They couldn't fix it since 2017, I used it once for playing Quake Champions closed beta, and it was pure garbage. And you know what? When Fallout 76 released, I've read complains from other users about exactly the same problems that I experienced in 2017 with that "launcher". At this point, Bethesda would rather accept epic store exclusivity than bother fixing it.
If only the console versions supported m/kb. Oh well.
Mode 7, of Frozen Synapse fame, are ending their former focus on game development, for publishing and smaller projects, with one half of the founders quitting game development.

A bit of a shame, but Frozen Synapse 2 really had some large issues, that prevented to be enjoyable IMHO.
And Frozen Cortex, the game before that, is something I've had in my Steam library for years, but still don't really get.

If you are in the US, don't do this. Activision keys are region locked AFAIK. Someone else can chime in if I'm wrong.
I bought Frozen Synoase 2 at launch and what a disappointing turn. Tho given the launch issues, generally poorly thought out mechanics, and delayed response over the last half year not surprising.
There is no global retail sub. Sekiro's retail key regions are composed of Asia Pacific, Middle-east + Africa, Eastern Europe, Central/Western Europe, Central/South America + Mexico, and the rest of North America + Puerto Rico, and all of those packages are heavily region locked (i.e. activation and runtime-restricted).

Today I heard on Era that Sekiro, from FromSoftware whose souls games sell over a million is a niche game and Yoshi, releasing on 1 plattform will easily beat a game that has a loyal fanbase and is selling on 3 plattforms.
Both Evil Within games are great but very different, and 10 dollars for one of the best games in recent years is absurd. Please give it a go, if you don't want to play the first for whatever reason the sequel is self contained
I got Frozen Cortex at launch (beta even, I remember it being called Frozen Endzone).
I really enjoyed it, but there weren't many people who seemed to agree with me.

I have no idea if Sekiro will end up being a game I like or not, but I have to say that people on Era seem relatively "down" on Sekiro compared to pretty much anywhere else I look. Given how well other FromSoftware games are regarded here, it's unexpected.
I'll buy American Truck Simulator when they realize Colorado's mountain highways are the best in the country lol
*tho bad for a trading game with two lanes and slow speeds

Yeah, SCS really stepped it up with ATS after they completely reworked the base map and all DLC going forward.
If my numbers are correct they essentially doubled the length of all routes to create a longer time-scale between destinations.
Great stuff.
Honestly if they add my state I'll buy it to support it but I'll never understand long haul driving games as someone who has done multiple thousand plus mile trips. So tedious!

They also added detours to ATS, which is cool (and maybe a little annoying at times).
I'm thinking of getting Sekiro from there too, do they send out keys early or do you have to wait until the release date?
ATS was in the October Monthly (the one with Overwatch), and the Jumbo Bundle from 2017. ETS was in a bunch of Humble Bundles in 2013-2015.
It's still four days away. Generally speaking, publishers don't enable pre-loads on Steam until two or three days before release.
When will Valve release the client overhaul? I feel I heard "soon" before summer 2 years ago.
OK cool, I see that's it's super cheap on the Ubisoft Store right now... Does it run well on modern PCs?
I truly loved the first one, and I was really looking forward to 2, but having tried it in two different PCs, the game runs like absolute crap. No matter the settings. My current setup is somewhat beefy and the damn game just won't run decently no matter what. It's kind of amazing. Have never had it happen before.
I lived in Denver for a few years and we have a family friend who runs a restaurant way out in Creede (Mineral Co.).
It's roughly a 4 1/2 hour drive SW out of Denver and one of the most scenic routes I've ever taken. Up into the Rocky's with switchbacks that'll make your cheeks clench and back down in to aquifer basin where your sight-lines can stretch for hundreds of miles.
Still visit Kip every couple-few years. And man, that drive from Denver to Creede is the stuff of legends.
They've literally started the overhaul already, so i'd say it's actually soon.
Valve has tweaked the design of numerous website-related things in recent weeks (e.g. pop-up windows now match the Steam Friends settings window), so I imagine it's not too far off... relatively speaking.
Edit: Beaten.
Except we've seen actual changes that are part of the overhaul since this year began. Hell, that tweet above is yet another one.
Im not gonna believe anything until Valve actually releases it.
That's my my way for anything Valve-related.
