Hey guys, this isn't really worth a topic but I can't find an answer.


I'm having trouble with the resolution of some games. Not every game, just some games.

The problem is that when I run in 1080p, the game top-left most part of the screen is all I see, and the rest is cut off.

I can usually fix this by running in 720p, but I shouldn't have to do that I would think. PC games run in every resolution available in the game. It's clearly a problem specific to me.

I'm running Windows 8.1 with Start8. I'm running in 1080p on a TV.

Any ideas?

I have the same issue except for me when I launch certain game it auto minimizes on start up. I click on it, screen goes black for a few seconds then minimizes again. It's driving me insane.

Only fix I got is changing you desktop resolution, launching, chaning game resolution, close, change back desktop resolution, lainch game again. That or sometimes I force windowed mode via steam. It's very annoying and I have no idea why it happens

Open World is gonna win, isn't it?

I hope not

 

[Qvoth]

can't believe project zomboid didn't win... goddamit

Okay, I need to know about SRIV. Is it really that awesome? I have bought a ton of games this week but I could maybe see it jumping up my backlog. I played SR and thought it was okay. Haven't playe 2 or 3, is that a problem?

I didn't enjoy it at all. Up till now the SR series has been good, 'realistic' and a very nice experience. SRIV became a weird combination of superpowers, aliens and stupid story.

I have friends who enjoyed it.

 

[JackBauerCTU225]

Yeah, I played through the 360 version already and the DLC, loved everything about the game. Been eyeing it since it came to Steam. Ill get it at $4.99 if it doesn't hit a daily or flash, but I'm in no rush. Do want to play it again though, see what the PC version is like.

Pretty much both Ill defiantly play it again. Im also tempted to get RE4 I miss that game

It's the best of the series, but it quite a bunch of references to the earlier games. If you can, play 2 then 3 before 4

 

[Volimar]

Here we go had these lying around hopefully someone want them.

Wow, a warhammer game that's an actual strategy title?

 

[Karl2177]

Has anyone played Endless Space? What are your thoughts on it?

 

[Dragonborn]

Help me decide, GAF: Resident Evil 6 or Borderlands 2 GOTY?

Borderlands 2 but I'm biased. It's especially good for co-op

 

[MUnited83]

Help me decide, GAF: Resident Evil 6 or Borderlands 2 GOTY?

Resident Evil 6. One of the best co-op games on steam. Borderlands 2 is shite and boring.

 

[Jeremy]

You know what I would buy in a heart beat?



A Resident Evil 2 remake.

 

[Van]

Spent $100+ this week
will there be a withdraw thread?? Also i bought civ V bundle.. all dat dlc tho

 

[subtleglitch]

Yes, Goat Simulator you shall finally be mine. >D

 

[someguyinahat]

I didn't enjoy it at all. Up till now the SR series has been good,

Indeed.

and a very nice experience.

Quite so.

'realistic'

What? Did we play the same series?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Day 2 of waiting for The Last Door to go on sale for $2.50. Hope is still high since there's three days left of the sale. Ikaruga joins it now, bringing the trio of the two missing deals along with Broken Age to new levels of salt.

Capcom doesn't want your money

Yes if i remember correctly heh

Resident Evil 6!

I hope it gets playfire rewards soon.

 

[Elija2]

Borderlands 2 but I'm biased. It's especially good for co-op

Do I need friends to play co-op or can I just join up with randoms online?

Resident Evil 6. One of the best co-op games on steam. Borderlands 2 is shite and boring.

Does RE6 still have an active community?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Saint's Row 3 graduated the Saint's Row series from "GTA knockoff" to its own thing, and Saint's Row 4 continues that tradition. The series became more surreal and wacky, and it's a big part of why Saint's Row is now awesome.

Has anyone played Endless Space? What are your thoughts on it?

Super-sleek UI, really amazing presentation and production values. The combat is sort of weird, but it is still a competent 4X (though it is still no match for Master of Orion 2).

I like it and recommend it.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Should I buy Gnomoria or just try to figure out how the hell to understand DF?

Gnomoria is only like 4 bucks right now...

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Resident Evil 6!

I hope it gets playfire rewards soon.

It will tomorrow probably.

 

[Dragonborn]

Do I need friends to play co-op or can I just join up with randoms online?

It's more fun with friends but you can join randoms. If you want, add me and I'll play with you for a while.

I'm not sure about RE6

 

[super-famicom]

Has anyone played Endless Space? What are your thoughts on it?

It's not too difficult to pick up and looks really nice. It's a very relaxing game to play.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Gnomoria is only like 4 bucks right now...

