"Activate" is regular vsync; "Adaptive" means that vsync is temporarily disabled whenever the framerate dips. Using D3DOverrider to enable triple buffering is another option, although it can introduce noticeable input lag.
Keys ran dry and Microsoft refused to generate more due to GFWL's future (or rather the impending lack thereof).

Oh yeah I forgot about GFWL and the incredibly slow death it's going through.
Removing GFWL and implementing steamworks would solve that but knowing Microsoft it's too much work for them.

Depends on when the banwave happens
That's a question only Valve can answer in absolute as opposed to relative terms. This past week it sold enough copies to beat Civilization: Beyond Earth for the fourth spot (the list is based on revenue, not per-unit sales).
Yeah you've got it one, within a few hours you know all the mechanics. The fun can be in upgrading and getting new execution moves. They also start introducing bigger hordes of attacking enemies so you have to be on the ball with the countering, knowing how to defeat a few specific enemy types etc. Nothing mindblowing but certainly a bit more to it than given credit for.

Before, when they still did -75%, people would buy 10 copies just to smurf and cheat with. Good to see sales are still strong though

Something weird is going on with FFXIII disappearing entirely from the Steam top sellers list and not showing up here either.
Where is the source for this ? Just curious
I've always wondered that as well, but never dug into it. Do they just copy paste the top ten, or do they actually get word from Valve? The title would imply the latter, but I don't want to discount the former without formal proof.
EDIT:
There it is.

13 doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the top 10 list until Square fixes shit up. They aren't foreign to PC development and have many other studios they could've asked for help.
I'd buy it if it wasn't a turd.

It was 4th or 5th but after the game got released it fell like a rock from the top 10 list.

Let this be a lesson to developers. The quality of the port matters.
Ok so the nvidia vsync causes the apparition of some artifacts on certain surfaces. I think I will try to play without any vsync. Mind you the artifacts are present without vsync but really less apparent.
I'm talking about a store canopy that becomes all fuzzy when vsync is on and remain normal without it. Well it becomes fuzzy if you play with the zoom button but at first glance all is normal.
And thinking about it, I had the same problem of fuzzy surfaces with AC3 vsynced.

No, it disappeared entirely one day. Valve, Square, someone likely removed it or there is some kind of error. There is a precedent for this happening in the past, though no direct proof.
Yeah the complete vanishing is bizarre and honestly in some ways calls the entire list into question, if something that extreme can happen, what else is going on behind the scenes in that list? It's always seemed a bit suspect once you get down to the 50-100 slots anyway.
As much as video games seem to want to clone the movie industry, at least the movie industry publishes detailed numbers about sales. This whole idea that it should be a company secret or something is bizarre and on Steam especially seems to come out of Valve's own paranoia and habitual extreme secrecy about everything.

Really? I thought it just fell from the list. I mean it was kinda weird how fast it disappeared so that makes sense.

Just saw the title
Joke's on us, can't put a mod on ignore

It's also region-locked to that area, the ROW version can't be seen on top sellers.
i have it, but is it as simple as doing what i would do in CCC but in Radeon Pro? and what do i do with CCC?
I've been running a 3570k@4.4Ghz and a GTX 980 some days, and the only game I've tested where the CPU is a clear bottleneck on my system is Watch Dogs with Ultra settings and Ultra textures. That game seems to need threads to throw up textures when driving fast. Drops into the 30s sometimes. Other than that, it seems pretty good at the moment.

Didn't notice the title change, does this mean stump won the battle royale?
It is too early for him to take form.
i think that's kabouter's work
not sure what happened to stump, i think he's abandoned this thread so zeliard and kabouter have gone mad with power
Except it did.
He's been around, usually changing the thread title late at night.
Are Steam/Valve aware of the achievement glitch on certain (all?) games?
That if you are more than one steam-user on a computer and have the same game, the achievement unlocks for all owners of the game.
For example, my daughter just got two achievements in Monster Loves You just by starting the game. War, All Humans Dead & War, Endless Fighting

I really somebody finds a way to mod some decend hands into this.
I'm so disappointed to find out that the DayZ mod isn't worth playing anymore due to hackers. I never even got to try the variation mods like Epoch
Hm. Well I'm only at 3.4Ghz right now, so I'm sure I'd have issues. Looks like I'll have to suck it up and buy a aftermarket cooler and OC or upgrade my CPU.

I really wonder what happened to. It was the third best-selling game, then it was released and it vanished at the exact time it was released from the bestselling list.
