Early Access [Steam] Thread

Stilts

I am proud to announce that the Steam thread (which made 300% of its funding goal on Kickstarter) is now available for open alpha.

Features include single player, multiplayer (requires port forwarding and making blood sacrifices to the packet gods) and a menu screen that probably won't give you a BSOD.

Textures and story content will be released in the next update.

I want my crowdfunding money back because stilts dared to hire a woman

But how long will it take to get through Greenlight

Will this kickstarter allow me to spend more money in the future? Perhaps under the guise of sales?

Tallahasseeriel

Grim Dawn is good early access.

It's still an alpha apparently but it's very stable and a very well rounded game if incomplete so far.

Trying to decide if I should go back and try to finish Dawn of War 2 campaign before they pull the plug on GFWL.

Oh yeah, those games'll be inaccessible afterward, won't they?

I still haven't played the expansion packs I bought.

Tallahasseeriel

Wait when does gfwl go down? I need to beat dark souls

Tallahasseeriel

Okay cool I've got time im almost to the end.

Brainleech

I am really scared as some of the games I enjoy that are regrettably under the GFWL might go away
Hopefully they don't

WeedLordVegeta

I think that OP's gonna be really good in 3 months

Poorochondriac

My video card should theoretically get here today

But that's assuming FedEx tracking is right, which I have decided throughout this travail to be absolute horseshit

I just wanna build this dang thing!

Tallahasseeriel

AC Liberation actually is pretty cool so far.

The Bohemia Interactive weekly humble bundle includes ArmA 1 & 2, just in case you were looking to get into the original DayZ right as everyone else is leaving it for the new one

Anime Toast, Valve is watching you.

Professor Snugglesworth

Quick question: I'm in a hotel dorm for four months, and their paid wifi service includes the following options:

1. Basic Internet (1 Mbps max): $29.99 per month or $79.99 three months

2. Standard Internet: 2.5 Mbps max): $39.99 a month or $99.95 3 months

3. Premium Internet (5 Mbps max): $49.99 a month or $119.95 three months.

Based on all the Steaming and Streaming I'll probably be doing the next four months, should I opt into the premium service, or will standard be sufficient?

marty_0001

I would be more concerned with data allowance. My house rocks about 2.6Mbps, which is mega slow, but I get unlimited data so it's no trouble to just let things download overnight.

Also I can't really watch youtube or stream anything while steam is downloading.

Fyndir

When you say "max" do you mean that it's listed as "up to" that speed? It may mean that you'll probably get a crappy speed 90% of the time, so it may not be worth paying for.

The allowance is probably more important really.

Tallahasseeriel

I sometimes get about 15% more speed from my cable than I'm supposed too.

But then, their cap sucks for as much streaming and steam stuff we use.

Also they kinda run all competition out of town so their prices are insane.

If I wanted their top speed it's like 200 bucks a month for 100 megabits p/s

The have a 50 but it's still 100 bucks a month, and the 35 I get is 80.

If I moved 37 miles south of here to BG and got Time Warner I could get 50 megabits for the same price I pay here.

Poorochondriac

Holy crap I did it

I built a PC

It works and isn't on fire and everything is great and man oh man do I feel proud of myself

good job man, it's not so hard once you try it once.

Also I am having trouble with my music player freezing as it reads stuff off my old HDD.

It's confusing, all the smart data is fine...

Dongs Galore

the only thing that made me prouder than building my first PC was two years later when I took it apart to clean it and actually managed to put it all back together without breaking it

Cilla Black

Building a computer and it working first time no issue is the best feeling.

And only possible in the last 10 years

If you did so before then you are a liar and I will fight you

I was going to say I did this, but then I remembered the motherboard of my 2001 machine wasn't compatible with my CPU without a bios upgrade, so I had to buy a shitty $50 cpu so I could boot the machine and update the bios.

Plus seating the ram in that thing was a pain in the ass.

Pffff

Don't believe it

Shorty

so, this GFWL going away thing

does this mean that EVERY game that uses it simply can't be played anymore, as of June or whenever?

or are some companies trying to patch it out?

Cilla Black

Most companies seem to be patching in steam support.

Retribution is Steamworks so no rush on that one (except if you wanted to co-op it with someone wink wink) but yeah, Dawn of War 2 and Chaos Rising are GFWL

nidhogg is really hard

Steam has given me the chance to play Baldur's Gate 2 for the very first time.
