(Previous threads: 2012-2014, 2014-2017, 2018-2019, 2020-2022) Regular maintenance happens about 4pm PST Tuesdays. If Steam goes down around then, that's probably why. Head to Steamstat.us to verify that it's not just you. Want to join the official Something Awful group? Head thataway. IRC. Still kicking. Details here. If you prefer Mumble, we've got that too. It's the goddamned Steam thread, you know why you're here. Post about PC games. Don't post about other clients.

FAQ I have a problem! General rules of thumb to try first: a) If it’s a specific game that’s having problems, right click the problem game > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity b) If that doesn’t work, or if it’s a client issue, shut down Steam, go to the Steam folder, and delete/rename ClientRegistry.blob, then start Steam up again. c) Restart your computer. Works surprisingly often. The Steam client is super slow! Try either of these: a) Go to Settings > Web Browser > Delete Cache. b) Alternatively, launch the Control Panel, go to Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and uncheck “Automatically detect settings”. Uplay is broken! Since Assassin's Creed 2 in 2009, nearly all games on Steam come bundled with a required launcher called Uplay. The problem is that nobody updated the installers, meaning that 2009-2011 ish Ubisoft games now attempts to install a completely broken launcher that refuses to update. The solution: download the new version of this client first. Trust me, this saves a lot of headaches. This game/DLC sucks/just went on sale after I bought it/is busted/. Can I get my money back? With some exceptions (that tell you prior to purchasing the thing), yes you can, so long as you've bought it within the last two weeks and haven't played it for more than two hours. If you're within these rules, full refunds are available, automatic and are (largely) quibble-free. Is G2A/Kinguin/G2Play dodgy? Yes, very dodgy. These sites resell keys. They don't give a crap if said keys are stolen or fraudulent. You are strongly advised to avoid G2A, G2Play and Kinguin.

Warhams 40k Xcom has been pretty good so far. Other than mediocre performance, but it's not as relevant for a turn-based game.

Did my final scoop-up of the sale - I picked up Deity Empires, Globesweeper, Illwinter's Floor Plan Generator and Transcendence, because it's finally time I paid for Transcendence. And Ord, which is a little text-based game where each scene is only three words and you get to click one word in response. Like Zork but for cavemen. Someone mentioned it in the (very cool) hidden gems thread.

Thanks for talking about MW5 in the last thread, I bought it all and have been loving the career mode with the one DLC. Also did some co-op with a friend on gamepass and the cross play stuff works flawlessly. I assume I won't be able to invite non dlc havers to a career campaign?
