For future reference, you need to move the appmanifest_###.acf files as well. Not just the game folders.
And then maybe restart steam.
When done that way, Steam will just see that the games are installed in the other location already.

Yeah it's pretty nice especially since I consider emulation last resort kind of stuff.
High five, I need to get back to this game, kinda want to reroll the game because my party management already kinda fucked up I'm not comfy enough to go to high level mission but no low level b-team to grind either
beside that game's crack
The instability issues I've been experiencing are making it hard for me to enjoy my PC upgrade -- I can't play The Witcher 3 for more than 10-15 minutes without a sudden crash or restart. I thought I'd narrowed down the issue to the PSU (after running memtest overnight with zero errors, I noticed that the PCI-E power cable wasn't actually plugged into one of the designated PCI-E sockets and correcting this made things much worse), but I bought a new one today and while initial results were promising, it wasn't long before the game started regularly acting up again.
In hindsight I wish I'd just stuck with my 2600K for another year.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Is it just the Witcher 3? I remember Durante's article about it when it came out mentioning that it seemed unusually sensitive to CPU overclocks.
I'll be looking into that tomorrow. I still have Just Cause 3 installed, so I'll see if I can successfully muck around in that for at least half an hour or so.

Oh they will, especially kotaku, and then someone on neogaf will copy and paste their clickbait spoiler title and be like "but breh its not my title" 😉
I remember a few guys got interested in Clive Barker's Jericho and since the game was delisted from Steam people probably didnt bother to look around for sites with keys. Here I go bringing a few keys since I want to share the game and hope more people enjoy it. As usual I expect to read some impressions and hope the winners enjoy the game.

By the way, there were some errors processing your keys...

So from your post I gather that it was the
If so, hopefully mine won't have that problem. I ordered it like the 28th may or something and if it has a problem, I have no idea how much long I need to wait for the shop to send me another one.
All Norwegian shops that sells GPUs apparently have big stock-in problems with the OC-version of the Strix from what Ive heard.
Btw, what does MHz actually do with the RAM? My current 12 GB has according to GPU-Z 665, the 32 GB I ordered had 2666 I think. I tried to google, but it's very complicated, most of what I understood is speed.
Like a month ago I responded to someone commented about their 3 TB seagate breaking and that they had huge failure rates.
Well there goes mine, and I can't even get it to show up in windows or any recovery programs. Obviously knowing they had high failure rates I should have just had everything backed up and did have the most important stuff, but looking at my backups I did leave some relatively meaningful stuff on there. Sigh.

Hell yes it is. I kind of think the difficulty went through the roof and took a big dump on the player during the endgame, but aside from that it is awesome. Should get back in and see if I can finish it...

The 1080 can't even lock 60 fps in Headlander at 4K. Nvidia is such a embarrassment.
Maybe the game is shitty optimized or something?
I personally will only do 1080p with the 1080. Both because I only have a 1080p monitor and because I don't need or care about 4K.
Btw, honest question, what's the difference between using that Nvidia control panel downsampling tool thingy that gives you higher resolution and actually having a monitor with higher resolution?
Stallion Free

4K down sampled on a 1080p monitor is basically averaging the colors of 4 pixels into a single one where an actual 4K monitor physically has those 4 pixels and displays each at their own color.
He was likely being sarcastic.
Then why buy a 1080?
Downsampling renders the game at the given resolution, then downsamples the image to your monitor's resolution. You get some benefits such as cleaner IQ and textures rendered at higher resolutions.
Native 4K/1440p monitors render the game natively at that resolution. So you are pushing more pixels to your eyes and more pixel density.
Cause the 690 requires SLI in most games and I hate waiting for SLI support and once the game receives SLI supports the scaling is most times terrible. Recent example is Doom, a big game which yet has received SLI support from what I know. So in general I simply hate SLI. It has given me more annoyance than happiness.
Also, it only has 2 GB VRAM and which pretty bad. There's a lot of games that I couldn't run in 1080p or at least smooth in 1080p because of it.

Bai Qu is the Sequel to Shan Gui. Hope this time his publisher doesnt fuck him over. I actually wonder why he even needs a publisher.
Right, but there are other options that would fit your usage scenario significantly better for less money. What you're doing right now basically throws a significant chunk of money down the drain. I would recommend grabbing a 1440p monitor that fits your price range at this point, there's really no reason not to.
If you're not willing to tinker or don't have the knowledge required to use SLI, I don't recommend it. I ran SLI for years, you have to be willing to go out of your way to use it effectively.

Dandelion's such a leech. First he was firmly in last place, but then he started following me around and making ballads of every major achievement or monster I dealt with, giving him Victory Points. He was pretty soon my biggest threat.

aww man I could actually play doom in a non poopy resolution now with a 1060
I'm not him but if I have the money, I'd do it just to future proof as long as possible, sure he's not taking advantage of the extra performance with games he could easily run, but it's easier to buy a stronger card than doing a bunch of research to save some money and then having to buy another budget card again when it doesn't run the next game with good performance.

That was me.
Seagate HDDs. Not even once.
(Of course, knowing my luck, my new WDs will break in a month or so).
Worth noting that downsampling from 4K on a 1080p monitor (but only from 4K, no dice with 1440p or anything else) gets rid of most of texture shimmering/temporal aliasing.
(At least that's my experience with Tales of Zestiria).

Far Cry 3 with the Hex edit to remove the UI completely is quite immersive. With the mini map on telling you where all the loot, plants, and landmarks are, forget the enemies, it's too easy and distracting from what I intend to do moment to moment. The only things I wish I could have left on are the ammo counter and the on-screen way point. That'd be the best way to play.
oo I have this game, I think I played the demo from some where and I didn't dislike it, the atmosphere was cool, but I remember it was too short, never actually played it tho
I should play that next
I wanted the strongest card to be as much further proof as possible. I decided to skip the 900-series, it was actually kinda difficult to wait, the 2 GB VRAM was a big bottleneck.
Also, my original plan was to buy 16 GB RAM, but the 1080 was cheaper than I thought (I thought it was gonna be TITAN priced), so I could actually go with more RAM than originally planned.
I know that the 1080 is currently overkill for 1080p, but one day it won't and I want that day to be as far away as possible.
I've got a free invite going spare to the early access version (ahead of its eventual switch to f2p). Faeria's a rock solid deckbuilder with some interesting physical movement mechanics to go along with it. Worth a look if you enjoy hearthstone et al & want to see it taken in a different direction.
Send me a PM with your email address if you're interested. First come, first served

Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but is anyone else having problems signing in to Green Man Gaming? I go to do so and the "Sign In" button in not clickable, and I can't just press enter or tab over to it either.

Hmm, I think I have the solution to this. In 2007 I was having a similar issue, where after a seemingly set amount of time in demanding games the display driver would crash and get "recovered" by Windows. I changed every component and couldn't work out the issue, until I borrowed someone elses graphics card and found everything was fine. I was convinced it was the mobo, but it wasn't. Turns out it was a fault with the card, most likely to do with the soldering being dodgy.
Key point here is, I did replace the graphics card with an identical one, it was just a coincidence it had the same issue. I would recommend borrowing someone elses card that is entirely different. See what happens, preferably with something of similar power consumption. If that card also fails, I place all bets on PSU - but all of this only applies if the issue is consistent for all demanding games with the same identical issue. Otherwise it's probably just Witcher 3 going to town on an overclock or something
Just tried. Sign In button works. I just typed my details in the subsequent page and hit enter and it logged in. Not logged into GMG for almost a year, if that makes any difference
