PlayStation two\Xbox 360 controller upgrades
***Just a forewarning, I'm using some speech to text program. I injured my hand that I'm not going back through this to correct things so this may read funny.***
I have a 360 controller that's wired that I need to take apart and stand one of the D pad edges down again because it's not reading the full range of movement, and I have two PlayStation two controllers that I have adapter for one of which needs new analog sticks because my little brother chewed them up and the other one, while perfect, got me wondering if there's any aftermarket upgrades that I can get for it?
I don't mean upgrades as in cheating, and auto fire, or macro ability, I need functionality. Such as making the controller work better.
Are there any places online that still sell PlayStation two analog sticks and these upgrades if possible?

Derank after 16-2 win
Queued with GN3 friend (am also GN3) and we were up 6-0 before one of other team abandoned. We won 16-2 and he went 27-14 with 6 MVPs. Their ranks were fairly comparable to ours (they had SEM, GN2, GN2, GN3 and we had GN1, GN1, GN2, GN3, GN3).
I'm so confused. I guess you're expected to go 16-0 when they have a bot?

cannot bind server to a specific port
Hello,
I got more than one game server on my Linux system. When I try to start up more than one CSS game server, it crashes every time. But for CS:Go everything works perfect. So, this problem just belongs to CSS for some strange reason.
On my Linux console I will start the server like the following:
Please help me!
Cheers, derwunner

Could someone make sense of why cs:go sucks deliberately?
This will probably sound very butt-hurt but here goes...
I cannot for the life of me understand why Valve ignores community feedback on one of the most successful franchises out there; the cs:go game is a complete joke when it comes to so many things.
The insanely broken ban system:
Scenario 1: Player 1 stabs player 2 several times in spawn but not enough to kill. Player 1 makes even damage back but player 2 dies instantly because he's taken damage elsewhere. Player 1 gets 7day ban for ending a fight he got initiated in.
Scenario 2: You kick a player begging for a kick and you feel merciful because the game is unwinnable and you will save him time. Player 2 gets kicked and player 1 banned for kicking too many players.
Scenario 3: Player 1 gets banned for being kicked by premades too many times.
Do I even have to bring up the ridiculous encouragement for smurfing there is? or how the intended system to deal with cheaters is completely neglected by developers? or how official mm servers are worse than the public ones? or how mm rank is very misleading as it only relies on winning a game (believe it or not but a mg2 player will still lose vs novas if his team is silver equivalent) so he will derank to a fake rank. This and so much more. Are there even custom mods to cs:go? I remember hundreds from css

Don't all of engie's problems stem from the sentry?
Short circuit might be an exception, but there's nothing wrong with dispensers, teleporters, or engineers using shotgun skills and the 25 hp bonus of the gunslinger to help out at the front.
Could engineer possibly be reworked to work without sentries? Or atleast, not in their current form? Maybe a turret that would mark enemies for death or make them visible through walls? Buffed dispensers and teleporters(faster build rate, teleport cost reduced to 100, increased dispenser range) and engineer being a better front class, with default 150 hp, and being able to drop small hp+ammo pack combined(a la starwars battlefront) as a shotgun alt-fire that requires damage to charge up.
Am I onto something or am I dumb? How do you think engie could work without a sentry, or differently?

Certain Players Getting Stuck After Spawning
Hi there, everyone.
So my team's project is going well. In my previous post, I was looking for assistance in getting a custom spawning system working, where players that die on one team automatically respawn in the same exact location, but on another team. We've got this working successfully now; however, the only problem is that it's created a new specific issue that I was hoping someone might be able to help me find a solution for.
So with our new dynamic spawning system, whenever a player dies, it grabs their current location in world space and then respawns them as a member of the other team right where they died. The problem that's occurring now is when a player dies while crouched under an object with collision or inside some low height brush geometry, such as inside a vent. When this happens, the player respawns in that same location, but does so in the default standing position, so the player gets stuck inside the collision/geometry and is unable to free themselves.
Browsing through the code, I feel like I should be able to solve this issue by forcing all players to spawn in a crouched state for a brief second (which would prevent them from getting stuck if they are underneath something that they would otherwise get stuck in), but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how to implement such a fix. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to force a player to spawn automatically crouched or perhaps have any other ideas on how to best go about solving this particular issue? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance for your help.

Playing CS:GO becomes more and more infected with cheaters.
Recently(some time ago) there was an update, saying that low level ranks can't play with higher ranks, atleast some.
That update was probably the must ridiculous update, since the low level ranks still are able to play with higher ranks, if they are just mixed.
As Supreme, i've manage to loose Ak's etc. because of infected hackers.
Please make an update, doing so accounts with less than 300 hours and less than 50+ wins can't play against ranks of LE, LEM, Supreme and Global.
Try see: http://ift.tt/1OQ9pDJ
In every game, I probably meet people with 10-100 hrs and getting rekt by hackers all the time. Just should seriously be possible to fix.
So lame, those boosting/hackers should be able to join a matchmaking game, with less than 100 hours, even tho they have won 5 games, to get their rank. I know, it might have some bad intentions towards those people who don't play that much. But seriously, if you don't play against a new account with less than 100 hours and cheating, you playing with a russian, german _W_ whos been boosted to LEM, Supreme? and can't even find bombsite B, on d2.

How to host a server without appearing to game-monitor or gametracker?
Well, one friend of mine wanna host a tf2 server on his VPS , but the VPS provider found it from the above site www.game-monitor.com by its ip and suspended it. How can he by-pass that and host that gameserver again, without the gameserver reporting its existence to these sites like game-monitor and gametracker.com?
Is this related to masterserver settings on server.cfg? I don't know them exactly.
And please, don't tell me to change VPS provider, he just can't!
Thank you in advance!

Prototype 2. How i fix 4 fps.
All i said in all other topics seems to be ignored by community. Got this game while ago and it wasn't working. Fps counter was going down to approx. 4 fps, crashes etc... Did my testing with HIDs, radeonpro and beta version of amd driver. Nothing worked for me.
All i did was to completely remove amd catalyst center with all "blessed by amd" drivers and there it is; Prototype runs smooth with lowest 32 fps highest 60 due to v-sync. Enjoy this good port, it's quiet good game. Remember to let your Win 7 install clean, default driver.
Thank You.

Raid and AHCI booting drivers.
Hello guys, I own 3 SSDs and 1 HDD, recently installed a raid-0 of SSDs.
To join my Raid-0 I've to settle on bios as raid, but on this configuration, it doesn't read any other driver on my computer, so I can't boot my old SSD or HDD.
I've changed back to AHCI, but then it couldn't load my Raid-0, and give me a message of components are missing and can't complete the booting.
So I've removed the energy from my Raid-0 SSDs, but when I restart my computer I get a blue screen saying, a driver is missing and must to be fixed. Problem is with this screen my keyboard becomes dead, and I can't do anything, so I've to reset bios everytime to access old drivers.
There's a way to settle AHCI and Raid at same time? So I can access both my old SSD and HDD, with my new Raid-0 installation?

