I'm getting Steam adverts on Neogaf while browsing the Steam thread.

Yeah I guess it's the problem, but the truth is that it's the first false positive I get in a lot of years.

Avira wasn't very good for a while but the recent versions have improved a lot afaik.

Steam definitely screwed family sharing up, it de-authroized all my shares I discovered. Had to request authorization again by attempting to launch a shareable game I've already downloaded

You can disable DLC on games as of the latest beta client.

That's a really cool new feature. Most of the time I'll use DLC but if there is a preorder bonus that gives you an advantage typically I wont want that to be enabled in my game.

Also it's a good way to make downloads smaller for people with data caps who don't want all the DLC.

Switch out of the beta of you are in it, switch into the beta if you are out of it

Still no price on GRID Autosport. Hope they update that soon as well some pre-order incentives with Tiers. I'm almost sure they will do that. Perhaps the first GRID for free and some DLC with some cars.

Also, for those interested, the game will have a Free Texture Pack (I'm sorry if old, didn't check the last thread)

"Thought you'd like to know that we plan on releasing a high resolution texture pack. Due to the size of the files it doesn't quite fit on the disk so we're going to offering it up as a free download from launch day.

It's a 5gb download but will boost the car textures up to 4k resolution.

We have little dashboard reflections. In head cam you can see reflections on the windscreen, something we'd never be able to afford to do on consoles without breaking our fps performance limit. In the past we wouldn't have done features like that but now we're thinking we can do it on PC. Better lighting and things like that. Little bits in lots of places.”


This is actually really good news, GRID 2 already looked very impressive to be honest so I can't wait to see how this will look.

EDIT: It seems it may be up for pre-order on May 16th.

According to this thread, you should get a key. It might take a while, of course. The version of the game on Steam is an upgraded version.

If you read towards the end of that thread, there's described the roundabout way to get the key that's the only way to get it via Indie Royale so far.

Steps are:
- have the bundle registered with Desura
- load up the Desura client (even though you'll be going to a web page, it needs to be done through the client and not a web browser)
- go to the Gifts page, and then your Collection page
- look for the Croixleur line, then click the Keys link
- a popup should then give you the option to get your Steam key

... unless they run out of keys like they did earlier, in which case wait some more I guess. So it's way more convoluted than it should be, but still possible. Worked when I went through the steps earlier today in any case.

I'm still not able to turn off the DS4 without activating Big Picture mode!

Even when holding R1 + R2 and then the power button.

So tell me about State of Decay, SteamGAF.

I've passed on a few sales, but for some reason just got this big hankering for some solo zombie-survival sandboxing.

Did SoD (lol) port well to PC? I remember enjoying the demo on 360 way back when, but also understood that the game/code was buckling under its own weight, killing performance on the console.

Does State of Decay fare better on Steam? I know I should wait for a sale or something, but I'm feeling rarely frivolous tonight.

Thanks!

I haven't had any problems with it technically and my computer is crap, its pretty fun too for meaningless zombie killing, pick it up in the sale! (thats what I did)

Still working through my steam library. I played Archon:Classic for about an hour. It was pretty enjoyable though rather simple. Apparently it has local multiplayer so I'll have to try that out with a friend.
 
Yay thanks, dante81

Why would you refuse to play such a fantastic bit of DLC? I wouldn't want to play without devil beggars, super secret rooms, angel rooms, curse rooms and the boss challenge room.

I would buy a DLC that completely removes the goddamn Mask+Heart enemy from the game, though.
Ah I definitely intend to play it with the DLC later, but I haven't even started vanilla BoI yet. When I bought the game most people suggested keeping the DLC in my inventory instead of playing the game for the first time with it activated, and since there was no way to turn it off I decided to follow the advice.
 
I like to think the DLC disabling featuring is all thanks to Sleeping Dogs.

probably also for those who bought the saints row 3 pack before THQ just simply took out the bloodsucker pack (as it moreorless ruined the game) instead of trying to fix it at all. No idea if there was a workaround prior to this as I bought the pack after they took it out

A lot of the DLC broke the game, making it completely unbalanced in the player's favor and sucking the gameplay fun/challenge away.

Steam community section always a steaming pile of shit? First time trying to download some mods for skyrim and its taking upwards to ten minutes to load the workshop, sometimes even locking up. Rest of steam is fine.
