now to continue so you can remarry, you widower you! Um...button is a yellow background and unclickable. Because she's still alive. Trying to figure out if I can use the tutorial to have my wife assassinated so I can click that button. Nope. And I can't continue. Welp. At least there's no achievement for completing the tutorial!

The CK2 tutorial is fairly useless and if you do something it doesn't want you to do it's easy for it to become busted. One of the rare cases where watching someone else play on Youtube will teach you more than playing through the tutorial.

So, at this point, should I wait for a goty bioshock infinite? Do you think there will ever be one? I've played the base game on console, and getting it for $6 at gmg sounds sweet.

Duly noted. Not sure what I did that it didn't want me to do in order to keep my wife alive though.

Oooh sounds just like my cup of tea trash game and it's got cards too! Though looking over my contacts list only 2 people have managed over 2 hours worth of 'play' time. Hmmmmm.

I tried out the tutorial too, and also in my experience it's quite buggy, I had the same issue as you.

For all I know the misprice was only there for Japanese users.

I wish Gabe had a GAF account and popped in here from time to time. We all love knives and fast cars in here too Gabe!

Damn, now everyone is changing their prices to 2 keys :( feels really cheap when they bought it for 1 cent.

Supply and demand. If you want them to go cheaper leave the traders lumbered with them and more than likely they will drop back to a key. Well apart from the greedy ones.

For whatever reason, Paradox games all have broken tutorials because they don't update tutorials to reflect balance or mechanic changes or additions from subsequent patches or expansions.

I think we're lucky he doesn't, actually.

It's one thing when you feel God isn't watching. But to know He turned his gaze for a moment and looked away?

We'd never recover. We'd become Steamnostics.

Not yet.

I've no idea, but you might as well wait for the Redux versions to release before continuing.

It's all about the mods for the best experience.
Don't ask me which though, because I don't know.

Best in small doses. Game is actually very shallow.

The short play times, for me at least..kept me playing for a few days. Prob play it again in a few days or so.