Match making
Ok. I solo qued and I lost. It was pretty close game for 4 v 5 [one person left in our team] and I saw other team was LE-LEM and i see my team 2 LEM and 2 DMG. It is pretty unfair game.
i was top fragging with the other LEM and he told he queued with 2 DMG friend.
I mean.. I believe something should be fixed here because that is not fair for 3rd person.
Does it influence elo stuff?

Rising Storm crashes Steam?
So when playing, at random intervals of time, the steam and the game crashes. No error message, no anything. Steam and Rising Storm just turns off. I've tried disabling my antivirus and firewall but it didn't help. Also it doesn't create dump files so there's no way of checking what it is. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Thanks!

Issue Launching Team Fortress 2
Just re-downloaded Team Fortress 2 (I had the same error with the 1st download and figured it would be worth a shot to re-install/re-download, didn't fix error).
I launch the game, whether in the Steam client or directly via the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\hl2.exe file (also tried launching it with admin rights, I believe the file path I've written down here is correct but I'm prone to typos) and I am given the following output via a popup:
"
Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory 'tf'.
Check your -game parameter or VCONFIG setting.
"
I have no idea how to check either of these and have absolutely no clue as to whats going on aside from gameinfo.txt missing (long time arch linux user, but I'm running this on a windows 10 technical preview (bought deus ex directors cut (fantastic game) and didn't realize I need windows to play it (DOH!)).
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
How does one generate a gameinfo.txt file?
Is there a known cause/solution for this?

Is Hearts of Iron 3 worth buying?
I know threads have been made for this before, but none helped me.
I can handle the complexity of the game, I love the period and even though I don't typically play strategy games, I really like the world map and being able to change history. However, I keep hearing about the game crashing, and many of the posts/reviews/etc. that say this are quite recent. I gathered that buying TFH, FtM, and Semper Fi mostly fixes the game, but I still hear about crashes and problems non-stop. So is the game safe to buy right now? I really like it, but I'm afraid of buying it and never being able to actually play, considering I found nobody who managed to fix the problem permanently.

Sapper Suggestion: Payload Carts as Buildings
As far as I know, this hasn't been suggested before.
Basically, this would affect the dispenser part of the payload cart, and not the payload cart as a whole (since that would be really annoying).
After about 8 seconds (which I believe is the same amount of time it takes for a dispenser to be destroyed by a sapper), the sapper destroys itself (it can also be removed by an engineer as well.
This is mostly to give the sapper a purpose outside of engineer buildings.
Yes, sapper warnings will show up in the cart hud.

Cant get on my other account!!!
So a little back story to explain this problem: I started playing dark souls on my little brothers GFWL accout because I thought you had to have xbox live to have one. only an hour or two into the game I found out I had a GFWL account so I switched over to using that but I couldnt access live because I used the product key on my brother account. Therefore I used his account for PVP and my account for the story. So in my account i've completed the DLC and I only have to beat the 4 kings and seath the scaless to fill the lordvessle. On my brothers account Im hours and hours...and hours...and hours away from even obtaining the lordvessle. And now after an update or something, I can only play on my brothers account but the GFWL sign in thing doesnt even come up. So now you dark souls players will understand what kind of panic mode im in since I cant gain access to my other account where I've gotten so close to beating the whole freaking game. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek:

The Laser Pointer Teleporter
Basically, the idea is that it'd be a single building teleporter. When you build it initially, it doesn't have a destination and so does not function. When you press the button to build an exit, a small apparatus from the teleporter points a laser, and once the laser has rested on a solid object it will begin to function automatically from there.
It then fixes the laser to that spot, and then teleport players to that location.
Seems simple and intuitively, if a little limited, but I thought I'd throw it out there. It could be a PDA equip or something.

Can you BAN this cheater?
Algorithms to enhance match making and disempower smurfs and cheaters.
We all hate cheaters and we all hate smurfers at some point in our CS:GO career.
I would like to propose a way we can deal with both without banning or punishment.
The premise is to improve match making so it is more than capable to rank cheaters and smurfers with their bretheren or at least with players that can deal with them.
Match Making currently has an ELO score which I understand is the only (or primary) variable match making uses to determine which players can compete against each other. How about we add in a couple of extra variables which either roll into the ELO or modify it.
If we run all of the following algorithms on the client's machines, have them periodically sent during death or round buy (to reduce lag when playing) then collate them on the server and grab the media value we'll have a pretty good rating of how well a player is at all of the variables.
We can then start categorizing each player into groups, obviously when population is low the match making will have to stretch the groups a bit or prioritise the variables.
All clients that have the information about any players should be running the algorithims so lots of data can be generated to cross check.
1. Reaction
Record the time it takes when the player is visible to when the cursor is on a hit box, we can achieve this using the positions and rotations of players and the hitbox state of the targeted player.
2. Prediction
Record how often a player chooses the correct bomb site, if they goto bomb site A and there are at least 3 players within 50 meters of the site when the first enemy gets onsite then that's recorded.
Record how often a player is killed when camping, over the length of 5 seconds, record how far they moved, if they move less than 10 meters and get a kill, record it.
3. Experience
Record how often the cursor is at head height, raycast outwards, find the first wall then move backwards 10-20 meters along that line periodcally checking ground height, this will tell you how close they are to head height as they move around.
Record head shots vs body shots and general accuracy
4. Sixth Sense
Raycast multiple times in a circle from the cursor, if all the raycasts are hitting a wall record how long they look at the wall and how many players are currently visible, multiply these results if a kill is recorded within x seconds
Tell me about your ideas and problems with my algorithm so they can be refined.

We can then start categorizing each player into groups, obviously when population is low the match making will have to stretch the groups a bit or prioritise the variables.
All clients that have the information about any players should be running the algorithims so lots of data can be generated to cross check.
1. Reaction
Record the time it takes when the player is visible to when the cursor is on a hit box, we can achieve this using the positions and rotations of players and the hitbox state of the targeted player.
2. Prediction
Record how often a player chooses the correct bomb site, if they goto bomb site A and there are at least 3 players within 50 meters of the site when the first enemy gets onsite then that's recorded.
Record how often a player is killed when camping, over the length of 5 seconds, record how far they moved, if they move less than 10 meters and get a kill, record it.
3. Experience
Record how often the cursor is at head height, raycast outwards, find the first wall then move backwards 10-20 meters along that line periodcally checking ground height, this will tell you how close they are to head height as they move around.
Record head shots vs body shots and general accuracy
4. Sixth Sense
Raycast multiple times in a circle from the cursor, if all the raycasts are hitting a wall record how long they look at the wall and how many players are currently visible, multiply these results if a kill is recorded within x seconds
Tell me about your ideas and problems with my algorithm so they can be refined.

directory names for Resident Evil 5
There is a 7.4 GB "patch" for Resident Evil Steamworks edition. Bascially it wants you to install from scratch. I fail to believe that every single file is new. You can reinstall games on Steam if you place the files in the folder it is in and click install right? It gave me 101 MB cause I had redistributable folder right but..
I want to know what's the name of the folder they keep the arc files in.
Someone on the Steam User Forums said that it was changed from native_PC to something else. I posted something there asking the same question but a person just said to "deal with it" and then it got flooded with 100 the DLC is too expensive threads (just don't buy it). I could try it to see if it works. The worse thing that can happen is that the game crashes and I have to install from scratch (which I had to do anyways).

