yacobod said:bioshock for 4.99, good deal
so far my haul for the steam holiday sale is
stalker 1.99
braid 2.49
rome total war 2.49
bioshock 4.99
im still hoping for a cheap deal on complete civ4 before its over
It's nice to get so much and barely break $10.
My only buy is Braid so far, looking for a Machinarium deal though. If it doesn't come I may just settle for the half price.

*SIGH*
This is so damn complicated. Thanks for that though. I'll try to get it to work now.
Right. My haul so far:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
TGP/BTDT Double Pack
Sniper Elite
Audiosurf
Lumines/Advanced Pack
Battlefield 2 (which I finally got to work - damn audio drivers, thanks to Azentium for his help)
Torchlight
and just now, Bioshock.
I'm slightly ahead of where I should be, if I want to pace this sale out (waiting for The Witcher)...I hope there's nothing interesting for another couple of days, or the co-owner of my PayPal account is going to kill me :lol

My friend said that he tried all of these steps + some random luck and finally got it to work.
Also another key solution is this:

This game has a great multiplayer component that could stretch out the value/enjoyment of this game.

you can play Red Faction with an offline profile just fine, I believe. it's easy as pie, and you don't need to worry about any workarounds. unless it isn't letting you create a new profile? I had one already set-up.

(I just watched Ghostbusters recently.)
So far:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
Defense Grid: The Awakening
id Superpack
Zombie Driver
Killing Floor
Burnout Paradise
Waiting to see if King's Quest or Space Quest collections hit one days before I get them, otherwise I'll probably get them on the last day.

Ok, screw this piece of shit game, Red Faction Guerrilla. If I alt-tab out during the splash movies it causes a hard lockup on my computer and if I alt-tab during the menu (to reduce the priority of the exe) the exe crashes right away. I can't even get the menu screen to work right without constant pauses every time I move the mouse slightly so I can't download the update. I can't believe that the same developers of Freespace 2 made this turd.

You guys are scaring me. Red Faction Guerilla was one of the biggest reasons I bought the THQ pack . . . I'm gonna be pissed if it doesn't work.

I used the patch tutorial on the steam forums and it worked after I had problems with GFW:Trite
Someone upped the patch files, you extract them to your red faction folder and run the game with a modified shortcut. It loads up and does it's install thing just fine. The online multiplayer was pretty bad I thought. Haven't tried the co-op yet.

Fortunately there are a lot of other good games in the pack. Frontlines didn't get much exposure, but I had a blast with it. Especially impressive is the tank mission where nukes are going off over the horizon.

It's pretty short in single player but I thoroughly enjoyed it. (It's sorta like BF1942)

I just want everything to work as it should. I payed for it, and it's really annoying that i ran into this problem.
Anyway, i got through the first part and now i've run into the problem with the binkw32.dll. I read through the threads and i saw at least 4 different responses for it (3 of which are things i already did) I'm getting really annoyed now.
What did you guys when this came up?

wow, I've had nothing but good experiences with the PC version of RF:G. It was a really great PC version.
Don't blame MS's retarded GFWL shit on the RF devs.

Don't get me wrong, i LOVED RF:G on the consoles and i thought $20 for the PC was a steal. But at this point, i just don't even feel like playing the game anymore. I just want to fix this for the sake of fixing it. But i'm just running into problem after problem with GFWL. This is exactly what i was worried about when i asked about needing GFWL to play certain games earlier in the thread. I'm really worried about whats going to happen with Fallout 3 GOTY edition once i purchase that for PC.
I'm not blaming Volition for this, but i'm more upset that it's actually happening. Thats all.

There appears to be some GFWL stuff going on in the background even when loading the game. I managed to switch it to windowed mode before it crashed and when I started it up again (with the steam overlay disabled) the GFWL overlay appeared inside the top of the window.
rez said:
I most certainly will if their dumb design/integration decisions prevent me from being able to play the game.
Wallach said:
I'm not sure either. I've got the newest version of GFWL installed. When I do manage to alt-tab out the cpu is running at 99% for the RFG exe. I managed to reduce the priority once, but it crashed right afterwards. I'm stuck in 1680 windowed mode now since it crashes each time I select video options.

Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
Works fine until it doesn't work. I tried to install RE5 today and found I can't log into GFWL at all. All my ports are forwarded correctly and it was working about a week ago when I played the free game they gave away, but today it is fubar.eznark said:
Edit: And just checked now and it is working again with no rhyme or reason.