It will be at least $3.99 until the 30th, so there's no harm in waiting to see if it goes any cheaper.

Day 2 of waiting for The Last Door to go on sale for $2.50. Hope is still high since there's three days left of the sale. Ikaruga joins it now, bringing the trio of the two missing deals along with Broken Age to new levels of salt.

Those 3, plus Teslagrad and goodbye deponia are the only things left I'm waiting for. The odds of them all getting flash deals is dropping every day

 

[Ampersands]

Help me decide, GAF: Resident Evil 6 or Borderlands 2 GOTY?

Resident Evil 6 for sure.

 

[Necrovex]

After reading Europa is like Total War, but without the battles, I had to buy it. My favorite parts of the Rome Total War I was the macro stuff.

Now I also own RE6. So I have to start on that when I get back from my vacation.

 

[Easton Dark]

Respectfully refuting Steam's definition of comedy for the previous community choice.

 

[wilflare]

so I guess I'll wait till the last day to get Ikaruga?

 

[kurahador]

Help me decide, GAF: Resident Evil 6 or Borderlands 2 GOTY?

RE6. Co-op is REQUIRED for Boredlands 2 to be fun.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Day 2 of waiting for The Last Door to go on sale for $2.50. Hope is still high since there's three days left of the sale. Ikaruga joins it now, bringing the trio of the two missing deals along with Broken Age to new levels of salt.

Half Minute Hero too (and Half Minute Hero 2)...
Deponia 3 too.

I wonder. Is there a list of all the community choices and flash deals? Maybe I will make a list to see what still didnt show up after losing.

 

[Dragonborn]

For you paradox fans, I'm wondering. What would be a better choice. Europa Universalis IV + Base Crusader Kings II, or just the CK2 collection? I'm interested in both but I dont know how much the dlc adds to CK

 

[Dambrosi]

Resident Evil 6 for sure.

RE6. Co-op is REQUIRED for Boredlands 2 to be fun.

Wow, That's damning with faint praise.

claptrap deserves an emmy that shit is better than anything larry david ever did

 

[Jawmuncher]

Recommendations for RE6? I approve.

Anyway played some SteamWorld Dig. Pretty fun seems like a laid back sort of game that i'll be playing on and off again.

 

[-MD-]

Help me decide, GAF: Resident Evil 6 or Borderlands 2 GOTY?

Borderlands 2 is playable.

RE6. Co-op is REQUIRED for Boredlands 2 to be fun.

Same with RE6.

 

[Beelzebubs]

So I'm currently at work DJing. How's things going. Has the new vote started yet? Steam app on my phone being crap.

 

[Dragonborn]

RE6. Co-op is REQUIRED for Boredlands 2 to be fun.

Not really. Played thorugh it entirely in SP on the Vita and I had a blast

 

[Mokoi]

Divinity II is supposed to be like a really good hidden gem right? I'm thinking about getting it.

That's because RE6 aren't available on vita.

That said, playing it on handheld makes for a different experience IMO.

 

[Fularu]

I have a hard time believing team red can win 3 days in a row /conspiracy theories

Not much to buy lately for me, I have much of the interesting stuff

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

For you paradox fans, I'm wondering. What would be a better choice. Europa Universalis IV + Base Crusader Kings II, or just the CK2 collection? I'm interested in both but I dont know how much the dlc adds to CK

the CK2 DLC adds a ton, imo

Almost all of the major expacs add new ruling styles which lead to fairly different playthroughs. Some concentrate more on the religious aspect of the era and its confrontations, others moreso on purely analyzing the culture of areas. The Viking DLC alone adds two wholly different playstyles - turtling for one of the government types while the other prefers aggressive expansion. The Merchant one has expanded overseas and trading concepts which lets you live life slightly more peacefully as a trading empire.

EUIV is pretty fucking expansive on its own though so I don't know. Buy them all.

 

[Vyse24]

Voted Sci-Fi RTS because I know the one with Skyrim is gonna win anyways.

 

[Leon Belmont]

Goat Simulator is finally mine... And we only need Ikaruga and Double Dragon Neon 75% off!

 

[crazyrabbits]

Scored the Bioshock Triple Pack for 3 TF2 keys. I think my sale purchases are complete.

Feels good - bought a good mix of DLC and major games for roughly $60 (plus $15 in previous store credit).

 

[ihateyourhat]

Thanks for Tiny Bang Story, INDIGO_CYCLOPS!

Cool! I was interested in this but just didn't have the time to look into it before the sale ran out.