Can't play Assault Squad 2 free weekend.
So I saw this weekend Assault Squad 2 is free to play, and I've been eyeing this one for a while. I think I'll probably pick it up, but I'd obviously like to try it first to see if it's my kinda game. But for some reason, clicking "play game" on the steam store does not start the download, and I don't see the usual listing on my steam library with the game with "3 days left" or whatever.
Anyone else having trouble accessing the free weekend install?
Edit: Nvm, sounds like they got in touch with Valve and worked out the kinks, restart your client now, worked for me.

Rope in Portal 2 doesn't want to swing.
Hello everyone,
I cannot make my ropes in Portal 2 swing. What I've done so far:
- using env_shake (with proper flags set and triggered)
- using env_wind
- wondering where the hell the rope entity option "Disable Wind" is? In my case it's not present!
From what I researched so far, both env_shake and env_wind should be able to add some random movement to the rope. Sadly, they didn't.
Any suggestions?
Greetings,
A.

Framerate drops whenever shooting or being flashed! Help pls
Hey steam people, recently i've been playing my game in cs perfectly fine.:cool: But then the next day i woke up i saw that i had accidentaly left my pc open. At that case i ignored it and started a game of cs. My framerate was dropped to 60 fps! when it normally should be to 120+ And when i shot or got flashed my framerate would drop to 10-20 fps. So i've checked some guides online saying that there was too much electricity or smth, telling me to not run my computer for a day, did that and no result then i saw a guide on yt saying to unpark my cores, did that and no solution found yet! Installed Nvidia drivers and updated them, i also tried enhancing my graphics using nvidia, my fps boosted up to 80-70 but i still got lag and now lag whenever my pc wants to, i Removed malware from my pc and all viruses (if it had any)and still no result.
Please help me steam community!

It's an experiment: SPUF's TF2 Blug
The purpose of this thread is to show the TF2 developer team how a blog really works by doing the opposite of what they do... in other words, we write something.
Write like a TF2 blog. Talk like a TF2 blog (so about nearly anything but TF2). Update regularly. Play nice.
It's ok since it's an experiment! (Maybe?)

Steam vs Zenimax / Elders Scrolls online. Paid steam, nobody delivered!
I know i put this in the wrong area, mods feel free to move, post may not even see the light of day.
Im trying to get a resolve from both parties, but Steam blames ESO, and ESO blames Steam.
I have been playing Elders scrolls online for quite a number of months now, and the crown store has been released, woohoo thought i would buy myself some extra in game crowns, so i can get a cool flaming horse, I followed the instructions ESO outlined here:
http://ift.tt/1M42GHl
I purchased through steam, waited for my steam code, which never got delivered. I lodged an issue to steam and they said in the support ticket:
We have no access to this game's in-game economy so there is no way for Steam Support to verify that the in game items you've purchased have been added to your account. We do show that the transaction was completed successfully on our end.
You will need to contact their support department directly if the points aren't showing up in your account. They will be able to research the issue on their end.
Contact this games' third party support department here:
Title: The Elder Scrolls® Online: Tamriel Unlimited™
Link: http://ift.tt/1ychl7O
If their Support department asks you for your proof of purchase, you can find a record of the purchase in your Steam account here:
- Log in to your Steam account.
- In the upper right hand corner, click the "[Your username]'s account" and select "Account Details" from the drop down list.
- Clicking on "Game Transactions" will list your recent purchases for in-game items or currency. The details include the date of purchase, name of the game or item(s) purchased, and the transaction amount.
So Steam have wiped there hands of the purchase!
Got on to ESO, and they have insisted that i deal with the issue through Steam and wait for my code.
Nobody has taken ownership, nobody wants to take ownership, and everyone gets to keep my money. I have put a paypal dispute through, guess we will see how that goes, guess there is no in game crowns for me. Hopefully i get to have my money back.

MM is so bad, my smurf that only uses the UMP-45 is 1 rank below my main
cause on my main, half of my losses are due to vsing ♥♥♥♥ing blatant hackers, while my smurf ( which actually has more hours than my main ) has not vsed hackers and climbed to gold nova master.
MM is just all luck on whether or not you play vs ♥♥♥♥ing hackers, what a joke.

High Lag Across Multiple Games
So, I'm trying to play TF2, and I'm getting massive lag spikes. Jump and freeze mid-air kind of thing. But I'm still able to look around, and everyone else seems to move normally, I've even observed two scouts fighting before one noticed me for the free kill.
I have screenshots of the netgraph below, it's notable that in some of them, I have a very high choke. This problem in particular has been fixed by lowering the cmdrate and updatrates. But the graph section still looks the same. From what I've gathered, it implies that I'm receiving a huge amount of data?
Also worth noting: I'm using wifi (normally use a cable at my dorms, currently at home on break. Ethernet is not an option.), and my brother, on the same internet and a worse computer, doesn't get this kind of lag. I previously used the same computer and wifi connection in December with no notable lag spikes.
Also worth noting: Lag also continues in CS:GO, and besides the graph, the "In" value on the Net graph always spikes when I lag, so I assume it's causing the problem.
Lag does NOT seem to occur in either Terraria or Lethal League, or if it does it's not large enough to be noticeable.
Screenshots

http://ift.tt/1Ccv6Ho
http://ift.tt/1Ccv6Hs
http://ift.tt/1D0s7oZ
While my ping is high in many of these screenshots, it usually is around 30-50.
I can post the internet-related autoexec commands for TF2 if anyone needs them, but since I also tested for and confirmed lag in CSGO (where I havent changed a single setting, since I dont play it often), I doubt they're part of the problem.
If there's any more information you could need, feel free to ask. I can always take more screenshots or play a different game to get more information. Also, the threads I found relating to this all said to drop the cmdrate and updaterate to deal with lag, but since I already did that, I posted a new thread, apologies if I missed a thread that answered this question already.

Fatal Error Steam needs to be online to update HELP I have tried everything!
Steam used to work fine for me for months. Then it could not connect to the Store, "Error 101" whatever that is. I at least had my Library. Once or twice the Store worked, so I thought maybe it was just some weird glitch. Then I decided to try uninstalling and reinstalling Steam to see if that would fix the issue.
Now I have the Fatal Error and I cannot even open Steam.
I have tried everything I've read on the Steam Support website and elsewhere. Firewall, registries to 0, cleaning out malware, restarting modem, computer, etc. Nothing has helped. Clearly I am on the internet, I have no other problems with my connectivity, it's just Steam that seems to think I am not connected to the internet.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than those methods I already mentioned trying above?

