    Earlier I played two hours of Dark Messiah, but now it seems to crash whenever I load a saved game. So far it has crashed 5 times while loading three different saved games. I even tried starting a new game (which worked) and then load a saved game (which caused a crash).

    It get's made even weirder by the fact that I during my two hour session actually went back to a previous saved game at some point and there were certainly no problems with reloading the last saved game whenever I died.

    I got that a lot when I played it too, a year or so ago.

    Was there something you could do other than start over again?

    Not that I remember, I think I just ended up constantly saving in new slots, so when one failed, I didn't lose that much time.

    I can't run Messiah. It downloaded fine, but when I double click it a dialog comes up saying that files need to be verified, then the progress bar fills instantly, the box disappears, and no game appears. It's not running in the processes or anything.

    Yep. I got it today, it's pretty awesome for £5 but the lack of turret variety is disappointing.

    Do we have a group for high scores and if not how do we make one?

    Okay chaps, could do with some advice here. My girlfriend's trying to install Steam and is getting this error while it's attempting to update after the install
    steam.exe (main exception): unable to load library Steam.dll

    Any ideas or suggestions? Is it likely a firewall blocking part of the update?

    I would hazard a guess at your steam.dll file being missing, corrupt or in the wrong folder.

    Make a copy of your Steam.dll file in the main steam folder and replace hers with it. Or reinstall steam.

    I started playing on Normal, and I'm finding it annoying as well. People say the combat is awesome, but I'm just not seeing it. It's monotonous to the point that I don't want to take it slow in order to avoid hits all the time. I want to beat up this enemy so I can move on quickly, but it still takes an age for each dude. And in my haste to rush through enemies I get hit too often, meaning that I never have much health.

    As far as I can tell, you are suppose to put every skillpoint in melee for a while. Seems like the only thing that would make it reasonable. Kicking + throwing things makes combat a lot easier too.

    Yeah she's reinstalling it at the moment, we'll see how it goes.
    I googled it and saw some other issues with it from a few years ago (strangely) and some tried sticking a copied Steam.dll file in there, got a request for another missing file, then on replacing that Steam just didn't seem to work properly.
    I wondered if there's something on her computer or the Uni network that's filtering some parts of the install.

    Cheers, I managed to find that guide a little earlier and it does look like that's the problem, although her XP firewall is disabled and it doesn't seem like there's another one on the PC. Either Norton is being a dick or the Uni network is filtering stuff.

    Norton is so evil it requires a Norton Removal Tool

    Use it to KILL Norton, then laugh maniacally, then install AVG or Avast! and continue your life without the worry of Norton not liking your actions.

    My biggest beef with their "trap" system, so far, is I don't see them until it is too late. I am apparently trying to be too sneaky and attack from afar.

    Hey, they've got Sega Rally Revo listed for $10, but they also have Sega Rally listed for $20. When I went to check to see if that was the original Sega Rally, I get the This item is currently unavailable in your region message. I'm in the US.

    Can anyone overseas check and see if this is the original Sega Rally for me?
