Anyone getting framedrops when going into other areas? Past the moldy door, up into the attic, into the kitchen...

Is the framerate setting on 60fps? If it's on "variable", you'll get drops. I'm on a 1060.

Also I read that HBAO kills the framerate more than usual.

I've gone into the attic
(and the upstairs part of that)
and the kitchen

have had some drops but that hasn't caused any stuttering or anything for me...try turning the AO to SSAO instead of HBAO+ (if you haven't already)...the latrter is a major performance tank at higher resolutions

check back tomorrow when the SE gift bundle is revealed

Hmm you know I could get that as a gift for my cousin. He just made a Steam account and even Just Cause 2 would be a decent game to have on his GTX 840M laptop.
edit: aww the purchase period ended.

I seemed to be getting tearing, which was weird because it was running at 100+ fps with gsync.

Thanks! I'll try this. I'm talking about the RE7 demo for those who don't know. I actually posted this on the wrong thread, meant to do so on the official one over in Gaming ^^

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.
Xbox is getting a winter sale with daily deals.

Steam pls

Last winter (or this summer) when i saw that Batman AK was cheaper on PSN than it was on Steam i realized that Steam Sales are dead XD

There have actually been a number of instances where this has been the case, especially for Xbox Live Gold / PS+ member pricing in the console-space.

What I find interesting is when publishers don't even bother to discount their games as much on Steam as they do on other sites such as GMG or Bundlestars.

Shadow Complex is still one of my favorite games ever. And punching people is like... what I do.

When they removed mini-games Steam sale stopped being an event. Maybe they earn more money now (not necessarily because they changed sale format but because there are more members) but it is not that special event like it was before.

Got the
Infected
Ending in the demo.
Never got to use my 5-round chambered handgun.

The camera wobble gets taking used to. I think Outlast had it to, and I beelined that in a few days.

The minigames kept me engaged through most of the previous sales, I hope they bring them back. Otherwise I'll probably just check my queue 3 times a day and be done with it.

Adventure Time Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW has been removed. This was WayForward's 2nd Adventure Time game. It is still on sale on GameStop.com. No copies on Shady Key Website 1, but there is a single copy on Shady Key Website 2. It was published by D3Publisher

Two other Adventure Time games have external licensors:
Adventure Time Finn and Jake Investigations (has not received a recent discount, $14.99)
Adventure Time Secret of the Nameless Kingdom (reduced from $20 to $3 recently and 50% discounted around the same time, so $1.49).

I suspect Secret of the Nameless Kingdom will be delisted soon.

Finn and Jake's Epic Quest and Magic Man's Head Games are both internally published by Cartoon Network Games and are probably safe.

Personally I'm not missing dailies all that much.
"Wait for the dailies!" was nice the first few times and impulse buy stuff, but in cases where I knew I wanted to buy this game... yeah not as much. Nothing as annoying as waiting for a daily deal on a game you want for sure and then that game not getting a deal at all. Could have bought that thing 2 weeks earlier for the same price when I actually had time to play it.

I wonder if they even care anymore at valve.

Damn it! It was the one Adventure Time game I wasn't expecting to be pulled. Never had a decent sale either. :(
 
My DS4 stopped working on PC for some reason. Was just working fine this morning and now when I plug it in just get one blinking orange light (using DS4windows). Tried uninstall/reinstalling drivers nothing, rebooting, different USB port. Controller works fine on PS4. Tried a different USB wire as well...same thing...any ideas?

It helped me to remember to buy things I wanted, heh. Also gave some more excitement to the sale. Though it seems like the sales of games didn't go down, so they'll be sticking with this model, sadly.

DS4windows don't care. I ended up switching to inputmapper, which isn't perfect either. But so far it's been much less of a hassle.

Fuck, the only one that I didn't buy. Is it possible to buy stuff from GS outside of US? Or would someone be able to get it for me? Would pay extra.

So played the RE7 demo and I quite liked it, I'm not really a fan of horror games such as Outlast since I don't really get scared but I did appreciate the atmosphere in RE7 and that it had that goofy RE charm. It was cliche in all it's "spooky" stuff but I am a sucker for going around an enviroment looking and collecting stuff.XD
