Refunds take a bit to process, and it shows up in your library until it's finished. You can theoretically exclude yourself from refund availability by playing it too long after submitting a refund if Steam is tracking your time.

Nah, I already got my money back. It said "Purchase" when I viewed it on my library which is why I wanted to try it out. Seems like a big oversight with DRM-Free games on Steam

Finally started playing that Hollow Knight I won a few weeks back.

Two hours in, this is great. Really great. If it keeps up it's definitely going to be on my GOTY list. The atmosphere, the music, the crunchy and satisfying combat, and most of all the sense of exploration, so good.

Got to the third and probably last boss of the DS3 DLC, tho taking a break for now.

Overall the DLC is 10000x better than the other DS3 garbage tier one, tho it still doesn't quite capture all the stuff i like about the franchise. But maybe i'm also just too used to it now.

Anywho, definitely worth a buy, even if you've been disappointed by the last one.
Click to expand...

I feel like the new DLC
relied too heavy on enemies with infinite range constantly targeting you. (Angels, Judicators and Turtle Priests)
Never quite got that feel of exploring you get with the full games, as these areas go after you so aggressive.
Bosses were mostly good and it's definitely lot better experience than Ashes of Ariandel, even as veteran it gave me quite a challenge.

They have unbanned people before.

I'd say chances are that you might get unbanned if its only reShade you had on, and you get a good support member on the case. Afaik they have unbanned people that have had CheatEngine on in some cases so they can see what triggered the VAC.
Click to expand...

I hope it works out for me then. But I have a feeling this is just gonna get buried and that'll be it. I don't know how VAC actually works but it sounds like it's not very flexible in terms of detecting what actually is being tempered with. Oh well. Sucks for me, I guess.

I guess you could replace

Code: 
modBotSelfPosts = $("a[href='member.php?u=253996']")

with

Code: 
modBotSelfPosts = $("a[href='member.php?u=253996'], a[href='member.php?u=292861']")

I guess you could allow all posts too and then it would work everywhere. I find it very unlikely that there'd be too many false positives.

I've refunded a few things and they don't even show up in my library at all once I get the money back, even if it was installed, it just vanishes from my list suddenly. I don't remember what each of them were but some were surely DRM free since I mostly refunded things I bought and then a bundle popped up the next day or something like that.

I suspect Steam hiccupped and just didn't process everything correctly/right away.

I'm sitting here in BPM with my Dual Shock 4 and has started up Rain World. Unfortunately I can't seem to navigate anything as the button presses aren't registered. I went into controller configuration and chose the recommended "Gamepad with camera controls" and applied it. I also went to controller options and the "use steam configuration for non-steam controllers" is already applied.

Hmm..

Beta turned me off a bit unfortunately. I like this genre though but it seemed very much unoptimized. They might have taken care of that somewhat with the latest update though.

I feel like the first and third boss have a bit more HP than they should've. Even with heavy attacks of a big sword you can cut away at them for quite some time.

I definitely agree with you on the ranged enemy spam, at least in the first area. Felt like i had to speedrun that part.

The ones in the second area i found a lot more bearable because it was only a short segment.

I hate Big Picture Mode sometimes cause I don't have a keyboard available at my tv. And just like now it won't load the user interface or a game will be running in the background that I can't get access to or close down. And then I'm force to restart Steam every time. Feels extremely clunky.

Anyone to resolve it? I have it setup as an Xbox 360 layout
Click to expand...
Not sure.
Do you use it? The desktop profile that is. If you don't, I guess you could probably null all the mappings and save it as your own custom config.

Maybe there's a better way, but I don't know it.

They're definitely kind of "endurance" bosses,
takes lot of time to take them down even if you have good gear and know the patterns to chip away at their massive health pool.
Also this is a boss spoiler for you I'd guess
but there's a optional fourth boss that has even more hp and has some one-shot kill attacks, not cool fight, takes 10 minutes and if you do a mistake you're done.

Is it as bad as that section near the end of Dark Souls 2 with the water and mages casting spells from across the map? Maddening.
Click to expand...

Even pre-nerf Shrine of Amana have nothing on the
first part, second part is lot more manageable as Hektor said and they can be also pretty easily skipped if you don't want to loot them.

Click to expand...
Hmm, that's not very encouraging. I guess I'll try the demo.
