Anyone know why my PC, out of nowhere, is starting to feel laggy?

When I move my cursor around my blank desktop, it feels normal. But if I open up the Start menu, or move around Chrome, the sluggishness is very noticeable.

Playing videos and games seem to work fine, so hopefully it's nothing major. I'm just not sure why this happened out of nowhere

Butsbal revocations were about what I'd figured. (link)
[developer] said:
First of all I'm sorry for revoking your keys.

To clear things up: I noticed that keys are still being activated from the IndieGameStand and Desura Sources. So I wanted to revoke any unused keys. But by mistake I also revoked the keys that were activated. Which you guys noticed. These keys were all Desura keys. Sadly I can't undo this. So my only option is to resend a key to you all.

So best and easiest way for me to fix it is if you guys forward me the email you received from steam or IndieRoyale then I'll replay them with a new key as soon as possible! [email protected]

Sorry again! :(

The escort mission in ch4 of Resonance of fate.

When you're underleveled and have no grenades too.

The entire last fight is basically....

I did it blind second try, just using the upgrades you get as reward (I never craft or shop in games). Probably wasn't underleveled, though (I certainly was for the following chapter).

But it's a dumb mission. The stupid thing just takes off the second you move the center character, and the enemies target it almost exclusively (it doesn't help that you can also hit it, and it takes damage if you try to block it).

You should have a fourth bezel by then. It really helps if you can just spam tri-attacks on the boss.

New beta client version today.

I wonder what counts as a significant improvement.
Anyway, the Steam Input change seems great if you happen to use DS4 Windows or Input Mapper and such but still want correct glyphs in supported games. Assuming that does what it sounds like it does.
Where can I see this option?
Steam Input
  • Added the ability to change controller type in the "Define Layout" screen. This only affects the glyphs and configurations recommended for the device and the limits of whatever low-level API the controller is read through still apply. For example if a PS4 controller is currently treated as an Xbox controller because of a driver or non-Steam Input remapping software presenting the device over Xinput reclassifying it to a PS4 controller will only correct the glyphs and the gyro/trackpad will not work.
I opted into Steam Beta, restarted the client, even entered into BPM and it appears I have the latest Beta build, but I don't see that Define Layout button at all.

Mad Max is a fairly competent open world game and the setting really helps it, I enjoyed it a fair bit - however, it has one of the single worst designed "boss" encounters near the end of the story I've come across in modern games that left a bad taste in my mouth and honestly, if you are the kind of person that wants to complete campaigns, I would recommend against it. The open world is fine but the racing events (which should be a big part of the game) were not especially fun, either.

I didn't even get that far. It's a fun game and I sunk a good 26 hours on it, but it pushes its side content on you so aggressively that I had already gotten my fill of the main gameplay loop before I was anywhere near done the story. Maybe I'll come back to it someday, though.

But I played them on there to save money. How ironic!

I think my friends are funny because they are on steam and really use steam as more of a chat client because mostly they are playing Battlefield or Overwatch. The best part is they often will buy a game or two a month and then it's back to Battlefield lol.

I run everything thru Steam so often I am playing on other clients or consoles (I stream so I can use my controller of choice lol) , despite being signed on Steam.

This winter break my buddy and I plan to play some coop stuff on steam since in the past it's been more Xbox windows store stuff since I didn't have a powerful enough PC and Xbox pc crossplay let him play on his insane setup while I played on the x.

Durante needs to post a list one day of recommend coop games on steam.

Resonance of Fate looks rad. Hoping for a sale in the near future.

Too many games. Too many.
Obra Dinn looks rad too. PC almost has as many games as Switch at this point. Crazy.

It's not the best port, but the gameplay is really good (SO4 is one of the only games I actually finished in the last year, and I'm enjoying the combat in this just as much so far).

It's definitely a neat game. (I don't know how tri-Ace is really going to handle their new publisher duties as far as putting things on sale and such.)

Oh boy Velasco this is definitely the last push I needed to play the KOTOR games. Thank you very much!

Man, I don't have any of the games from WB's bundle LOL I think I might pick up the 1$ tier because I'm not really interested on Injustice and I beated Bastion on the Vita this year. Still, it's pretty good in my view!
You're welcome.Enjoy the game!

8 Hours in. Just got to the second of 5 maps. It's 5 am, I've played it non-stop. Yeah, it's a little good. Just a little.

Actually seems to have cRPG like choice and consequence. There's a side quest early on, to recover stolen gold and silver that was looted from a Temple. I did that, but then decided to keep the plunder for myself because wars cost money. Well, the Priestess weren't too happy about that, and later on, like 5 hours later, a character refused to join my party because he saw I had the stolen gold and silver. FeelsBadMan.

The game also looks fantastic. A+ visual style. I find it strange that reviewers said that the writing is "dry", because I'm chuckling at a good portion of the dialogue. There's some oddball characters in this one.

Seeing character and locations you know from the books is really cool, as someone who is a massive witcher fan since playing the first game in 2007.

Just wish they had supported ultrawide out of the box at launch. I'll try hex edit it, but it'll probably break everything.

Because I've seen a similar comment in other threads, I'll say that just because you played Gwent in TW3 doesn't mean that you've played this. The mechanics are completely different. I will say as someone who has put around 300 hours in the MP Gwent standalone, it's a bit easy, even on Bonebreaker difficulty. Maybe it'll get more challenging later, but I can already see strategies that trivialize most encounters.

3 weeks and still no Mega Man 11 patch and completely unable to get past the loading screen yet. SIGH

Has there been another big pc release where people were unable to even start the game? Seems fucking absurd to me.

It's a kickstarter game and it looks pretty cool! A Roguelite Strategy game basically (There's even a demo for it)
The theme for the game seem's really cool as well aesthetically

Maybe not the right place for it, but for the latest bundle I'm interested in Mordor and Mad Max only, anyone buying the tier 2 bundle interested in some sort of deal?

Thronebreaker is very tempting. Would be nice to have on Steam, but it feels more and more like Galaxy is becoming stable and wortwhile to use.

Had some issues with around the time of the release of Divinity 2, where the client would get so stuck in update loops that I had to reinstall it, but it's quite a while since I had an issue with it now.

Thing that still annoys me about Galaxy (not that I use it much to launch games since I usually launch them directly) is the time it takes to update the client. Steam seems to download updates while it's running and then upon the next launch install the update invisibly, without the need for any progress bar jazz like Galaxy has when launching.

I'm a few hours in and definitely, yes. The writing and characters are excellent. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and I find that screenshots don't do it justice. The sound effects and animations playing contribute just as much.

I never played a lot of Gwent outside of The Witcher game but it's pretty easy to pick up if you know the basics. And even here almost every battle has a twist to it or one specific solution. They're like puzzles.

my favorite story of the day, BF5 dev is so good at Blops 4 he was aimed, presumably for accusations of aimbotting lol :D



he even posted a video of his play (apparently he used to be a pro? cause he's ridiculous)

Worst thing about Gog Galaxy is the few GBs of crap data the client puts on your boot drive.
Uninstallers for every game, icon caches, etc.

So this is neat, Super Meat Boy just got a 199.8MB update for its 8th anniversary. Looks like it was to add the 2015 soundtrack (used in PS4/PS Vita/Wii U/Switch) as an option. It shows up in Settings > Audio, letting you select between 2015 and 2015. While I much much prefer the 2010 Danny Baranowsky OST, it's still great to have the option for both! Also neat is that you can change the music during gameplay via pause menu.

Apparently this also fixed a autojump glitch (6th post down), which may affect speed runs going forward