Steam "Support " Is TERRIBLE
[Hypothetical, very long thread] TF2's very own Escort mode starring...
Miss Pauling as the Courier!
The Setting
• Set post-MvM, during the 'Ring of Fired' timeline but in no way canon due to missing mercs andtraitorous Medics gameplay is usually never representative of what actually happens in the story. Whether it's the Mercs in BLU or RED uniforms, the opposite team will play as Robots in an official capacity, the team with Miss Pauling are known as the 'ESCORTS' while the robot team is known as the 'INTERCEPTORS or KIDNAPPERS'.
Miss Pauling, the Escort class
Distribution/Basics
• Through new UI or simply randomising the player who gets to play as her, becomes the '10th class'. Miss Pauling has 0.93x move speed, making her as slow as the Demoman. She has 125 health as the Scout/Spy/Engineer/Sniper but she gains the regen effect as a Medic; fragile but not too reliant on healing to survive.
She Shoots, she Scores
• Unlike TFC's escort, she isn't helpless! Her primary weapon the Revolver, though more specifically new revolver called the 'Derringer' as seen in Expiration Date movie. Think of it like the Soda-Popper had babies with the Ambassador and you have the base stats. Two-bullet clip, enhanced firing rate, same reloading speed. It's unique stat is that if both rounds are fired consecutively (not releasing M1 and both hit the same target), the target who was shot the first time will be mini-crit the second time and suffer bleed effects for 4 seconds, bleed effect also inherits the crit status of the second shot. The Derringer also headshots, causing a mini-crit the first time and a full crit if it meets the previous condition of landing both hits (but only if the shot actually hits the head)
• If she runs out of ammo for her Derringer, her default melee attack is simply to hit enemies with the grip of her gun, however this has standard firing speed and deals as much as the Scout's bat in this case, otherwise a sub-par melee that doesn't randomly crit. She's bound to have a handful of reloads worth of bullets including the two already inside the gun, but spamming it will cause her to lose her self-defense quite quickly.
Being Strung Along
• Her class ability is 'Assist/Interact', mainly this allows her to attach herself to a friendly player as if holding hands (though in gameplay only Pauling's hand will reach out to avoid messing with animations too much). While attached she will be stuck adjacent to her ally in a ring shape, the speed difference between her and her ally will be smack-bang between the two of them, this allows a faster class such as the Scout or Medic to take her around routes much faster at the expense of their own speed.
An actually useful Escort
• While assisting an ally, if she shoots at an enemy, if the ally also hits the target within one second, the ally's hits are treated as one crit-stage higher (Normal -> Mini-crit -> Full crit), so think of it as a very brief marked for death for the two fighting on conjunction. Pauling doesn't get crit boosting for her ally since her Derringer already has crit mechanics (also can't randomly crit!)
Friend with Benefits
• But more than that, her class ability enables her to help Engineer break sappers off his machines, warn Sniper about enemies within her field of vision while he is scoped, cloak and inherit a random disguise off the Spy...ect. I'm sure a secondary weapon to carry pick-ups to give to allies might work although I'm secretly hoping it'll be a Scout unlock some day.
Spies are still dangerous though
• Careful though, if she 'assists' an enemy Spy, the enemy Spy can instantly undisguise and capture her! Details on capturing next!
Pauling never gives up, but she will need your help!
• Pauling as a player character has health but she will never die, and I'm pretty sure she'll use some kind of grappling hook to catch herself back to a ledge on pitfalls. But if her health depletes or she does have to hook back to save herself from a fall, she'll be made 'helpless' in a way similar to Left 4 Dead.
Administering First-Aid
• The only way to bring Pauling back to her feet is to stand within a clearly marked though restrictive radius near her much like a dynamic control point. Any class can stand next to her to slowly bring her up to her feet but the Scout will do so in half the time and the Medic can do so at the same rate as a non-scout, but from a distance.
• The trick is that if one of the robot players gets to Pauling first, they will instantly pick her up and able to carry her around at a -30% movement speed penalty. The human team will need to destroy the robot player and stand by her until she can get back to her feet. Progress towards reviving her is preserved even if a human player gets pushed/killed or if robots picks her up and drop her multiple times.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I would like help.
No, I'm not a "laptop peasant" I have a main desktop pc for gaming, etc. But I would like a laptop to stream movies/ put on my TV easily and maybe some casual gaming.
I am looking for the cheapest alternative possible.
If anyone has any good laptops that they would recommend that would be great.
I don't really want to go over $400 as it's not for anything major
Thankyou

Vosteran virus
Not sure where to put it, so he goes...
So a few months back I downloaded some free software (can't even remember what it was now, but it wasn't a torrent or anything). Usually I'm quite on-the-ball with these things but this particular time I didn't pay much attention and just went ahead and downloaded/ok'd everything. Basically I ended up accidentally downloading and installing one of those free download manager things that come with a load of adware and God knows what else.
This Vosteran browser hijacker was one of them.
Uninstalled, deleted related registry files, did numerous scans. I still couldn't get the bugger off my system. So, I reinstalled Windows. No problem since.
HOWEVER, recently I've noticed I have *one* particular file that is infected (as shown by Malwarebytes). It's in Google Chrome. I haven't downloaded anything recently other than Steam games. Despite constant scans, the file is still there (although when I navigate to the folder location, the folder doesn't even exist). The file shows up as PUP.Optional.Vosteran.A.
Any tips?
So a few months back I downloaded some free software (can't even remember what it was now, but it wasn't a torrent or anything). Usually I'm quite on-the-ball with these things but this particular time I didn't pay much attention and just went ahead and downloaded/ok'd everything. Basically I ended up accidentally downloading and installing one of those free download manager things that come with a load of adware and God knows what else.

Does anyone know of a source for broken down wrecks (apart from Doncaster Works/Industrial North)?
Since I first made the 0727_Plymouth-Edinburgh series of scenarios telling the story of 55003 Meld, Creative Rail have released their version of Doncaster Works along with, importantly, the line to York. I am considering a version of the York-Doncaster Works section of the story using the Creative Rail route, but would like to do it without using the RSC Doncaster Works package if possible.
The current twelve part series of the 0727_Plymouth-Edinburgh scenarios have all been tested on TS2015, uploaded to my site, and are now available as seven downloads (separate downloads for each route used) or as one complete box-set - all free to download.

Steam support and its ingorancy
Hello there fellow steam users / steamers / just bypassers
So there happened one thing the other day. Just a regular trade day. Wanted to trade my Huntsman knife for a clean vanilla fine lookin' gut knife. So i made offers on numerous posts in lounge. One responded. Typical chat with hi and immediate ask for a trade. Then the ♥♥♥♥ hit the fan!!
He placed some low-end boxes in trade window and in middle the knife i was looking for. Immediately i placed my knife in the trade window, but just before i checked "ready" he then swapped his knife out with a cheap 0.04$ weapon. And there was the biggest fail from my side. I, in hype of getting my favourite low-end knife, didn't check twice and accepted the trade. Only then when the trade was almost done i realized that he was scamming me. I quickly tried to un-check "ready" but it didn't work... the trade was complete and now i lost 55$. Immediately i messaged steam support, which they only responded 4 days after this all happened (it all happened on friday, march 19th, 2015)
So they sent me this short message saying that:
Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
We apologize for the delay.
The trade in question was completed through the Steam trading interface, which requires multiple confirmations from both trade partners. We have a strict item restoration policy regarding trades confirmed through this process. Steam Support will not restore items associated with this trade.
It is the user's responsibility to verify that the contents of the trade are accurate and that the trade partner is the correct user.
If scammers are encountered in the future, please report them through their Steam Community profile. To do so, click the 'More' drop down, select 'Report Violation', and choose 'Attempted Trade Scam'. All reports made are investigated by Steam Support.
Steam Support discourages the following types of trades, as they cannot be guaranteed by the Steam trading interface:
- Trades involving money/PayPal outside of the Steam Community Market
- Trades involving CD keys or Wallet codes
- Trading items and expecting them to be returned to you through a verbal agreement
- Trading items/gifts for nothing in return in the first trade and expecting to get an item or gift in a later trade

