Btw, peoploe, some pretty cheap prices on Gameliebe.

Dirt Autosport for 29,90€

Wait a minute... there's no such good combo as this! Are you trying to trick me? Either it's a Grid or a Dirt game. But that would be great.

Air, Metro, Pixelvision. Am I the only one who uses the default skin and stays in detailed view?

I'm like you, 100%. Default and detailed until they released something that I really like.

 

[Caerith]

A lot do, you just don't get people talking about it because it's default. I don't care to bother with skins, I don't need the upkeep of updating them for Steam updates and whatnot when it serves its purpose just fine as-is.

List view forever though.

Why list view? It seems kinda clunky to navigate vs the compactness of detailed view.

 

[Nabs]

why is the Bluetooth connection causing input lag on DS4Windows :/

Hmm? The program isn't touching Bluetooth at all. You can close it and check your controller panel and see any dropped inputs right there.

Yikes! That sounds way more convoluted than it needs to be.

Sony are a weird company when it comes to PC, Windows especially. One one hand one of their teams develops Vegas which gets a lot if plaudits but in the other they had another develop the universally hated SecuROM (well be customers at least). I think our best hope might be Android support and have that reverse engineered into better drivers but hey you never know.

Honestly, it's pretty straightforward once you find a fork that's got the features for you. The one I use has been great ever since I jumped on it.

 

[fantomena]

Got Murdered for half that price from a trader
Also you can trade for Autosport and Sniper Elite 3 for much cheaper

You can get these 3 with a gold AMD rewards card at about $25 on eBay alone. SteamTrades got some too.

U know, but thought about people who does not want to use traders and Putin.

Edit: Murdered from Russia is region locked.

Wait both those games are being offered for 30 Euros together?

 

[fantomena]

No, each.

It's mostly for people who can't wait for a sale on them.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Don't get me wrong. This is not as bad as I make it sound here. The dropping of inputs happens rarely like at most once during an evening play session maybe. Most of the time I just disconnect and reconnect the controller and everything works again (though to reconnect the DS4 in "hide DS4 controller" mode you have to quite every program that uses an Xbox controller. So it takes a minute.)

The other two pograms might work fine for someone else as a lot of people use them, apparently. Also, I did only try them for a short time. Maybe there are things that I can do to make them work better. Perhaps it is my PC which is in dire need for a fresh install anyway. I could give them another try. Also, keep in mind that they are worked on currently and get a lot of support and updates which should fix a lot of the problems.

I think ideally having one driver suite that interfaced with a DS4 sounds like a more graceful option but I'm one of those clowns that runs a very light OS footprint and ally come up with missing dependencies all the time when running unofficial third party applications.

Air, Metro, Pixelvision. Am I the only one who uses the default skin and stays in detailed view?

I've used PixelVision before due to being the better skin to adjust font sizes and scaling when using high resolutions on Windows (seriously Microsoft you need to sort that shit out). Though I'm normally default skin and detail view or if I'm being really edgy just small mode!

 

[Rickenslacker]

The game tiles just look better to me and are big enough that I won't click something else on accident.

 

[Milamber]

The $25 one doesn't have any of those games listed in the picture

Oh, then I guess my Murdered, Sniper III and Thi4f from the AMD promo was a total lie then.

But according to the store page the Russian version can only be played in certain countries.

Air, Metro, Pixelvision. Am I the only one who uses the default skin and stays in detailed view?

I used to too. But detailed view looks alot better if you're using Pixelvision.

 

[Autofokus]

While I think the DS4 is an excellent PC controller, I am just not quite happy with all the different Tools that allow it to work on PC.

Currently, I am using the DS4 to XInput Mapper 1.2.2. by InhexSTER which seems to work the best for me. Though it has some stupid quirks like when you ALT+TAB to it it just vanishes from your tray icons but is still running in the background. Also, there is no more official support for it.

The DS4Windows always crashes on updating for me.

DS4Tool (with the nice GUI) just chrashes randomly for me.

For what it's worth, I used the wrapper for months and now DS4Tool (nicer gui, more features) since a few weeks without _any_ problems. I'm using it wired though.

Edit: D'oh. I'm using DS4Windows, not Tool.

the $25 auction is using this picture- http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTAwWDE2MDA=/z/VfoAAOSwFAZTuPOS/$_57.JPG

with no further description. i'm not sure how the promo works but buying that auction and expecting 2014 games seems risky

 

[Shengar]

Nowadays people complain how small or linear or corridor like an area in a game while I'm almost complaining how wide and sprawling the area in Titan Quest is.
Tell me, after Greece, what is it?

 

[Caerith]

I've used PixelVision before due to being the better skin to adjust font sizes and scaling when using high resolutions on Windows (seriously Microsoft you need to sort that shit out). Though I'm normally default skin and detail view or if I'm being really edgy just small mode!

Being able to adjust font sizes is at the top of my wishlist for the Steam client, right alongside the "pin" feature that Origin has.

Makes sense.

So I take it no way to search for what games you own that have local coop without manually clicking every game....

I like Pixelvision the best, but I really hate its Big Picture icon with the HDTV text and all. It just seems dumb.

Gaffers - is Sunless Sea worth getting? And if so, how many keys?

 

[Rhaknar]

as someone who used the amd code, I can confirm Murdered and Sniper 3 are in it, thats how I own them

Anyway, when Gone Home makes me a nervous wreck even tho I know for a fact that there are no monsters or anything, how the fuck am I supposed to play games like Amnesia or Outlast? Im such a pussy (strangely only with games, im fine with movies /shrug)

I can relate. The house did had some strange vibe that's for sure. I finished Outlast and it became less scary as I was progressing in the game. I did start with my headphones on high but I kept lowering the volume every 20 minutes because... the "DUN DUN" moments that would happen here and there.

It's a shame about the ending of that game (Outlast) which I didn't like but at least the diary pages were interesting.

It took me ages to get through the first half of Dead Space due the amount of cheap cat scares. Didn't help the sound mix is super awesome and I was using headphone. And I'm not a jumpy scary cat usually but there was certainly an adjustment period there. 3 on the other hand had an orchestral fan fare at any given moment a necromorph so much as farts and totally killed any sense of subtly or suspense.

 

[wilflare]

Which drivers are you using or have already tried for the DS4?

I'm using J2K's DS4indows
USB works great but Bluetooth lags...

hmm I'm getting input lag on games like Astebreed on bluetooth
even the controller panel lags a little.

Murdered: Soul Suspect for 14,90€ (buying now)
Dirt Autosport and Sniper Elite 3 for 29,90€
Dragon Age: Inguqisition for 39,90€

But are these the German versions and are they censored?

 

[Milamber]

It should be only the Never Settle one, I bought them 2 weeks ago.

And tags/sort-by-tags, which even I could program in with only a rudimentary knowledge of coding.

 

[Servizio]

So I take it no way to search for what games you own that have local coop without manually clicking every game....

If you search the store, like so:

http://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=2#category2=24&sort_order=ASC&page=1

And have Enhanced Steam installed, it will highlight games you own.

There are, however, 1249 results to sift through.

You should Give DS4 Xinput wrapper a try. Honestly the best thing ever to allow you to use the DS4 or DS3 on your PC.
