Hey everybody,
Hope everyone is having a good week this week since we have so many new releases coming out as we're gearing up for two major new consoles. But, I'm not having much of a good week here as of late since Steam has decided to be a friggen butthole and take 40 hours to download updates and not load the games it's supposed to load for me...oh, and not give the right options IN those games to be able to play them correctly.
I just bought Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, an immense FPARPG (First Person Action Role Playing Game) that bridges the gap between Diablo/Titan Quest intense action and leveling with Half Life 2's amazing graphics, storytelling, and physics. I load it in...install the game...and get ready to play it when all of a sudden my Steam account pops up and it has to UPDATE!! So...FOUR hours later...it's STILL updating. When I got the okay to play (and it's still updating as of now btw) I went to play it and it FROZE on a blank screen. *Sighs* Problems galore.
I had the same problem with Sin Episodes: Emergence. Spent money on the game, went to install it and it STILL doesn't work. Can't even go past the title screen without the computer freezing up on me and I'm runnin' on a beefy rig (Velocity Micro). Counter Strike Source doesn't fare very well either...and granted all these games I've paid for. Grrr...
Anybody else having problems with Steam these days?
