SAN ANDREAS UPDATE IS OUT, DO NOT UPDATE

It gimps the game and even removes 1080p.
That's messed up.

Somehow, Rockstar continues to find new ways to make their PC ports worse. (The resolution thing, mainly. Licensing, awful as it is, I can understand.)
After FFXIII's download, nothing surprises me anymore.

FFXIII is quite something. I don't think it will be dethroned for a looong time.

I didn't see any option to disable auto-updates for GTA SA; the only options were to increase priority or update when launching the game. Am I missing something?

Mine patched already, I'm doomed. :( Save yourselves!

Guys, I want to ask what does "This item is only purchasable in..." in steamDB means?

Does that means only people from that certain country can buy the game from Steam Store? If the teritory code is "USA" doesn't that means it is ROW?

Hmmmm... Adam Sessler as a VO? That sounds like one of my nightmares has become reality. :



At least they didn't retro lock you.



What? Why would you stick to that flaming hot piece of garbage?

I've actually never played more than the demo.

What did you like about 2? i found it...mediocre (granted i never did finish it).

I hope you enjoy it, I consider VC superior to VC2 is basically every regard, or nearly.

Everyone tells me VC2 isn't as good as the first. Which might be true but I loved it. Felt like a personaesque game with the school setting and the battles while small were fun x

One of us :), I play alot so if ya need someone for a game invite me

territorycode seems to be unused, at least in regards to any limitations.
'Purchase' refers to activation of CD Keys in this case.

Even Rockstar's handling of the situation is worse than last time. With Vice City, it made new subs for the game so those who'd bought it earlier still had the original music, but this time around the removals apply to everybody.

You can't turn off automatic updates anymore? What a load of shit.

Yeah, Valve stepped away from allowing people to skip detected updates (provided they were queued) and renamed "Do not automatically update this time" to "Only update this game when I launch it" to more accurately reflect its behaviour.

Finally sell my alien Tf2 items and have 15 bucks in the wallet. Go to purchase a game. NOPE. "An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed.
Please contact Steam Support."

Thanks Steam!!!
 
Second-hand keys are an option. 29 keys x $1.90 each = $55.10.
Forgot that was an option, thanks! Hopefully the game turns out well, really love the idea of getting back to the ideas of the first game. Hopefully they also brought back the blood stains that were removed from Black Flag for who knows why.

How does one keep the good version of SA? Mine decided to update itself even though I changed it to only update when I launch when I backed up my files. That being said, as you pointed out, I wouldn't have been safe as, when I would have tried to run the game, it would have updated itself.

I must've purchased Vice City before the songs were removed because Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" was the first one that played. Also, thanks savvy modder dudes for the Trails (dat Vice City sunrise/sunset O.O)

To keep it you would have needed to set the game to only update upon launch, back up your existing installation folder, let the game update, delete the installation folder, and then copy/paste your backup to its original location. It probably goes without saying that any further patches or cache verifications would necessitate the process being repeated (delete the updated installation folder -> restore the backed-up one).

There's only one group worthy of imitating TF2 characters. I trust all of us know who they are.

It's unfortunate that Blizzard has wrapped around from innovator to follower... what a shame.

Just a heads up fellow Dragon lovers...

DRAGON THE GAME which just launched today on Early Access, will receive an update in a week...

What this means is that DRAGON THE GAME will grow from a hatchling into a beast by the time of full release.

Dunno, people from JP regions are complaining on Steam forum that they can't get the game.

Oh, yeah, didn't notice the lack of a yen price.

I want to tell them that they can get the key elsewhere, but I'm not really sure they can redeem it. That means, GMG keys should work for them right?

Yes. Steam gift copies, too, regardless of region.

Can someone tell me if it's fine to re-arrange the order of ModBot giveaway codes within the quoted text?

It's fine. ModBot searches the thread for a given MB code and edits it out using [s], so the order doesn't matter.

YEAH! You understand.

Though their patch schedule seems very... optimistic.
Wait.
Blizzard is working on a TF2 clone?

It's Overstrike ...wait Sunset Overdrive ...nope Fuse ...uhh... Overwatch, a team-based 6v6 multiplayer shooter with BARRELS OF PERSONALITY!

It is in no way related to Fortnight, Battleborn, or the litany of other team-based multiplayer FPSes. Especially Battlefield Heroes.

Haha, truth be told I entered the thread thinking it was an old Overstrike thread. I didn't realise I was wrong until I read the time of the OP.

So you could say that soon, it will be Dragon aged.
 
Did rockstar add securom with the update?

Other Requirements: Software installations required including DirectX and Sony DADC SecuROM

I saw that on the system specs section.
