I've been trying to play Spiral Knights, but it keeps failing at the login screen. I tried going into offline mode like was suggested a page or so back, but that didn't work either. Are their servers just getting hammered by people like me who are trying it out on Steam?

That ain't the big problem for me anyway. It is that I can't change resolutions without this crap crashing.

Yeah for some reason the game is running terribly. So many random pauses. It might be a server problem, but the game worked fine on my older, less powerful computer.

Also I guess you don't get jack if you already got the achievements when the game came out months ago. I DEMAND A VINTAGE SPIRAL SALLET.

You'll still get the hat once they get a way to link the old account and your Steam account

I actually don't think the hat is one day only.

Fallout New Vegas is 75% off on Direct2drive. The game is steamplay so no reason not to buy

Can I purchase form d2d.co.uk from Germany and with a German CC card? Game isn´t on sale in Germany or the German site just sucks. Well, it´d suck even if the game is on sale.

Spiral Knights w/ Steamworks is pretty cool. It automatically adds steam friends to your list, and adds voice chat to the game.

I have another question if GAF will indulge me, what happens with SteamPlay? Do all games on both platforms have it so you only have to buy it once? Is it always retroactive too? If I bought SMB today, when the Mac version comes out will I own it?

Thanks for the code! Just bought this. I watched my brother play a bit of this recently, it came off as the better game over 3.

Stacked with the 75% off? It's a little over $10 with that. Def worth a buy.

Yeah, you'll own it on Mac when it is ported over.

Yeah I played the game before and the Steamworks additions are really nice. Looks like all games have Steam Wallet function as well. I'd like to see more Free to Play games like APB Reloaded and Vindictus.

Quote from EA:
"It's unfortunate that Steam has removed Crysis II from their service. This was not an EA decision or the result of any action by EA. Steam has imposed a set of business terms for developers hoping to sell content on that service--many of which are not imposed by other online game services. Unfortunately, Crytek has an agreement with another download service which violates the new rules from Steam and resulted in its expulsion of Crysis II from Steam."

Wow, so much for that huge discussion we had about EA yesterday. I wonder if we'll ever find out what rule(s). I guess the rules might be NDA'd or something so we can't even know?

Maybe Valve put in new rules regarding having enough keys.
Click to expand...
I can't tell if you're joking or not, but as someone pointed out, it seems unlikely that Crysis 2 sells enough to run out of keys at a non-sale price midway through a random summer week.

Here's another 15% off Direct2Drive code if that one above runs out. NOTE: these are referral codes. They get me (or the other guy) a 20% off coupon in the future. No money is gained or anything.

this link should keep you up-to-date with 15% off codes.

About how long does it take to reach the first clockwork terminal? I've only completed the tutorial so far, and reached the first zone/town (forget what it's called now).

Really happy about that Fallout New Vegas. I wonder if D2D is ever going to stop letting the 15% off codes stack, it's pretty crazy how good of deals they're giving.

Spiral Knights is actually pretty enjoyable. For some reason I haven't unlocked the achievements despite doing the necessary things. Anyone else having this problem?

I ended up with an IGN prime account (had a Fileplanet Sub for WoW patches and I think they upgraded everyone to Prime), so I have been getting 15% off everything on D2D, on top of sales. Really handy for preorders which are already 10% off. If a game is Steamplay, I get it first day for $38.25 off D2D and transfer over my key.

"Your coupon or discount is not valid for the product in your cart."

I can't seem to get the codes to work.... ever. :(

edit : seems the codes are region restricted. Boo-urns.

I already have NV on steam. If you want I can buy it for you, send you the key, and you can pay me back via paypal. Send me a PM.
