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.

Run #1- DX9 1280x720 AA=No AA, 64 bit test, Quality: High ~~ Overall Average FPS: 50.095

Seems right based on what you said.

Haha, I know. Need a new gpu, going to wait until the 5850 go back to the normal msrp before upgrading.

wonder if Steam is suddenly having problems with credit cards?

anyone actually had their's work just in the past 30 minutes or so?

 

[Sysgen]

If anyone missed out on the CIV IV Complete deal I have a disc version (minus Colonization) unopened for 9.99 shipped.

 

[Iadien]

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.

Iceland + Greenland gives me good speeds.

I've mainly used Iceland & Greenland, France, and Poland content servers when my local content server is giving me awful speeds. My local content server is in New York. I generally get the maximum download speed for my connection, which is about 350KB/s.

 

[wenis]

Or not. Looks like my bank declined my purchase. Ce' la vie.

that happens. its mostly errors :lol

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Crysis Maximum Edition bought!

Now I just need to actually upgrade my PC to actually play it at a commendable level!

 

[Mareg]

I've been trying 9 times in the last hour to buy Crysis pack + SF4 + Medieval II and my credit card gets declined every time. I have never had this type of problem before today.

Using Visa between.

 

[zugzug]

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

Truth, and I prebought the specifal forces edition on steam...total sadness.

Hesistant to start thinking about Napelon Total War purchase, but sadly......

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

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.

You can still download it by searching in the store for it but I don't like it no longer being on the list.

 

[brandonh83]

I haven't played much of KOTOR, but I'm a huge Star Wars fan. Would I think it's too outdated? Not that I would lose much, its $5, but I don't plan on spending a whole lot on the sale. Just trying to figure out of its worth it.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Ok. For SURE I've bought the Crysis pack. Now I'm going to have to build a gaming PC to play all the stuff I've bought. :lol

 

[Dead Prince]

woot. SFIV. <3 works great with the Madcatz SE stick.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

Help me out guys, Im pretty burnt out on FPS games, but im eyeing that crysis pack.
Shattered horizon looooks awwwwesome!!!!

and darwinia looks cool too, do any of these have steam achievments?? im kind lookin for a game like that too.

 

[Firestorm]

Visa and Mastercard think Steam is scamming us =(

Neither Crysis or Crysis Warhead is a Steamworks game, so neither of them have Steam achievements.

Shattered Horizon is a Steamworks game, but does not support Steam achievements. It is possible that they will add some later though.

Darwinia isn't a Steamworks game, but Multiwinia is a Steamworks game. Darwinia doesn't support Steam achievements, but Multiwinia supports it.

Shattered Horizon is a great game, provided there's people playing it. Hopefully this sale will attract a crowd, but when I last played it there were only a couple populated servers.

 

[K.Jack]

I ended up using Paypal for Crysis and it went smoothly. Funny, since it's based off of the same account information that's being declined.

Iceland + Greenland gives me good speeds.

I've mainly used Iceland & Greenland...

Thanks, I'll try that server.

 

[wenis]

Ok. For SURE I've bought the Crysis pack. Now I'm going to have to build a gaming PC to play all the stuff I've bought. :lol

High five dude!

 

[grandjedi6]

The problem is not the credit cards; the problem is Steam itself. The system can't handle the workload and is generating errors and false positives at random.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

i just got plants vs zombies, everything is so cheap!!!

thanks for the input. Im thinkin of buying shattered horizon for me and a friend. aaaaand maybe multiwinia. is that just an expansion?

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

High five dude!

*high fiv'd*

 

[shintoki]

It's not errors. Steam just needs a bigger bank to hold all the money we are giving them.

 

[Spy]

You know what the best part about all of this is? I haven't built my gaming PC yet.

 

[kamspy]

Shattered Horizons needs a SP version ASAP. Game is freakin cool. But I'm not very into deathmatches.

 

[Truespeed]

Visa and Mastercard think Steam is scamming us =(

If only they knew it was the other way around...

I'm not seeing STALKER in that list. Please tell me you have it installed.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

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.

Thanks for the help.

 

[Spy]

I don't have any games installed. :lol That's a newly created Steam account in preparation for the PC I'm going to build.

Should I buy STALKER.

YES!

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

ahh shit, i was just going to get one game

-shattered horizon x2(for a friend too)
-plants vs zombies
-multiwinia

 

[TheExodu5]

You know what the best part about all of this is? I haven't built my gaming PC yet.

You've made some really good choices there.

 

[zbarron]

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

Torchlight is like that too. From the moment the game opens, less than 30 seconds pass before I can control my character.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Mine failed. Then it failed a second time. Then I tried a second card and that failed. Then I tried my girlfriend's card and that failed. My first card was VISA, my second card was MasterCard, and girlfriend's was MasterCard.

I've been trying 9 times in the last hour to buy Crysis pack + SF4 + Medieval II and my credit card gets declined every time. I have never had this type of problem before today.

Using Visa between.

So it wasn't just me. I had two cards declined again and again and they both were in good standings. One was Mastercard and the other was Visa. I must have tried like 6 times between the two cards. It took a different third card (another Mastercard) for it to be finally accepted.

WTF?

 

[ATF487]

Shattered Horizon is pretty cool, but I keep getting disconnected after only a minute or two, and my computer only runs it if everything is on low :lol

 

[Scipius]

Should I buy STALKER.

Given your predilection for FPS, yes. Despite its flaws, one of the most significant FPS games of the past few years.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

I would buy stalker if it had achievments

 

[Scalpel Knight]

I've had three good credit cards declined so far, and I have to go to a party soon so these deals will probably pass me by. Argh.

 

[zoku88]

....


My god, what has this generation of console gaming brought to PC?

Yea, I had a few issues. Tried again about 30 minutes later and it worked just fine.

To borrow a good idea from a great comedian...

I'm not going to have my hands type anything else to you, because I need my whole body to hate you right now.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

shit, just bought trine too. this is going to drive me insane.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

How is STALKER's multiplayer?

 

[luiztfc]

I had to use paypal.

Well apparently the authorization system konked out there for a bit but the system's been having these problems for the last few days.

 

[Aesius]

So far I've bought Crysis Maximum Edition, Half-Life Source, Torchlight, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Prey. All for like $25.

Between this, PCSX2/Dolphin emulator, and my backlog of Xbox 360 games.....shit. I probably won't get started on the 2010 releases until 2011.

 

[Metalic Sand]

Anyone have a guest pass for Shattered Horizon? Not sure if i want to buy it...

Im thinking

Crysis pack + horizons atm.

Isnt the support for Shattered Horizon suppose to be TF2 style with continued free updates?

Welcome to my gaming life. I've been backlogged on PS2 games since the start of this generation, and it only grew worse with the newer systems. Bad note, it'll take a long time to finally get through these games in a timely manner, good note, never having to pay full price for a game release again because I'll always have something to keep me busy.
