Check Windows Update for optional updates for your video card. I had that problem with Hamilton and it turns out all I needed to do was download an update for my card and restart my computer.HBroward said:

I bought it today and only played it for about 30 minutes so far but I had fun. I went through the tutorial dealie that runs through all the classes. Tried all the storm trooper variants and then bailed after I died as Mace Windu (wtf?). It's kind of last gen FPS in quality (definitely in terms of enemy AI) but if you're a Star Wars fan you will get a kick out of it. It's $2.49. Go for it. Runs great on Win7 64-bit, too.

Question: What games does the pack include for 49.99? Are you telling me the 2 portals, the 2 Left for Dead and the Half Life 2's are included?
Really? Is this part of the summer deal?

I didn't know they made a PC version of Devil May Cry 3. How well does it run and how does it look? I can't play this game on my ps2/ps3 because the graphics look horrible and pixelated on my HDTV.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the horrible DRM.
Risen; 3 machine limit. There are no regenerating activations
And no way to revoke.

Tages is the worst DRM out there. Worse than Ubisoft DRM. It's locked friends out of Stalker Clear Sky, and Riddick, with seemingly no solution (contacting TAGES, Steam, and the Developers yielded no answer). I will never buy a TAGES game.Gvaz said:
Wouldn't surprise me if, much like Securom, The Witcher 1 was VERY light in how it used Tages. I know it actively broke the game though if it detected a positive for piracy, removing NPCs or something that were essential to beating the game, which I did find amusing!Gvaz said:
However, knowing they're problematic about activations is enough to know I should just avoid them. Figures it's strong PC exclusives that seem most likely to have it though.

"My friend is in another country, can they install the game at the same time it is available to me?
Not necessarily. Steam games are tied to the region's release schedule. If another user has a later release date for their country, they will not be able to play their received gift until that time."

Riddick has regenerating activations. If anyone can confirm Risen's activations being revoked by uninstalling I'll get it.

Picked up Just Cause 2 and Empire at War. Thinking about getting Battlefront 2. Are there still a lot of servers up and people playing Battlefront 2?

Yes, for $49.99 you get every game listed here:
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7930/
It is like buying Portal 2 and getting the entire Valve back-catalog for free. So worth it if you don't have the games.

It is testing area for new weapons & updates. They try out new stuff in the Beta and some if it makes it to the official versions and some does not.2San said:You don't need to buy the game to see which games it has.For what it's worth I bought the pack yesterday and it has all those games. You even get the Team Fortress 2 Beta, no idea what it's for though.

Is Alien Breed 2 any good? Not sure if I should spend my tickets on that or the TF2 sunglasses

Wow, so it's similar to Riddick's then. Thanks for finding that. It's now on my list of games to buy on the final day.
Hold on, I read a bit more into the topic and saw this:

4 was just not as great as 3 was, and got a lot of flak for changing some of the more fundamental elements to the game I believe. However 5 tops 3 in quite a few areas, one of which being the tactical combat, which for me is a large draw of HoMM. V's biggest complaints are usually "I don't like how it looked in 3D" or "it's hard to see stuff / control the camera," neither of which really bothered me at all, so in some ways, V is the best game of the series as far as single-player gameplay goes, as it's the most evolved while keeping true to it's roots. Some people find the skill acquisition confusing as well, but they have guides/tools to show you what to pick to get the skills you want. I didn't use them myself, and generally had little trouble getting what I wanted. There's only a few instances on the higher levels where you seemingly need an over-powered ballista to win, but there's a lot of diversity in tactics thanks to the variety in skills.

Gifting games to people in other regions is by no means against the EULA. Paying someone the price of a game to gift it to you, or exchanging gifts of equal value to get around regional pricing probably is. However, catching someone doing that would be incredibly difficult to do since the exchange of money happens outside of Steam and it just looks like gifts. Admittedly if someone's doing it a lot, it'd be more obvious.
But they know where the CD keys come from. It's a lot easier for them to catch people buying CD keys from non-approved resellers then it is to catch people on a forum circumventing regional pricing. Additionally, people HAVE been caught buying CD keys from non-approved resellers and have had games deleted. To my knowledge no one's ever been caught exchanging gifts to circumvent regional pricing, although if they have please let us know so that we can take the appropriate precautions.
WTF at Test Drive Unlimited 2...
It finally downloaded, so I started it up, it popped up the launcher box, started verifying files, then in the patching window a message pops up saying "Your NAT type is Strict:UDPBlocked".
The updating freezes and doesn't go any further. It starts updating before the message appears, so I don't know why it won't complete. Any ideas GAF?