http://ift.tt/1ImzBBo
From there on i was super mad about the so called "support" which even can't do as simple as returning an item that is still in the scammers backpack (thats here: http://ift.tt/1ImzBBq)
From which i furiously smashing my keyboard responded with this:
Are you kidding me? Is it that hard for you to trace the trade and return the item that has been taken away by manipulation, thats like still there in the scammers backpack, and let the criminal escape like this? Like really i put REAL MONEY into market and all you can respond is "Steam Support will not restore items associated with this trade." ? Are you really so greedy that you'r gonna do this kind of bull♥♥♥♥ to your own customers? You understand that with a lawyer i can make that you loose more than those 55 euros that i've put in your company!
Worst support for customers! Where did the "the customer is always right" go? This is multimillionaire company and you cant even return an item thats worth 55 euros? Like really guys? I'm so disapointed in this. I hope you'll think about this more and come to conclusion that it's easier to return an item what actually hasn't been lost. It's still in the system. And to punish the scammer that tried to frauden community.
Just terrible!
Now waiting for their responce (which may never come)
Anyway i can get the item that i lost back? or is there no chance? Also one big fail from my side was that i turned off trade confirmation email (because it was really bugging me since i had to do numerous small trades all at once)
P.s. - If this post is in the wrong section feel free to redirect me to the right one and i'll be sure to place it there

Help needed with technical queries
Hello, can anyone help with the following?
1) the fps is capped at 100. When I played Blueshift last year I placed an autoexec file in the HL directory that had the two commands:
fps_max 120
fps_override 1
and this raised the fps to 120. However this does not work in HL? The fps stays at 100.
2) I want to run at 1600x900 in a black border but the game scales up to full panel size. Despite setting the "override" option in Nvidia control panel.
3) Does the game natively use either multisampling or anisotropic filtering? I want to set them in Nvidia CP but first wish to make sure there is none applied in game.
4) The in-game brightness and gamma sliders seem to make no difference? Shouldn't they be, er, making the game brighter or darker and so on?
Does anyone have any help or comments on any of this?

The reason I want to do this is because we don't have enough money for 3 good computers but my single computer is pretty beastly, and the laptops we have are pretty bad.

[Steam API] How retrieve upcoming games with the Steam Web API?
Hi,
I'm working on a mobile application which displays the list of upcoming steam games.
For this, i'm using the Steam Web API. Here is the list of all Steam applications : http://ift.tt/1xU0ne9
I'm also using this : http://ift.tt/1LNwZSC to get informations for one specific application, defined by the "appids" tag. For each application, I check if it's coming soon and return the app's name in a array.
The problem is that it takes too much time and the Steam Web API allows a certain number of request per day and per seconds
I have no idea how to simply get all coming soon games.
Does anyone can help me ? Thank you in advance for your answer.

The Blur Busters tests in firefox
http://ift.tt/1Hqk2Lp
With older versions of Firefox the UFO ghost test at the above link looked quite sharp at 120hz on my BenQ XL2720Z, and putting blur reduction on made it seem almost flawless as it moves.
Now it is as if the page is reporting 120 fps at 120hz but is really running at 60fps at 60hz. The UFO is a lot blurrier and juddery, with or without blur reduction.
Restoring to an old OS image from last June confirms my suspicions. Visiting the link in FF 30.0 brought back the sharpness I remembered. But then updating to the latest version of FF sees the return of the blur and judder.
Can anyone think of any explanation for why the tests would run so much better in FF30.0 than in FF 36.x?

Can someone explain LA Noire for me or am I reading too much into this
So...I just started this game and got to the first interview.
During it...theres the options to choose 1. Truth 2. Doubt 3. Lie.
Ok...WTF is doubt for?
I spent more time on this stupid interview than I should have b/c I chose doubt instead of lie....but if I doubt he's telling the truth....THEN I THINK HE'S ♥♥♥♥ING LYING.
It makes no sense.
Maybe I'm not understanding how it works properly.

Let's hope its going to be better than Tron 2, i have real worries it will try to do the same thing.

My dream patch notes (2500th post so read it dammit, that means you Valve staffer)
Bug Fixes
Weapon Rebalancing
Miscellaneous
Competitive
Is there anything I've forgotten?
P.S. Thanks to everyone for a great year (:
- The game now performs a check for invisible players every 30 seconds and reloads only the information related to that player (to avoid any lag spikes for clients).
- STV system reworked, all cosmetic items are now displayed correctly in .dem files.
- Fixed a bug where pauses in STVs would cause unwanted behaviour in both live SourceTV broadcasts and later playback.
- Fixed a bug related to the Bazaar Bargain head counter incrementing incorrectly on servers with random crits disabled.
- Fixed a suite of bugs related to navigating through .dem files using the playdemo command.
- All .dem files are now forever forwards and backwards compatible, old files can all be played correctly. Contact us directly for any minor issues with this functionality.
- Synchronised the shown ping on net_graph with the player scoreboard to fix an issue where the ping was displayed incorrectly.
- Fixed airblast sometimes taking away a Scout's second jump.
- Fixed airblast not taking into account a player's prior momentum.
- Fixed the Vaccinator providing crit resistance outside Übercharges.
- Fixed an exploit that allowed faster reloading of many weapons via scripting.
- Fixed a rare bug where lag spikes could cause a Medic's Übercharge percentage to appear to reset to 0.
Weapon Rebalancing
- Removed the Loch-n-Load's projectile speed bonus. Reduced clip size to 2. On kill, clip reloads instantly.
- Increased Vita-Saw health debuff to 25 and reduced Übercharge saved to a maximum of ten percent.
- The Baby Face's Blaster now has a speed cap of 440 HU/s, 147% of normal speed.
- BFB boost can now only be gained on a kill. Each kill adds 25% to the boost meter and 20 HU/s to the Scout's speed.
- There is now no penalty for double-jumping with the BFB equipped.
- Short Circuit now only destroys projectiles within a 10 degree radius of the engineer's crosshair, this is lag compensated.
- The Short Circuit now has a greatly increased attack interval of 0.4 seconds.
- Removed Übercharge and cloak percentage drains from the Pomson 6000.
- Reduced the effectiveness of the Wrangler's shield; it now absorbs 50% of incoming damage.
- The Tide Turner now no longer has its charge drained due to incoming damage.
- On equip, the Razorback adds a 30% bullet vulnerability to the Sniper.
- Ths Market Gardener now cannot be equipped with the Rocket Jumper or the B.A.S.E. Jumper.
Miscellaneous
- Updated many default settings. Hitsounds, damage text and Medic auto-heal are now all enabled by default. Motion blur has been removed from the options menu and is now unsupported.
- Updated default net settings.
- Random bullet spread now defaults to off.
- Damage spread and random crits are now able to be voted on or off through the vote menu.
- Added a new 'Particles' control in the Advanced Multiplayer Options, which enables the player to decrease the quantity of particles displayed client-side.
- Players equipping the Rocket or Sticky Jumper will be shown a short message explaining the training purpose of these weapons and their lack of damage potential.
Competitive
- Tradeable team skins can now be bought from the Mann Co. Store and equipped on all servers. These will be used to fund qualified teams' travel to Valve-sponsored international events such as Dreamhack.
- Beta Matchmaking has been added, supporting all major competitive gametypes (Highlander, 6s and 4s)
Is there anything I've forgotten?

