I believe this is what you want: https://www.reddit.com/r/software/comments/1kzz1q/mpcbe_with_madvr_better_upscaling_quality_than/

This seems familiar, thanks.

Are there any cheaper alternatives for the Witcher 3 expansion pass on Steam?

Valve Explains Why Steam Customer Service Is Still Terrible by Kotaku

“We’ve hired a couple different companies [to help with support],” said Johnson. “The thing that’s interesting is, you go out to third-party support providers, and—at least in our experience—most of them wanted to sell you ways to reduce the number of people currently waiting in support, but they weren’t very good at selling you ways to solve customer support issues. I think we’ve all had that experience of, ‘I get it. You’re trying to get me off the line.’ We’re not super interested in providing crappy support in volume.”

haven't i read this before

 

[corrosivefrost]

So I was about to go grab a Steam controller after reading Dr. Dogg's earlier write up... sounded interesting enough to throw $50 at, figuring I could resell it if I don't like it.

Then I learned that in order to use the Steam controller you have to launch a game from BPM?

Yeah, no sale on that, Valve.
If I'm waiting for you to give me the option to disable that mode completely, I don't want it to hold me hostage before I can use your controller. Get fucked.

Why would of force BPM? That's so arbitrary.

From the Steam Controller thread, you used to be able to run it on Windows 98, and even older, but now it does require Steam. I wonder if that can be nodded out, since the functionality to run without Steam is there.

Just crappy support to a few people at a time instead

At least Steam's BPM button is smaller than before. I've been trapped in it for minutes and it's terrible.

I mean, assuming their current support people are "trained by Valve to an acceptable level," or whatever, their rule of thumb is to ignore everything and give you a boilerplate reply. So, if your issue is not exactly covered in their support categories you're basically screwed.

And this is how it's always been.

 

[Turfster]

So apparently, EA had another account leak?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I honestly believe that games like this existing is thanks to Legend of Grimrock blazing that trail.

You believe correctly, just ask Ubi!

 

[iosefe]

So apparently, EA had another account leak?

Oh no. Someone will steal all my free games

Edit: oh no, my SWTOR account!

I hope I'm safe

Yes, you're right.

 

[Hero Prinny]

If you are talking to me, yes. I even stole some good sprite work for Prinny. Though I was sloppy with arranging it.

Apparently, according to dogg, if you need xinput mapping so you get analog/buttons, that's done by steam through BPM -- I first noticed this in chubigan's guide for using the steam controller with CSD... one of the steps is to make sure you launch CSD from BPM.

So I asked dogg about it... and here's his response:

5:31 PM - Dogg: Outside of BPM it gets reconised as a keyboard and mouse so providing that's the scheme you have set up and you have made some binding already you don't even need BPM.
5:32 PM - Dogg: But if you want analog movement or xinput handlers for buttons you're going to need to use BPM

Happy Weekend!

Nobody took Paranormal Spring? C'mon, SteamGAF...I know you don't all have it. And sure, it's not Artifex Mundi-level hidden object quality. But it's campy fun - at some points straight-up unintentional belly laughs - and the puzzles aren't too bad. A few uncanny valley faces to get past, but just chalk that up to mild horror elements.

Thanks for the giveaway once again, TSI.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Just learned that you can specify regilding in Clicker Heroes and not have it be random... once again, another game changer. Hello super-powerful Samurai.

 

[Lomax]

My impression from the thread is you have to use BPM for configuring it, but after you have it set up if you launch a game without BPM it works fine. I also have the impression you have to be in the Steam Beta to even get a client that works right with it, so it's clear that this "first wave" soft launch is still basically still the end of the beta test (to no one's surprise). I'm sure by the main release in November they will have ironed out a lot of this.

On the note brought up yesterday, it sounds like games that are designed for dual analog work fine if you just configure the touch pad correctly (and people say the one analog stick is really good). It even sounds like games that properly support both controllers and kb/m at the same time allows for some really nice hybrid setups. So I'm back to leaning towards getting one.

I got this... PM if you're interested.

Mine is at home on a box on my porch... but that is certainly disappointing news.

I think the only things I bought were Garden Warfare and Battlefield 3

sooooo nothing of value?

I don't know what account I change my password more for, but Origin's sure as fuck up there.

 

[fantomena]

Wait? BPM is required for the Steam controller?

Lol, fuck off Valve.

 

[dex3108]

Aussies get behind proposal to change currency to dollarydoos

Real question is will Steam support it XD

 

[Chance Hale]

Having to completely re-install windows, OS drive seems to be dead dead. What is this life ;-;

Wish I could go buy a steam controller from gamestop now, sigh. Although of course at the moment I wouldn't be able to use it >_>

 

[ashecitism]

The controller requiring BPM to be configured was known for months. Smh, you guys. It still works without it. And once you configure it, you can just minimize Steam next time.

Wait? BPM is required for the Steam controller?

Lol, fuck off Valve.

only to setup bindings

Okay, all done.

Many Steamgaffers have common rpgmaker sprites. But some have unique ones.

This is Winter Demons.

This is going to be the jankiest game.

You may consider that also can leak account for other site if your scheming is same-ish

Neat.

And to avoid this post being a one-word shitpost, if I have the original Metro 2033, still haven't played it, is it worth it to get the redux for 5 bucks anyway?

I'm seeing Mario Maker now, is that correct? I think I'm too late considering your post was two hours ago.

Neat.

Yes. It's mechanically a much better playing game than the original release and also runs better.
