Turn on Vertical Sync to fix the problem. Might need to turn it off and then back on if it does it again in the future.



Download MSVCR80.dll and replace the one found in the Crysis/Bin32 folder



No, you don't need it installed.

Thanks for your response, but none of that seemed to work :|

It seems that whenever I try to apply a settings change of any sort the game locks up.

 

[kennah]

Well, We got about 3 or 4 more days of sales...still holding out for Trine to be 4.99!

I feel like I should have got Armoured Princess instead of Last Remnant.

Got a pass to Shattered Horizon. It's okay. I don't feel like buying another competitive multiplayer though. So it was an easy pass.

pretty sure it's only three, the sale runs through Sunday so that means Friday, Saturday and Sunday

and possibly a mid-week deal starting Tuesday but that would be after the sale ends

 

[eznark]

Yup, Shattered Horizon is fucking rad

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Thanks.

Ill learn to deal with it. Its not an issue right now but as this list grows, I think I might have issues.

Why? I have tons of games and it's not a problem... It's alphabetical.


I have one question, did peggle extreme delete off of anyone else's list? I don't see it on my game list anymore...

 

[bengraven]

Anyone know how to turn on Vsync for Gothic 3? The tearing is heartbreaking.

RivaTuner + D3DOverrider.

Sounds like a lot of work.

This thread says something about using a swap file. Hm.

Using Windows 7 ?

starting to second guess the sf4 purchase with super right around the corner...sh and medieval 2 for now.

edit: quick google says that its not out until spring. $10 seems alright then to play it now

 

[JdFoX187]

Well, outside of Batman: Arkham Asylum dropping below $20, which I doubt it, I think I'm done with this sale. Steam has raped my wallet. But, I've probably bought so many games that I'll never get around to playing all of them.

 

[epmode]

If I own Multiwinia, is there any point to buying Darwinia?

They're very different games. One is very single-player, the other is a multiplayer-focused game with a few AI skirmishes if you don't want to play online.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

Yeah, it is missing from mine as well. Not that I ever played it over normal Peggle or Peggle Nights, but that is strange that they would remove it.

 

[yggdrasill]

Could I get a guest pass for Shattered Horizon, please?

Shoulda bought an nVidia coupon from someone =P They all expire at the end of today though so dunno who would still be selling it.

I've got a few guest passes to Shattered...shoot me a PM if you want one (first 3 will get it).

When you purchase the paid version of a game, the free version disappears. Same with Trackmania.

 

[eznark]

Best part about Shattered Horizons? You open the game and within 15 seconds you hit the server browser. No fucking around.

More games need this type of non-opening

 

[Parham]

What is your SteamID?

 

[Proc]

alright, time to stop second guessing and go party.

grabbed sf4 and sh, let the record stand.

Empire total war just didn't impress me enough to give the series a second look. If they had the gold pack on for that price it'd be an instant buy.

Here's continued hope for a sale on borderlands!

 

[graywolf323]

I just hope Fallout 3 GOTY shows up one of these last days since I missed out on the price error :-(

 

[CrookedRain]

It's because Peggle Extreme was made free for everyone but they don't want to put it in everyone's games list. They should add a way to keep it in your uninstalled section though.

I had Shattered Horizon gifted to me and I was really impressed. There really isn't anything out there like it. I had a lot of fun playing with M.J. Doja. It's well worth the $5. I also ended up buying SF4 today.

Empire is the worst, by far, of the recent outings. Probably of all the Total War games.

There's currently no way to create your own lists. That should change once Valve releases their big UI update in the next few months.

?

Got any more info about that? Sounds like great news!

We going to be improving the games list organization as part of a larger UI update in the future.

That doesn't apply to this situation though. Peggle Extreme has completely different levels from the full version. It was removed because Peggle Extreme became free for everyone.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Eh, fuck it. I bought the Crysis pack.

Only what dLMN8R was able to find on the Steam forums. It's actual quotes from those Valve employees who work on the Steam application:

They don't exactly say if they are going to add custom lists, but:

These deals will last until 9:00 AM PST tomorrow.

16 more hours according to the front page for me.

 

[JdFoX187]

I might end up biting on Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Never cared much for the multiplayer on the Xbox 360 version, so I'd double dip n a heartbeast. It's on sale through Sunday, right?

I'm losing hope friend. I'll be disappointed beyond words if it doesn't show up.

Okay why the fuck is my credit card now being denied?! A game or two a day can't be enough to have a hold put on my account.

 

[Zozobra]

Using Windows 7 ?

Correct, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Steam download speeds are awful...

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Thought so, sadly that crashing thing when changing any settings is a Windows 7 problem Warhead and Wars work fine though. Usually when you change a setting, and it crashes, the next time you boot the setting should of saved.

 

[Volcynika]

Learn to change your server. There's a lot of other people downloading stuff too!

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Steam download speeds are awful...

Settings->Downloads->Download Region->Select another region than the one that is currently selected. You can switch between regions until you are satisfied with your download speed. You have to remember to switch it back to your region after finishing the download, since the Download Region is used for obtaining server lists and matchmaking for any game that uses Steamworks.

 

[SuperAwesome]

Run #1- DX9 1280x720 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High ~~ Overall Average FPS: 37.705

is that about right with an 8800gt, core i7 920 @ 3.7ghz, and 6gb of ram? Feels a little low...

 

[commish]

I'm losing hope friend. I'll be disappointed beyond words if it doesn't show up.

Since FO3 was a pretty big title and it's only a year old, I'm betting they'll save it for the last day.

 

[kamspy]

D3D overrider is the opposite of work.

Install it, set it, forget it. It's the closest you will ever get to downloading a GPU upgrade.

About right considering you have 4xAA. AA really kills performance in Crysis, i tend to be happy with the edge smoothing thing it has going on in High anyway.

 

[luiztfc]

The region changing never works for me. If I choose any server other than 'US-Chicago' (I'm in NE Ohio), I'll be pulling double digit KB/s.

What countries tend to yield the best results for those in the US?

I have a 12 Mbps connection, and Steam is pushing me towards the 18 Mb plan.