Just a Vaccinator Idea
During Non Uber - primary chosen resistance increased from 10% to 15/20%
- add 5-10% resistance for other unchosen resistances
During Uber - increase resistance from 75% to 85%
- add 15-20% resistance to other unchosen resistances
any constructive criticisms?

No sound in Steam videos
Hi all,
for past couple of days the sound in Steam videos (i.e. the video trailers in game's store page) is broken. Now I have no sound in these videos.
There is no sound ONLY in Steam videos - everything else works fine (games, youtube etc..)
There is no sound in these Steam videos in every browser - in Steam client, in Firefox, in Chrome.
I have Windows 7 x64 and the problem persists only for several days. I checked the mute/unmute button in Steam video player, I checked the settings in Windows volume mixer. No luck.
Please advise.
UPD: Seems there is no sound at all in Steam store now. Just checked my other two boxes: one laptop with Windows 7 x64, the other is a Fujitsu Esprimo nettop-box with Windows 8.1 x64 - no sound at all three computers...

Tec9 vs Galil?
I honestly think tec-9 is better than galil, not just for the price, but the gun itself.
Tec9 can run and gun while a galil cannot.
Tec9 can one shot kill a fully bought CT with a headshot in close range while the galil cannot.
When mad tapping, Tec9 has an on-par (if not better) accuracy with galil's full auto spray, EVEN WHEN MOVING.
Not much of a difference in accurate range (19m for tec9, 23m for galil).
On top of that, it's only $500, which means you can get a nade set with that extra money.
If my teammate gives me a galil, I'll throw it back at him. If he gives me a tec 9, now that's what I'm talking about.
On second round after a pistol round win, I don't go for SMGs or galil even if i know the enemy will pistol armor for sure. I just go for Tec9 because it's superior to the five-seven and the cz-75 anyway.
Also, I can pick up the weapon from my fallen comrade. One less gun for the CTs to pick up if they went for a save.
Any opinions?

Marksman's Mohair and Snow Sleeves Don't Conflict
I somehow managed to make my sniper wear the marksman's mohair and snow sleeves wear them both at the same time. My marksman's mohair is painted aged mustache grey. Idk if it's because of the paint or just an unfixed bug.

Search for A+B+C, get AorBorC
Go to player search. Type in someone's name, let's say they have 3 words in their name, Realistic Mini Jumps. A pretty unique name. Searching should only give 1 result. Get thousands of results, because steam searched for any profile that has Realistic, has Mini, OR has Jumps in the name.
Type it with quotes. Steam has to search for the ENTIRE entry, and will only return results that have "Realistic Mini Jumps" written exactly like that. Right? Nope. Get the same results where steam decided it didn't need to search for the whole name, just parts.
I want to find the profile of "That Traitor gotte kill him" because I'm pretty sure he joined my group chat to troll. Guess what. I got 269,778 results of people that have that, traitor, got, gott, gotte, kill, and him in their names (And some that DON'T have them, like me and one of my friends, who were returned as the top two results. In fact, that friend is almost ALWAYS returned as the top result, no matter what I search for).
Fine, I'll search "gotte" because it's unique. So I'll only get profiles that have "gotte" in them. Nope. 90% of results are gott. I did not type gott. I typed gotte. Put quotes around it so steam searches for exactly what I typed. Nope. Steam still decides I wanted to type gott instead, and shows results for that.
Hey steam. If I type something in search, SEARCH FOR IT. Don't decide you want to search for something different, or only search for parts of what I typed.

I remember 2 games from the past but i cant get the titles on my own to google them. Ill try to explain what the game was about. Both were sci fi games and 3d.
1.
You were a cop as i can remember. 3rd Person view. You were able to walk inside and outside of buildings. There were also cars (without wheels) and if i remember correctly you can order a ride to get you to other locations. About the next part im a bit unsure. If i remember correctly you had some mind-skills (dunno what they were about).
2.
Second game i only remember that you were able to fly around in a city with traffic and so on, which was pretty funny because of the vertical aspect. You were somehow able to upgrade your ride. There were races and other missions. Dunno had only played the demo that time.
If someone can help me with those two. I know my descriptions arent the best but ... well i really need to remember :)

Can't Add Funds to Wallet
I've noticed that Steam adds so many barriers to dissuade people from using the Marketplace, almost as if they don't want your money.
Anyways, I typo'd the security code for my credit card while trying to add funds, and got this error message:
"For the protection of the account holder, this purchase has been declined. Further purchasing will be temporarily limited - please contact Steam Support to resolve this issue."
So I contacted them. But does anyone know how long it may take for a response, and/or what I'll have to do to clear up the matter?

FPS Drops and Lag Spikes
Recently I just bought a new laptop, specifically the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition. It is very similiar in specs to the Lenovo Y50. Here are my specs:
CPU: 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ (quad-core, 6MB cache)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M (2GB GDDR5 RAM), Intel HD Graphics 4600
RAM: 8GB DDR3L
Storage: 1TB HDD (5,400 RPM)
OS: Windows 8.1
The funny thing is it runs games out of steam just fine, for example minecraft. I don't get the absolute highest framerate in the world - but it doesn't spike. When I run steam games like unturned, infestation, or cs go, it randomly spikes. In CS GO I could be playing at 200 fps then every 30 seconds it would drop to around 25-40 fps. This in the same in unturned and infestation, it would be butter smooth for a while then become very choppy. I tried finding solutions but most solutions are game-specific, and most of them haven't worked. I've tweaked my CS GO launch settings, but I find that the root of the problem seems to be steam or steam games, and I might not be tackling the right thing.
To be clear, I have updated all my video drivers, and my realtek audio sound drivers. I also game with an ethernet cable, and I don't believe it's related to internet speed because I'm not lagging, I'm just suffering framerate drops(my ping is always 5). Is it a windows 8 problem? A steam problem? GPU heat throttling? I've really ran into a wall here. Please help me :(
I've posted this message before, but no one replied my old one, so I'm trying to revive it.

