I decided to play SiN (that FPS from 1998 by Ritual Entertainment), since i got it bundled with SiN Episodes. And damn, for FPS this game have some impressively hard and complex design. Inventory, stealth missions, environment puzzles, primary and secondary objectives, security computers with command prompt... This game is hard, i can't imagine how modern player who missed 90's can beat it without detailed guide. It also didn't aged well technically, UI didn't have scaling and everything is too small on 1080p, NPC models have some weird pulsating effect and look like jelly beans in motion, and main hero is sliding around like on ice.

Is there some new steambug going around?
Cant open Steam anymore. Reinstalled it, worked well, but as soon as I readd my steam library folder, steambootstraper.exe has stopped working...
Edit: Seems Im not the only one though:

Were the other Tony Hawk games ever on Steam?
Nope.
Of course. Roughly double what you're getting at the moment, assuming you're currently syncing at 8Mbps and your line length is "short" enough to sync at 16Mbps.

Then either my router is acting up or i neeed have a talk with my isp
Are you actually syncing at 16Mbps? If you're a fair distance from the node/exchange or your line is otherwise rather long, then upgrading your plan isn't going to do anything. My ADSL connection topped out at ~7.5Mbps.

Seriously. Its fucking me up.
As soon as I add my Steam library, Steam Client Bootsstrapper stops working...
I just wonder if its a Steam Update that broke it or that new CS:Go Update.
So many people experiencing the same problem since today:

Yeah. Doesnt work.
If I uninstall Steam, then reinstall it, I can log in (most of the times). As soon as I add my library, the SteamClientBootstraper stops working.
So I just wonder if its a new Steam Update that broke it for some folks or the CS:Go Update.
At least it seems that some people experience the same issue I have also since today.

Could this possibly be a megabyte/sec vs megabit/sec confusion?
Tried turning off your antivirus? Worked for me, bitdefender sucks megaballs.
Chairmanchuck
Member
I dont even have an Antivirus besides WindowsDefender. Also turned it off, but didnt help.
I think it has something to do with a game in my library. If I reinstall Steam and havent added my library (which is on another HDD) Steam works. As soon as I add it, it crashes and I cant log in anymore.
I can log in with an account that doesnt have my family sharing though. My wifes one, which I share my library with though, also cant log in from my PC (but from her Macbook, but she is using the Mac Steam).

Huh, i just found that you can see how much games in specific categories by clicking on "games" text in search field.
I had weird bug few months ago when Steam suddenly started refusing to log in through client. Your case seems little different but at least you should try to change download region to anything else in Settings -> Downloads.

So a new Humble (yes we still do bundles, it's kinda in the name) Bundle in 6ish hours?
Humble Software Bundle encore
Humble "You thought there was a bundle today, but it was me, Dio" Bundle
I have 5 ~100 hour games, 5 ~50 hour games and all others are short, so not like I'm skipping long games, I just play all my short games together with long ones.

I think I'm at 29 so far this year. Though I bought a PS4 at the start of the year and 20 out of 29 are on it, only 9 on steam.
Also anyone have thoughts about Black: The fall?
It's coming out in a few hours and in a similar vein to Inside/Limbo with a bit more colour. It was apparently in EA but it completely slipped me by.

not sure what you mean by that, I read everything, I haven't done any extra stuff, if that's what you are asking, I also thought I went through all "choices", but apparently I missed something cuz I didn't get one cheevo I should have had. And what is worse there is no way to see which negative end I missed, sigh.
Sounds like you didn't. This (House in Fata Morgana spoilers) is what I'm talking about
I almost never checked backlog, why would I?
sigh
you wanna say me you just noticed it, just like that? lol
Yeah, it was accidental. Which made for a great wth moment.
This is only a door 4 thing. I'm not even sure if I caught all of the extra text. Now I'm in the mood to reread that chapter :/

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I don't play a lot of mobile games, but I was thinking of at least picking up the dollar tier of the latest mobile bundle. A bunch of those Kemco games look suspiciously like Final Fantasy Tactics or SNES RPGs. I dig some RPGMaker games for a dollar. Anyone play them and think they're not even worth a dollar?
If you take into account the refund period of late steam sale purchases, it's still too soon for that.
Lately the only HB bundles worth mentioning are the mobile ones. They've been really good.
Received my Surface Pro 4 yesterday. Such a fantastic work laptop. It will be used to writing, noting and browsing the web. Installed a few games on it too, but don't think I'll ever touch them. I mean, I barely touch games on my desktop gaming PC.
Where do you play games then?

Last mobile one was stupid because a lot of the games were on steam and I would have bought if it was the same games but...PC bundle.
I'm at 23 on the 52 games a year challenge. At this rate I'm certainly going to beat my 2014 and 2015 counts, but getting to 52 might prove challenging. Unless I specifically target some shorter games.
Yeah, that gives me some heavy Another World + Inside vibes.

The script of XII is clearly been reworked quite a few times and Vaan wasn't meant to be the big focus he ended up being, they didn't change the story and other characters enough to make it sensible. So by the second half, your "protagonist" feels like the sixth wheel or something.
It will probably be a new good indie bundle. That is what usually happens right after sales.

I reviewed Black The Fall (PS4 version) on Cubed3. http://www.cubed3.com/review/4013/1/black-the-fall-playstation-4.html

Beating a certain optional boss in Hollow Knight wins you respect from all the minions in that region, pretty neat.
He probably waits for Rainway to come out, so he is finally able to play them on his Switch.

This is why I can now download bigger games on Steam without the hassle of waiting for a day for the download to complete. More like an hour now.
My previous peak was 0.7 MB/s.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
That's just a discount because they no longer have to fund white supremacists.

Isn't it mandatory?

I'd like to move up to 250Mbps, but the plans are prohibitively expensive and will likely remain so under the current government as literally nobody on the awful FTTN portion of the network that it's solely responsible for (the previous government wanted to roll out FTTP to all but the outer-regional/rural 7% of the population, who'd instead be serviced by either fixed wireless or satellite) syncs anywhere near 250Mbps.
One of the current government's claims in the lead-up the leadership-changing election was that since FTTN uses existing phone lines, the fixed-line footprint would be larger. The opposite happened. Hooray for partisan politics.
