Can't add you. It says that you don't exist or something :lol

Alt tab back out after you started up a game and hit the little button on each download twice. It should change it from 'suspended' because you started a game, to 'paused', then to 'downloading'.

Thanks :D!

Singularity, Trine, and Doom 3 got me (fucking doom.... it was cheaper to buy D3 and the expansion + get everything else, than just D3 and the expansion)

Follow the stickies in the steam Dragon Age forum. I had the exact same issue during the Christmas Sale. Thankfully after getting it working you can just copy/paste the folder for dragon age in documents and if you reinstall the game just replace and it and everything will be there.

Under downloads in game, there should be 19 items. Make sure to check the Other Campaigns tab to see if 5 entries are listed. I had the issue of Awakenings and a couple of others that were not listed.

There are a few player posts as well that should help. I don't remember which ones I looked at, at the time though.

Thanks, I got it working eventually by starting the system service (ugh) through the command line and logging in manually inside the game. As you say, there's 5 campaigns listed under "Other".

Now to decide what type of character I want to play... that'll take a while.

The people who are buying Trine today make me sad. You should have gotten the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle a few months ago!

Interesting little game, didn't play it much, but I'll have to go back to it at some point.

Is there anything notable about RE5 on PC ?

Does it look nice ?
Click to expand...

Yeah it looks great. It has the full suite of PC graphics options and pumped to the max it looks really good and playing it at 60fps is great if you have the horsepower.

So my Steam was acting wonky from my computer hard rebooting, I had to delete some files, and now I have to enter that email verification code for a new machine, but the email isn't coming my was from Steam. Typically it shows up within seconds, even during this sale it has on my netbook. Has anyone had this occur and is there something I can do?

What mod is that? :O

I just went through the benchmark and took about 48 pictures of the game at full settings so I'll post a link asap so you can see what the vanilla game looks like full decked out.

Well that's annoying...anyone else having issues with games downloading, and then restarting after a certain point? I had about 900MB of Dragon Age downloaded, and now it's suddenly saying I have only a few MB downloaded.

EDIT: Restarted Steam, and it's back to the correct downloaded amount now. Good.

RE5 mod is hot. But I can never find anyone to play and my laptop can only get 30-40 fps D: Still looks loads better than the 360 version though. And Capcom is weird, I'm pretty sure it was $10 during the last summer sale...

Reminder!

Gamersgate has The Ball for $6.80 for the next 8days, Steam has it at -50% off at $9.99...

The game must register on Steam.

Goddamnit. I wasn't interested in RE5 at all, until I saw those screens. You make me hope the daily deal is repeated. :/

On the last day, don't they do a 'best of' the dailies? Maybe it'll be included.

Ah that's it. I've only been a Steamer ever since last summer so I just took a guess as to which holiday sale it was lol. The game gets a lot of hate but it really is fun when playing coop.

hmm was interested in alpha protocol but think i'll just wait till it hits $3.75 or less

You know you are talking about $1.24 less than it is now? You'll probably end up spending $4.99 or more on something which you'd regret later anyway so why not get AP instead?