Post-Update FPS drop
Hello, it's been a while since i've posted on the forums but this seems like an issue that maybe alot of people are having but just aren't saying and trying to isolate the problems. Recently i've been having fps drops from my constant 299 (locked at 300), to 240 to 180 for brief periods of time a small stutter occurs even. My static fps also seems to hang around 288 now.
I've tried multiple troubleshooting, disabling anti virus, ending process of anti virus, closing everything except cs:go. Restarting steam, restarting cs:go, reinstalling cs:go but i keep reaching the same result. I keep having my constant 299fps drop to strange numbers like 180/240. At first i assumed because i was playing deathmatch and it was just some terrible server doing things terribly. But it was standard across all modes (the lower end being on deathmatch). Was there something that happened in said update? I'll leave my specs below.
GFX CARD:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 [I have not conducted nor ever conducted any form of overclocking]
CPU: Intel i7-4790k 4.00 ghz (8 cpus) [I have not conducted nor ever conducted any form of overclocking]
Memory: 8192MB Ram (DDR3) [I have not conducted nor ever conducted any form of overclocking]
Motherboard: Asrock Z87 Pro4
Monitor: AOC 144hz (can't remember which but i don't think its important)

Where Is This Quote In-Game??
I've been looking up quotes for Portal 2 and I recently found one that's very funny but I have no clue where it is in-game or even if it is in the game.
The quote is: 'Oh, did you bring your little portal gun? Nothing to portal onto here, luv. Just ten pounds of dead weight. About to be two hundred and ten. Fatty.' ~ Wheatley
I'm pretty sure if it is in-game it'd be in either chapter 8 or chapter 9. So if any of you know where it is in-game or even if it is in-game please let me know.

Can we move the Steam Client to another drive, but keep games where they are?
I can't seem to find my variation of this question when searching.
I have my Steam client and ALL my games currently on my D: (HDD) drive. One library of 200 GB of installed games. I just increased the size of my C: (SSD) drive and now I want the Steam client on the C: SSD drive. And after that is done. I am hoping to be able to move some of the games over to the SSD as well by adding a 2nd library path. But I think I will have to uninstall and reinstall each game that I want on the C: SSD drive.
But first. How do I get the Steam Client moved from D: to C: and keep my games working on D: ? I really don't want to have to start all over and re-download 200 GB of games.

func_physbox issues
I created two func_physboxes for a Portal 2 map. One is a thin cylinder, the other a sphere roughly the size of the Portal sphere, but set it to explode and give damage. The first box I can pick up in the game. The second one I can't. As far as I can see, there is no settings differences between the two except for the following: Explosion Damage, Explosion Radius, Material Type, and Explode Magnitude. What do I need to do to enable me to allow this physbox to be picked up and carried by a player? Thanks.

Playing games on computer w/o Internet/update
Hi all.
I know similar questions have already been asked, and I'm just opening this thread to be sure, sry if theres a similar one. The question is: Im trying to play games of my steam library on a different computer, where I dont have any possibility to go online once. Its all secured through firewall etc., so I'm trying to play steam games without ever going online on this pc.
Now the question before I start copying the 456 Gig Steam Folder on an external drive: Is this possible? Ofc I would prefer to be kind of "invisible" to the network, so no request are even send. Can I prepare this at my gaming pc?
So, how exactly can I do that? Am I just copying all files on an external drive and then plug it into the other pc? Do I have to install steam and kind of "prepare" this whole thing so I stay unmentioned, e.g. select offline mode before switching to the other pc? Is this all even possible?^^ Any help would really be appreciated.
Regards

Performance guide!
A small guide which may help CS:GO players stabilize and optimize their computer for gaming. It will also help other types of games as well obviously
I mostly trialed and errored this myself and I believe I've come down to whatever was causing issues for me.
While I've never had any critical issues with CS:GO I do feel it's never any bad to smooth out my game experience.
Windows 8.1 users:
Follow this guide:
http://ift.tt/1MUHMFI
For windows pro/ultimate users:
Use gpedit to disable bandwidth limits which are there by default, windows reserves upto 20% of your bandwidth for the system but might be worth a shot.
You can do this with home versions as well but it requires you to mess with registry yourself which I don't recommend unless you got a step by step guide on how to do it and making sure you don't mess up the wrong things.
More general tweaks for everybody:
follow this guide:
http://ift.tt/1x913Bt
If you don't want to mess around in BIOS you shouldn't either, I didn't notice that much big of a difference in doing so, minor improvements but I can live without them personally :)
Priorities:
Put CS:GO on high prio
put steam.exe and every other steam related item on low prio
I use a dedicated soundcard, xonar so I can put that on below normal prio and it helps greatly for my shot speed and responsivenes in game, this was the biggest tweak impact for me personally.
this can probably be done with Mobo sound as well.
Other things that will help:
Disabling antivirus, malware/spyware programs while playing.
Using CCleaner to fix registry.
Turn of router at night if you don't need to use it for DL or whatever.
Restart your pc before playing CS:GO.
Restart your router every 3-4 hours.
Probably not 1 magical thing you can do to fix CS but a combined effort to eliminate as much interference as possible in your games.
It's not required to do everything to get smooth but this is the path I had to get my CS:GO as smooth and responsive as I got it today and I recommend
Credits:
Roach who wrote the gaming and mouse responsivnes guide and windows 8.1 tweak guide.
Rest is information I've gathered and tested myself.

Custom Content
Can't there be any way to whitelist certain files so that we can play with our favorite weapon skins and killicons on an official Valve server?
Wasn't the reason that the servers got so strict with custom content due to wallhacks/modified decloak noises? There HAS to be a way to address those without totally dicing community modifications...Please Valve. Please..

An idea with statuse and schedule
Please add following status:
-Do not disturb
*Note: This status doesn't provide you messages for selected period of time and days
For example:
-Schedule Monday-Friday 10.00am-7:00pm
-if someone wrote you during this period you won't see messages or at least you won't see blinking messages in Steam
Valve would be much appreciated for providing such status with autoscheduling change

Turn-based games ?
So, I've just finished Dragon Age Origins and quite enjoyed it, but I didn't realize when I bought it that the combat was turn-based.
My question is....is DOA typical of turn-based games because usually I've avoided them like the plague?
However, I wouldn't mind playing more of them if they were like this.

external hard drive, what do I get?
I'd like to reinstall windows and keep some goodies in the process. I don't think I need anything fancy.
Should I just get one that plugs into a usb port? Do brand names matter? Size shouldn't be an issue, I just want to save my songs + files.
Any tips?

certified compatible
I'm new to this so still trying to figure things out.
I recently uploaded an item and noticed it is not stamped as certified compatible, whereas it seems most other items are, even the very recent ones.
How do I get that status? I am using the starred 'submit' thing through tf2, then browsing and uploading the zip that it creates.
What else do I have to do?
edit: and it's just a simple hat item. I did pick misc. for it because it's really a cosmetic, but I see other recent items as 'misc' that are starred.

