If it's permanent F2P, this is probably not the right thread to post this game.

I don't understand how I can see my Amazon Prime games library. For months I have been adding games via https://gaming.amazon.com/loot but if I load up the Twitch pc app I can't see my library anywhere. I have downloaded a handful of games at some point because I have a folder of them on my pc. hlp pls

I've always used this link to claim stuff https://www.twitch.tv/prime which now redirects to https://gaming.amazon.com/ which looks same as you, and I added Dead Age yesterday and I see it's in my Twitch PC app library (Games tab). Have you ever accessed your library there? Back in the day when I first started claiming stuff, I had to link my Amazon and Twitch accounts for the sharing to work.

It *should* show up in the Twitch app, but Amazon has been pushing for people to use their standalone game app now.https://download.amazongames.com/AmazonGamesSetup.exe

I just double checked and it is definitely linked to my Amazon account, thanks.

Thanks. I'll download that and see how I get on. Hopefully that means I can uninstall the Twitch app as I never use Twitch.

Just got an email with my Overwatch code from Boston Uprising but the code doesn't work (and I don't own Overwatch). Anyone else have this issue?

How did they even know? Haha. Maybe I should have tried to use a VPN beforehand.

Yeah, I use it over the Twitch app as it's much faster/streamlined.

I wanted to use the Amazon app at first, but I had the weirdest issue with it. Whenever I'd try to install a game, it wouldn't let me change the directory from the default, and it was always reporting that there was no space free in the destination (despite there being plenty). Amazon support was no help at all and I ended up just using the Twitch app instead, which is now showing my library as empty, too.

I guess it's time to see if they fixed the Amazon one.

This may not be the best place for this, but wasn't sure where else to ask. If anyone is a Viveport Annual member, there's a promo running to snag a free to keep copy of Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. You can also claim if you sign up. That said, I haven't had any luck actually getting the game to add to my owned library, despite being an annual member and multiple attempts at contacting support.

I may have asked this before, but with all the SNK arcade games on Amazon Prime, is there any way to play these games with an arcade stick? I can't find any button configuration tools in their shitty app and what's the point of giving away a mountain of arcade/fighting games if you're forced to play them with a keyboard...

Probably. Like anything that's non on Steam either run DS4windows if it's a PS4 controller, or maybe it just works with an xbox controller, or add the game to Steam yourself.

Like those other ds4tools, but sexier. Contribute to Ryochan7/DS4Windows development by creating an account on GitHub.

Thanks, I feel dumb. Adding it to steam as a non-steam game does the trick. :)

Ackshually... developers can support the PS4 controller with no need for the Steam controller layer. For whatever reason, it's more common for indies to support it; my own game detects and supports DS4 controllers, and display the appropriate button icons, even in its DRM free / Humble store version. :)

Next week is Kingdom New Lands as a repeat while the 'new' game is Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (from 2013)







Can someone explain to me, why the unfurl='true' tag works on this link that I have copied from Piccoro's post further up in this thread, but not on my links?

Did the embedded media at some point work for epicgames.com, but now it doesn't accept any new links?

Resetera clearly bought out by Steam, which even has store integration. :)

In all seriousness now, the only thing I can imagine is that Era scrapes some metainformation that isn't (yet?) set on EGS pages for some of the later games.

Steam app now says Sonic 2 is in my library and ready to install, but when I view and search my library, no sign of it there.

So... super strange. I added Sonic 2 to my library and it gave me the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis entry on my library... and it has changed the art work on every sega game in my library to the same artwork laid over to make it look like a random Sega system box art. Crazy taxi looks like a genesis game, Bayonetta has a Saturn layover, NiGHTS has a Game Gear layover...

It looks like this:

Screenshot-2020-10-10-121129.png


I literally have no idea how to undo this. I actually permanently removed the Genesis collection from my library via Steam Support, and rebooted steam but no effect. Anybody have any idea how to reset all the game tiles to their defaults? It's... super odd.
