What aspect of it? I´m not a fan of some things in the UI, but in terms of performance I would never go back to win7. Never had any problems so far.

Why was DOA5 only announced for PS4/Xbone? do they really hate PC THIS much?that really makes me a sad panda ... I genuinely love those games ...

IIRC Namco-Bandai once said its totally easy to make nude mods for DoA, thats why it isnt on PC. But thats already a few years ago when they said it.
The reason I guess is: "PC? What is that?"

Wait, hold up. I am playing carol and I didn't know that. How can you perform mega jumps off plates? I tried double jumping off them.
So hard wiring both my desktops would be a good idea? (both in my apartment, maybe 15 feet apart, router is halfway between.

Yes, but just the host should be fine. I did it with a wired host and a wireless client and it worked wonders. Didn't notice any lag at all.

You still use 8.0? 8.1 and the update fixed most issues I had and there is a lot of small stuff I'd miss using 7, it's just overall superior.
thank you, I will give this a shot.
(the host is windows 8 and the client is a mac mini would this be causing any problem?)

That feel when getting AMD Gold for 15$
Yeah, I know it was 0.99$, but it's still a pretty damn good deal
Where are people getting these?

I wouldn't think so. I believe in-home streaming works with all OS' since it's just a video signal being sent (I think)

If you can work that out then yes. Or have one be wireless and the other wired. Check out this thread for info and impressions.
Lol
There is a learning curve associated with Windows 8. For the most part, works the same as 7, just has significantly different aesthetics.
Newegg had 'clearance sale' for expiring Never Settle codes for $1 each.

And the mail program still exists, you have to (and did on your old PC) install the Windows Essentials. windows.microsoft.com/de-de/windows-live/essentials

Not at all. It works between every OS that can run Steam.
I upgraded to 8.1 some time ago already
it fixes some bugs, I'll give you that, also it is slower than 8, so not superior, no.

Slower in what regard? I never noticed anything and I don't think I've read complaints.

Ugh... hate missing that.

So it would appear that humblebundle allows you to redeem a game you already own to your own account now. That's what just happened after I bought the jumbo2 bundle and mashed buttons, I noticed it redeemed deadlight despite the fact that it's already in my library. They both show up in my licenses and subscription view as well one as Deadlight Retail and the other one as just Deadlight. I'm kind of dissapointed at this development since I can't gift the game now, some gaffer that can't spare a $ could be playing this and now he can't. I don't know which support to contact, but if it's steam support I may not bother since everything takes 3 weeks to get resolved through them.

@FloatingDivider: Sounds like an unfortunate accident, there probably are multiple subs and you had a different one than HB. It's like when JaseC buy 15 versions of a game to get the +1s.
Well Mail is the 'Modern UI' mail app, if you want to see what else is installed click on the down-arrow on the start screen. Or use the search. Also an essential trick: Win+x or right click on the start button gives you direct links to a lot of important stuff.

Most useful feature of 8 is the win+x menu. So good.
I'm actually surprised you haven't noticed, I was a little mad at you, for not telling me it's slower (><)
OTOH I'm glad getting rid of "couldn't connect to update center" bug and chaos ensuing after too much to go back to 8. So all is well.
edited: forgot to answer the actual question (><)
literally everything is little slower, booting too, not much but noticeable, at least for me.
But it doesn't use Origin
And it obviously won't survive for long, you'd have to be a fool to spend money on any MOBA that isn't Dota 2 or League (or the bulk of f2p games in general for that matter)

I'm still on the fence about Dead Rising 3. There's so much hype but I'll be pissed if it's just mediocre. Decisions, decisions....

So I didn't dream that?

See, I also didn't notice you're mad at me. Or remember that I told you to upgrade. Did I? :O I don't think 8.0 even gets updates anymore or at least the support will run out, it's always a good idea to stay current just because of that. But what is slower? The UI isn't, games aren't as far as I can tell. It should run exactly the same.
Not directly Steam related, but I thought this is really nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGU2B-_Foy8

wired is obviously preferred. Quality of wireless is going to depend on your router. I've done wired/wireless and wireless/wireless. First is preferred....2nd had slight lag

Search for it and right click -> pin to taskbar. Or 'Open file location' and create a shortcut (doesn't work for apps).
Mind blown @ Win+X
I've spent MONTHS right clicking that motherfucking win logo, and every time I lost my mouse into my secondary monitor on the left which is usually off.
Now this may also suggest that, with my mouse skills failing to even aim a static icon on my desktop, I should just quit playing CS:GO before the embarrassement becomes too big to bear.
edited previous post, but as I said everything is slower, navigating, booting, literally everything, again as I said, not by much, but I noticed it at once. Only now start getting used to it and no longer being annoyed.
Of course you told me to upgrade! you don't even remember? I'm not really mad or anything, just disappointed nobody told me, when I asked before upgrading
we already had this talk, and no, that's not the case, at least certainly not for all.
I'd gift you my PS3 copy if I could. Only played it once with some friendsWhy was DOA5 only announced for PS4/Xbone? do they really hate PC THIS much?
Completely agree with this, any time someone tries to explain to me what they dislike about it, I get an "it just sucks" type of response.

Something might be wrong with your installation.
derExperte

Nobody told you because it isn't happening to anyone else, it's really not a known problem which leads me to suspect something is wrong on your end. Are you using an SSD? Maybe it's more pronounced with a generally slower system but 8.X is known to be very snappy even on older hardware.
And I'm old, I can't remember anything.
I would agree if I haven't seen many people noticing that on different boards. People are sure clean install helps with this, but it's certainly not that much of the difference to go through the trouble. At least not in my case.

they probably don't want all the nude mods devaluing their costume DLCs

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.
Just woke up so I'm not sure if it's been posted yet, but there's a new Bundlestars bundle going on.
- Urban Trial Freestyle
- Heavy Fire: Afghanistan
- Orbital Gear
- Jet Car Stunts
- The Few
- 8BitBoy
- Dungeons: The Eye of Draconus
- Speed Kills
- Residue: Final Cut
- Freedom Fall
Or it's all opinions, taste and subjective.
I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 8 with the cheap upgrade program I bought. I used it for some weeks/motnhs, then I did go back to Win 7 because it did not work well for me.
Now i own a laptop that uses Win 8.1, better than the release version, but I still don't like it.

It's not just aesthetics when the OS suddenly uses two major UI paradigms at the same time, switching between them with no discernible pattern. Users might learn the behavior or configure it away, but there's criticism to be had that goes far beyond "waaah change" in nuance.
For example, Windows 7 had one or two points of entry for any given task, Windows 8 has double that and half of those avenues can only give you 60% of the computer's overall capability.

well ... I wouldn't necessarily call a few small scraps of cloth "costume DLC" ... their female characters are pretty much almost nude already anyway
It's technically yesterday's bundle, so if someone wants it, better get on it quickly.
