Does anyone know what the deal is with Steam not wanting to download game updates? I have like 10 games that say they need an update but they just don't download. Couldn't find anything online that worked.

Silly question sorry but have you clicked the little arrow to the right of the game list in the downloads window?

I had this problem when I moved a bunch of games to a new harddrive. Steam was still looking in the old space but couldn't find the files to update, so it just did nothing. I had to tell it to delete local files, then install it to the directory where it REALLY was, then Steam saw the files and worked fine.

I can't even get the games to download automatically, so they don't actually make it to the download page.

Hm, I refreshed my Steam files recently, I'll try doing that to a game to see if it works.

Have fun with TF2 guys, I won't be joining you. I'm retired, and playing it again even just once would be like buying a beer for a former alcoholic.

Giving stuff away is fun, although some people are super rich apparently giving away tons of new stuff (edit: which is awesome)

Hardline probably just got delayed because they didn't think they were up to competing with other big shooters of this fall. Destiny, Evolve, Halo collection, CoD... So many big and hyped titles and Hardline always was a B-team effort no matter how you slice it.

Good. It looks like they actually learned from the BF4 experience.

I actually am surprised.
But I guess that time frame still fits into the fiscal year so it won't impact them too much.
Guess EA is banking on sports games this holiday and the sims.

So there was a Sanic thread. I'm surprised it made that long before being locked.



How else would EA keep up the value of its IPs?

It actually does surprise me they're not putting something out directly against cod but good for them. Maybe there's hope for the netcode yet

Honestly, i am surprised. I thought they were gonna release it like that.

Might be good news i guess. The beta was okay but was too similar to BF3/4 for me.

Pudge said:
I really liked what I played of the beta, but it was still rough around the edges, so I'm glad they're taking their time. Lord knows we don't need another big release during the holiday rush.
Click to expand...

honestly - I'm glad too ... when I played the beta - that game was a GIANT clusterfuck (even worse than BF4 with 64 players) ... at that point it was pretty much totally random ... and not fun either (not for me, at least) ... no to mention it having pretty much NOTHING to do with actual cops and robbers, I mean come on - police using rocket launchers? robbers destroying half a city to get away with $500k in cash? meh

It was 25% off on GMG awhile back, but i'm pretty sure now its the 25 or nuveem if you're in the right region.

Was about to download Team Fortress 2 for the match later.
It says "low violence version". How do I get uncensored versions for FreeToPlay games?

It's not like the violence adds much to TF2.
Personally I feel it takes away from the games style more than anything.

It's not like the case with L4D where whacking at zombies that stay complete when they're killed.
Which is just odd.

Caius, you asshole. He let in 3 Dark Brotherhood guys in a row. Lock your damn door.


No, don't do it.
Everyone knows my stance on that. So don't try to send one my way

We need a rule that if you get gifted bad rats and don't own it and don't accept it to your library stump perma bans you
