Re: That problem is not Microsoft's fault. |

I have it set to automated, and always had.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live\WLIDSVC.EXE
Set to AUTOMATED and RUNNING
That is the first thing I tried. It does not work for Arkham Asylum -> Game start, Game crash right after splash-screen. Obviously most up-to-date GFWL. Starting the marketplace app (which does nothing aside from being running, the service already runs) makes Arkham Asylum work (but not actually find my savegames because way back it ran without crashing, no idea why, and let me play for 30+ hours before it updated and broke my savegames unless I crack it and run it without GFWL)...
Starting the services was the first thing I tried. How you think I found out it works with marketplace running? I started Arkham for test with the service to manual and it failed to start (the service, and the game), so i figured an app that starts this service properly likely will make it work (And marketplace app works perfectly) but only when marketplace app actually runs does arkham log me in GFWL.
So yeah, incompetence for the lulz. It may be something odd the GMG version of Arkham does though.. who knows. In any case, it's an issue I should not be having with GFWL . Who really is to blame.. I don't give a damn  MS is to blame, because MS made it. |

Good to know that I use exactly 0 Microsoft services, only GFWL but If you'd ask me what games are registered to that I'd draw blank.. probably GTA IV (which I now play with xliveless ,p) and Arkham Asylum (Which I played with crack, because for some absurd reason when the game released, it saved my saves offline, so when I logged in my saves were gone. Only way to get them now is to force GFWL in offline mode, at which point I might as well remove it entirely.
Wow.. Thinking back, I don't think there ever was a GFWL game I did NOT have an issue of some kind with. Heck, even today when I try to start the uncracked Arkham Asylum the game CRASHES flat out, unless... get this, I manually start the actual GFW Marketplace application in windows, and LEAVE IT OPEN.
Or I crack it.
Not owning anything from MS is the only way to go through life. Sadly, my conviction stops at "Windows" because I have Windows 7 ultimate... and I love it. |

| This would be the 1 game where coop would be kinda needed indeed. But since the enemy AI is as braindead as your own units, that would be like putting lemmings into a lion cage. ;p |

To use this "mod" you hack files that PB assumes to be protected because there are weapon damage values in them besides color values  Anti Cheat would have no way to tell you are not cheating if you change these files at all. |

I know I still remember the talk from that Skyrim topic.. good to see you got it in an injector package now and not in enbseries ...
I actually tried it with Anno 2070 in default settings, and SMAA is a bit too low.. in turn, I can actually tell texture details apart now, the sharpener does it's job very well. (Anno 2070 is generally very blurry)... Guess I will do some tuning now ;p
And good to see that this sharpener does not destroy fonts.. and yeah, that puts your injector version with luma sharpener above all else. Only thing that I feel still needs to be done is a easy way to switch between 2 shader profiles. Essentially like "reload shader config" just.. it switches between 2 different ones... |

For real, the game looks incredible without this grey filter.
Just to goes to show that idiots without taste work at DICE. but that's been well known given how they tinted Metro in the beta (where it looked incredible at one point) into some blue tinted drug vision look alike |

| Heh, I actually think too large boobies are repulsive. So like opinions, everyone also has different taste. Highly doubt "all gamers" want large boobs in their games. I know at least 50% likely don't. But nobody ever asks them. ^^ |

| Pretty much what I read from it too. You get rewards when buying boxed copies, NILL if you buy on steam. Unless they simply forgot to mention Steam rewards... |

Same here, this is a huge HUH? The game is out for nearly a year.
Ah... Kalypso madness all over again.. German release was back in June which if you bought on Steam, means ENGLISH GAME.... "international" release (whatever that means) is only now.. wow. And really, they wonder why piracy exists. 6 Months delay to unlock a steam game for the NA region?

The Walrus improvement being that they still blow up if they ram a cactus.... get stuck in an eternal ballet dance around a waypoint they may well never reach and fail to reach the "resupply" depot and instead drive down a cliff and explode... and walls? Walrus don't care, full speed ahead till ya hit it with head.....
Ah.. there must be some weird causality whenever BIS and VEHICLE AI are involved in a game together. I mean.. ARMA 2 was bad (driving AI) but this.. this takes the cake
Walrusses do not drive over bridges.. noo.. they drive next to them.. even if that bridge spans a canyon. Walrus don't care.
For some reason I had to think of the walrus meme..... sorry   (And If there isn't a walrus don't care meme, there should be.. )
Edit: Gee, who'd ever thought typing walrus that often was this difficult

Fair enough, then they could make it an option as soon as the project made its 100% goal and it'd be fine too. But for sake of argument, paypal actually allows you to do that in a sort of way. You can request payment after all. And when the one wanting the money does this is his choice. So basically you don't "literally" pledge via paypal, you simply need a confirmed paypal account and "pledge" ie, you declare you are willing to give this and that amount .. Then, once the period is up and the goal is reached, the Kickstarter requests payment and gets funds.
It would require you coding a custom payment system... Although I don't see how this is any different from how Amazon Payments does it. One thing is for sure, Kickstarter is large enough to have someone at Paypal listen to their requests and questions on how to best facilitate the system if they really wanted to ;p
The only reason I (half) know how this could work, is because certain kickstarter "clones" support paypal sort of like that.
That said, once paypal is up for this I'll be supporting this as well. It just doesn't count into the kickstart totals until way at the end... ;/

Well if it makes you happy, the Giro Card (previously EC Card, never will get used to that ,p) can be used Europe wide. In theory... since 2006.
That means all bank cards given out in Europe are EC/Giro/Meastro payment compatible... so at-least that should no longer be an issue. (it does make the other visa/etc. credit cards even less useful though) |

Yeah, what you describe is basically why I don't even bother getting a credit card... If you think THAT is bad, and Munich is a pretty big tourist center, wait till you visit the outskirts of Berlin. You will find EC/Giro everywhere even the postal service ringing at your door has a EC terminal, but NOBODY will take your credit card. Not even the ATM's. Because most ATM's are only for EC/Giro.
I think in Germany you really gotta realize.. it is dominated by EC Card or cash, when I say "i don't need anything else" you can believe this. Since around 2006 the spread for EC acceptance is NEARLY total. But if you try paying with any non-german card... you are stranded. Always ask what they accept before ordering. Is the only thing I can tell you. It's something even Germans learn the hard-way ;p
It is certainly not a good system for tourists though. Mainstream attractions or routes usually have mastercard/Visa terminals though... just not guaranteed. And yeah, there is a minimum value. Even for ec cards. Usually about 10€ |

| That's a cool thing to do ^^ Alas, the mod-db link I posted is not live yet for downloads.. which sucks. Ornitocopter has plenty other links for it, and I played it for some hours now. It is absolutely stunning, the graphics are often even superior to Oblivion or Skyrim in mood. Particularly sunrises ,p Though combat is still terrible.... |
