Just set this up and CPU usage is better at VLC with livestreamer. Both are running the same stream at source quality. There are spikes here and there at both but VLC had generally lower usage.
I know, web browser does a lot more besides just working the stream but here a screen I took with all same in the browser, I just closed the stream.
Watching streams in a media player is truly a lot more flexible. Can resize window to my desire and put it all over the screen. Really useful.
But it's a super-huge hassle to type in cmd and whatnot. Would have been so much more better if there was a way for livestreamer to auto-start once I open a Twitch-stream.
Someone built a GUI for livestreamer if you don't want to deal with cmd prompts and what not.

I wonder when will TESO get a major discount in Steam.
I wonder if we will ever see a Sunset Overdrive PC port, that game actually looked like it had some interesting and fast-paced gameplay.
It fit the criteria for Microsoft's previous temporary exclusives.

It may have performed decently enough that Microsoft locked it up for a sequel.
I'm strongly considering not getting a console this generation, so the more the merrier as far as I am concerned.

What does the new disc usage thing mean on steam downloads? Is there anything to make it faster also?
Disk usage, I would assume, has to do with how fast steam is writing to your disk. While downloading, this is probably gated by your connection speed, but I think the real numbers/function would be during unpacking once Steam finishes a download of a large game.
In theory, the only way to speed up your writing to disk operations would be to (1) get a faster hard drive or (2) get a faster cpu, where (2) would probably make less of an impact than (1).

I only ever see you complaining in here... so... maybe it's your PC or connection, eh?
Oh, and this is totally not steam related, so try to keep it on topic.
Why is this not a screensaver option for win10? The animation is awesome.
Oh, and this isn't Steam related, so try to keep on topic next time?

Insomniac isn't known for their PC prowess though. So the best we could probably hope for is that they hand off development of a possible PC port to a decent porting house given their lack of history with the platform.
I think it's like $15 on gmg. Still waiting on native controller support.
it honestly doesn't make a huge difference to me for MMOs
haven't pounced on 12 bucks TESO yet?

Argh, bugger this, I give up on Ironcast >_<
Shame, I like the gameplay but not the roguelike permadeath aspect at all.
Obviously, there are similarities in this to Puzzle Quest, can anyone recommend them or tell me anything about that series?

Nah, it's definitely an issue with Galaxy.
Maybe you don't see more people complaining about it in here because it's off-topic

Quite possibly, but now look what you've done! We're off topic again. >_<

Replying to my post doesn't help now, does it? I would've interpreted your silence as an admission that I'm right and the off-topic would've ended right there.

Nah i got it on ps4
It's coming back when the store updates for today. The build has already been updated, I think they're just waiting for the new day to get it back to the New Releases list or something. They posted an announcement on the store page about it.

Thanks for the heads up.
Updated version here.
The version number in the startup images and such is still for the previous version because I currently don't have any of image tools installed. But the downloads page is good now as far as I can see.

I wonder if I should post my ghetto fabulous PC 'desk' in the Show Off Your Gaming Setup thread?
I probably will do as I've got a backup of 1.02 and 1.05 if things get totally broken or bug out on me again. Must remember to back up my saves this time though.
Yeah communication hasn't been handled brilliantly. I'm fine with radio silence unless there's anything of note to be fair. I've got faith in CDPR to actually fix it but I think they bit off way, way, way more than they could chew with the scope of The Witcher III. It seems like every time they fix some bugs from a previous build they introduce a whole lot more new ones. But hey that's game development for you but I'd rather have smaller but more frequent updates than gargantuan patches with lots of fixes. I'm sure they'll get there eventually when it's a ok for 95-99% of people but it's by far and away the buggiest game I've played in a long time. Still a great game though, hence why I put in 70+ hours but it's taken the shine off a little I must say.
Is there anywhere with a list of stuff that's a bit iffy?
VLC? Why Veggie, why?
Somewhere Jawmuncher has fainted.
I'd be down for that... in 2 months time when I've finally redownloaded it again :/

If you feel that $1 per game is too good to pass up, then go ahead. Otherwise, no.

True ghetto is you using white theme!
Haha, rest assured. I am using MP-HC as main. VLC is recommended for livestreamer since it supports all stream types that's why I chose it.VLC? Why Veggie, why?
I dislike VLC too

It's not about it being too good to pass up. It's about winning the game.

As far as I'm aware, no. If it had a physical version, you can try your luck on eBay.
I see. In that case I'll do a bit more research and form a better opinion.

That's ghetto as fuck, I remember doing that during home renovations, just throw a few things on top of some boxes and hook it all up for a few hours. Good times.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

There are reports of issues with certain sidequests but I played through the final stretch of the main story yesterday and didn't have any issues. I don't think there's a reason to wait for a patch to play that specific part of the game.

I actually figured out how to win. S'all good.
Would you look at that. It is 5! I'm winning even more now!
Shame about the timed exclusivity.
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of Warlords is one of the best games ever, truly it is, I can't recommend any game more than this as it is indefinitely accessible, the story is pretty standard fantasy but gameplay is great, it's strategic it makes you plan way ahead, using skills also, it has trainable mounts!, castle building (pretty simple), sieges of sorts, and in general is just too great to describe.
Also play on hard, keeping in mind that playing on hard it is about 40-60 hours long, depends how you go about it, also you can extend that time by a lot just fighting random enemies or bosses or crafting.
Looks good, though death's gambit looks more intresting for me and this is a ps4 and psvita timed exclusive so I guess it will also come out after death's gambit on pc.