RPG Game design
Hey guys and girls, i have two questions regarding certain design decisions in rpg games, feel free to suggest some features that are not quite orthodox for this type of games, thanks!
Question 1
About creating player strongholds, 'safe' heavens for the player, with upgradeable content, barracks, towers etc that will suffer periodic, event caused attacks from outside force. Can you suggest me some games that tried that and what do you think about that ideas in general?
Question 2
Hunger in rpgs, i know that most people consider it to be non-sense and just getting into a way, but making it as primary source of regeneration, considering that potions will be harder to obtain and quit pricey?
Thanks all

TS2014 Menus for TS2015 now available in a simple package
Because of continued complaints about the new TS2015 menus I have decided to make things simple and provide the replacement folder. This means a lot less work for you, and you don't need a back-up copy of TS2014 from which to get the files.
It is available here: (I recommend using Adblock or similar)
2014_Menu_for_TS2015.zip - 21.6 MB
Make sure you read the "installation instructions" for important instructions, but there is nothing complicated to do.
For details of what I have actually done (with help) please see this thread: http://ift.tt/1CytbQM

Apparently Valve and Gabe don't have the slightest interest in making HL3
Found this on Polygon (sorry, I know a lot of people dislike that site, myself included, but it was the only one I saw reporting this).
http://ift.tt/1EtNB8x
In other words: let's not hold our collective breaths.
Gabe also insisted that their games are "tools" (whatever that means; probably not something very good, same as his "games-as-a-service" approach of yesteryear), and that some may be useful at a given time, some may not.
Alright Valve, thanks for the cliffhangers, I guess.
Marc Laidlaw should probably just go ahead and publish the whole script since apparently it will never be used.

Quote:
"I get it," he said. "I'm a fan of TV shows, I'm a fan of writers, I'm a fan of movies, I'm a fan of games. I certainly understand why people are like 'Hey, I remember this awesome experience and I'm starting to get worried that I'm never going to get to have it again.' I'm a fan of Terry Pratchett and he has Alzheimer's and it's like 'Oh my god, I may never get another great Discworld novel.' [Note: The interview with Keighley was recorded prior to Pratchett's death.] "So we understand it and we feel that. We think at the end of the day customers are going to be really happy with where we spent our time and how we've turned that into entertainment for them. But we're also going to build on what we've learned ... and we've learned a lot. We're not going to go all retro because there are too many interesting things that have been learned." While navigating the minefield that is Half-Life 3, while never actually mentioning it by name, Newell offered what might sound either like hope for more Half-Life or a gentle warning that it might never actually happen, depending on how you read it. "The only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why [they did]," he said. "But you know if you want to do another Half-Life game and you want to ignore everything we've learned in shipping Portal 2 and in shipping all the updates on the multiplayer side, that seems like a bad choice. So we'll keep moving forward. But that doesn't necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean." |

VAC System CS:GO Error happened to me
Yeah, today while I was helping a friend who wanted to train his aim on a private server, I got kicked because of the "Something is blocking the VAC system" error.
I literally jumped from my chair as soon as I read VAC, but then I fixed it by executing some cmd commands and rebooting my PC.
How the hell did that happen? I mean, I've got only Steam, Origin, Chrome, MS Essentials AntiVir and ESL Wire installed on my PC. I didn't install anything new these days nor changed my Windows 7 settings.
How will I prevent it from happening again disconnecting me from possible MM games or CW?
This is the first time that I'm experiencing issues with the VAC system, and from now on I'll be afraid of it :P

Steam Support and Pure frustration
So a week ago my friends account got hacked. Using his account the hacker got me to click a link which somehow gave control of my account to him and he sold all my items on the community market. I put in a ticket immediately. This was 3/5/15. I have gotten no response from steam support and I'm getting very pissed off. What am i supposed to do?

[Ranking Up]
Hi, my name is Tello, and I'm a Gold Nova 2 player!
I was just wondering about ranking up etc, and I wanted to know if you guys had set any goals for yourselves? I set a goal on the 07/02/2015 that I wanted to reach Gold Nova Master - Master Guardian rank by my birthday, on the 18/06 this year.
So, when I made that goal I was then, a Silver Elite Master, but now, just over a month later, the 18/03/2015, I'm a Gold Nova 2! So now I realise that well there's pretty much dead on 3 months to gain 2-4 ranks, which I think's possible. Do you guys have any goals for yourselves??
I've learned alot actually, since becoming a Gold Nova, I realised there's NOT that much of a difference between being SEM and GN1-2, there's alot of decent SEM's out there. I've learned alot of new tricks, smokes, flashes, nades, my aim's got alot better, I bet alot, lost all my skins XD, found more strategy in the game, sort of learned to Bhop, so what about you guys?
Good day everyone!;)

I've learned alot of new tricks, smokes, flashes, nades, my aim's got alot better, I bet alot, lost all my skins XD, found more strategy in the game, sort of learned to Bhop, so what about you guys?
Good day everyone!;)

Grief hosts kicking right before end - and what to do about it.
Okay, so, I'm so salty you could cure pork just by rubbing it over my skin.
Was in a brutal series of missions, looking forward to a big PAYDAY... Then "wait, why did the host kick that guy?"
> You have been kicked.
> Rewards? Jack smack ♥♥♥♥ake mushrooms.
This is just aggravating.
On the other hand, you can't just say "You can't kick people," or "you can't kick people after X point," because that would invite an entirely different type of griefing, and of course, hosts would complain they have a right to control their computers, etc.
So, I have a solution. If the host kicks you, you go to a limbo screen where you wait for the results of the mission. If it was the PAYDAY mission and the mission is finished, you get a full share of loot, full rewards, etc, just as if you'd finished it. (account appropriately for if the player in question was in custody at the time of their kick.)
If you were mid-way through a mission series, after the mission is over, you become a host of that mission yourself, preserving your progress.

Hey everyone,
I just want to let all of you know about a football game I have been developing for over a year. I know that it is a niche to find football fans in the gaming community. So fellow football fans, this is for you.
The philosophy I have had for years is to make a football game that is a true simulation of the game, but also offers great flexibility. Here are just some of the features for you:
We currently have a Kickstarter campaign running, which is where you can find out the most information about the game. If this is a game you'd like to play, go ahead and back us. http://ift.tt/1MICpvg
The visuals aren't anything impressive at the moment. This is explained in the Kickstarter and is one of the main reasons for it.
We are also up on Steam Greenlight. If you want people to have a football game available for computer on Steam, drop us a Yes vote. http://ift.tt/1MICpLu

A single addition that could make the FaN good
First off, reloading with one shot left in the clip shouldn't discard it.
But more importantly, I think that the FaN should mini-crit airborne enemies(like the direct hit, not like the reserve shooter)because while it has potential for great burst damage, with its high fire rate and extra pellets, the knockback of the first shot will make the second one deal very low damage.
Thoughts?

Second Steamapps folder, do I need it?
So my C drive is nearly full, and I seemed to have gained a lot of crap recently and don't know why.
My computer was bugged recently so I reinstalled Steam.
I go to check my normal steam folder:
http://ift.tt/1AW23E9
Inside my Steamapps folder is... another steamapps folder!
http://ift.tt/1AW21MP
Inside there is basically all the stuff inside the other steamapps folder:
http://ift.tt/1AW2235
HOWEVER, in that second folder, there aren't any of my new games under "common." Everything I've installed since I reinstalled Steam doesn't show up.
I've uninstalled most of my games from Control Pannel, but my computer is still almost full.
Is that second steamapps folder redundant? Can/should I get rid of it?
