Apparently Wolfenstein keeps crashing when I have either Chrome or Opera open in the background.o_O Well I did manage to play for a hour and can already say that I LOVE THIS GAME! It looks great, the story or at least the "acting" was alot better than I expected and most importantly it feels awesome to shoot Nazis.

Blink Bundle knows what's up, they just straight up say CARDS on every game that has them, almost like they know why some people buy their bundles.

how easy is it to setup a ps4 controller anyway? I know they never released official drivers (didnt they say they would? liars!) but Ive been wanting to set it up mostly for fighters, as I cba using my giant fightstick at my desk (and to be honest, I dont even like it much, especially for anything that isnt SF4...I guess ill always be a pad player at heart)

Very easy. Click this.

I'm still waiting for Red Dead Redemption :(

I thought that was coming at one point too.

For some reason ES in Chrome won't show me green boxes, only in Firefox and I hate using Firefox.

I have cleared cache, activated, deactivated and reintalled the extension. No luck so far.

i like to do every hour on a 3hour one. I never use 24hours and 15 isnt enough time to repost, unless it was on the bottom of the page

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.

In the most current version (6.4) I had to move away from the API and back to page scraping for a few things. Unfortunately, this breaks functionality currently if your profile isn't public, so that might be the issue. Working on a fix for the next version.

Fuck GetGamesGo. Just fuck'em. For some fucked up reason I can't buy stuff from them with PayPal, but I can with my VISA. But the games I bought (Gothic 2 & 3) has invalid Steam codes.

Fuck'em hard.

My steam program has been acting all weird and telling me access denied when trying to access anything in the Steam Community today including the Market or my activity. I have no clue what is going on right now and kinda worried about it. Does anyone have any experience with this that could help me out?

It shouldn't require a new stop/start. I unplug and replug it in all the time and it just works. Maybe it's different with BT.
Click to expand...

Yeah probably. However,I just made a new discovery so now I can just unplug/plug back in and it stills works without having to start/stop it again.

That's a lie. If he installs the SCP DS3 service, it's a one time only setup and then he can use both his DS3s and DS4s. :p
Click to expand...

Why would you want to use a DS3? Those sticks/triggers suck. Anyways I figured out a solution to my problem as I have stated above.

The trick with the cards is not to buy them, but to let them offset your purchase.

So if you buy a $5 game, getting 20% of its value back in cards is really good.

I wonder how much it would cost to just buy the cards on the market instead.
Click to expand...

It would probably be a little less than the bundle, maybe a dollar/half a dollar or so, considering how many games you're getting for $4.99 and how the cards for said games are probably dropping slightly. Though you might get lucky and get a foil, and it might be a bit cheaper to get the cards if you plan on getting of the badges for those games.

yep, i made $10 selling cards last week. 15 cents can add up fast, especially if you use enhanced steam's sort by highest drop value

So I can now get 50ish-FPS on Witcher 2 maxed w/ Ubersampling.

I think I'm ready for Witcher 3....
sans whatever crazy sampling they come up with

Why wouldn't I? With real triggers, it's my favorite controller.
My DS4, for whatever reason, has a sticky R1 (manufacturing defect it seems, i press it down and it gets stuck and won't pop back up. I keep hoping it will just clear up if I use it enough...) and I can honestly say I don't like the R2/L2 as much as I like the DS3 with the real triggers. Sticks is a push for me. And there's something more comfortable with a DS3 to me.

But the better point here is "want to do 2 player local co-op? Have multiple DS3s and 1 DS4? Now you can!" Not that you could with the DS4 tool branches anyway, from what I understand.

Tried using a different browser? Also, google the issue - I'm 99% sure there's an answer out there. I had the same issue once a looong time ago but I can't remember how I fixed it anymore :L

I know DS4Windows made it so DS3 SCP and DS4 drivers don't have a problem with one another. I don't know if the forks of it kept that, but it seemed like a simple fix for the dev.

I was fiddling around about a month or two back and at 2560x1440 with 2 780s I can get 90-110 fps in gameplay but cutscenes that use bokeh DoF still batter me down to 40ish at times. I posted a link to Bart Wronski's blog about how it's implemented in The Witcher 2 but is stupendously demanding still.

Wouldn't they have a problem inherently because SCP DS3 uses the custom BT driver for your dongle and these new DS4 branches don't?

It depends.

If you sell a .20 card, which many, many games have, that's 1/5 of a dollar right there.

Just letting a game run in the background while you sleep is worth at least 50 cents.
Click to expand...

I'm kinda cheating with letting the games run in the background as I'm using Steam Achievement Manager due to me being nearly at data cap for the month.

I feel like trying Ys 1 (and also like playing more Guild Wars 2, but I won't!). What's the best control scheme, keyboard or Xbox gamepad?

It's like a really pretty spreadsheet.

Hard sort of game to sell, its full of depth but a lot of it also comes down to the player. See I'm a baseball stat nerd so sifting through 10 pages of stats to find a hidden gem appeals to me.
