If you are trying to get codes, you are probably better off refreshing disney's user page than the thread.

Yes it does. I might switch back to my app version since it actually updates without needing to F5...
I tried that, didn't work.
Not just reddit.
It takes Steam a solid fucking minute to tell me the code's already been used.
Guess too many people are trying to redeem the same codes.
If it's Alien Isolation you're trying it won't work because it uses a DirectX 11 renderer and (for now) GeDoSaTo only works with games that use a DirectX 9 renderer. The OP in the GeDoSaTo thread goes over the basics of what you need to do to set it up and what you can do with it. Also if you have any questions ask the folks in there as they're quite helpful about what games do and don't work.
As long as you've added the Alien executable to the whitelist and are running GeDoSaTo, it should be fine. Emphasis on "should" as the program, by nature, isn't entirely perfect.
Edit: Ignore me because I lack the requisite knowledge of the game in question.
oh...swing and a miss then
it was only Disney Planes.
It actually shows name of first package you tried.

it was only Disney Planes.
If it includes the Cars 2 game, I think that's supposed to be a pretty solid kart racer.
can you do anything with Alien then? its quite jaggy even maxed out all to hell. Its pretty as shit, except the jaggies
Anime hair cost too much of the rendering budget. Everyone does have fabulous hair though.
If your monitor allows you to run a higher resolution that it displays through Nvidia's control pannel you could downsample it. Or if you got a 970 already there's that Dynamic Super Resolution feature so you could do the same thing. Problem is Alien Isolation has shaders and effects that are hard to get aliasing coverage unless you use something like FXAA which will effect other parts of the image too. It didn't look too bad for me at 2560x1440 but it's still noticeable sadly.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Surprisingly, the Linux client doesn't take nearly as long for me to register keys. I'm not really sure why exactly that is, but if I know I have a lot of codes to redeem (like it used to be with bundles back in the day) I'll load up a Linux VM and register my codes there. It still takes some time, but only like 2-3 seconds max.
Something to do with the shader that they used. Sitting 10 feet back from the teli certainly helps. Feel bad for strictly monitor folk as this game is gorgeous.

I think it's a little funny how Reddit gets a lot of shit from GAF overall... Unless there's free shit involved.
Yep, looks like I'll be using the good ol' tank controls for this. The constant shifts in camera angles don't work well with 3D movement, and the N64 RE2 proved it way back then.
As far as I can tell it was only Planes, even though the code person said (Disney Toy Story, Cars, and Planes Pack). Well, free is free.

I hate reddit more now than ever before.
:O oh shit
Reddit is fine as long as you keep to the right subreddits.
Wouldn't have to camp for codes if they used modbot like civilized people, so yeah.

Region locked!
Was only added 2 days ago, so that explains it. (others added were like 10 months ago).
What good Star Wars games aren't on Steam?

It should be noted that the franchise and "mega" packs are only days old, so Disney actively removed ACRTAG.

X-Wing, Tie Fighter, X-W Alliance, Rebel Assault.
Bots are probably prepared for this so it makes it even harder for us humans, doesn't it?
Or maybe it's only added (by default) to default packages created with app?

Disney should go find the recycle bin that had that nearly complete Day of the Tentacle remake.
I wouldn't think so. See: Alien, Mordor, Ryse, etc.
All of the one not on Steam of course
More serious though what derExperte said plus the Galactic Battlegrounds games and I've got a soft spot for Yoda's Stories and Indiana Jones Desktop Adventures (yeah, yeah I know not Star Wars) oh and Episode 1 Pod Racer.
How so? Bots then have to try to reedem a dozens of codes and Steam takes dozens of seconds to load a code now.
