What Games Are You Playing?

[KazeNoKoe23]

Well I tried the d3d9.dll fix, and it works for me. The lag is pretty much gone and the game plays as Fallout 3 did.

Touch wood, FNV has played exactly like FO3 right out of the box.

The only issue in 9hrs I've seen so far is NPC's getting stuck in rocks etc.

Other than the issue I noted about the save/continue system, I agree. Though I've got less than 2 hours in the game thus far.

As a side note.... The game basically looks and feels the same as Fallout 3. In fact you could argue that this is a large expansion of Fallout 3, which is unfortunately contributing to my low play time

I agree. but once you get to the area of Primm things start getting better, at least IMO.

My Quick/Auto save started bugging out again
Its only a temp. fix, even with all CLOUD options disabled.


But from what Ive read on the official forums, its not actually eating them, just naming them wrong.

In Documernts/My games/ FONV you see you quicksave and auto saves.
2 of each, one with a .bak extention.
If you delete the auto.fos and quick.fos (These are the old ones) then remove the .bak extention from the other, renaming it quick.fos or auto.fos, youll have your real save back.

Ive tried everything and thats the only thing that actually wortks for me. but it seems the devs are aware and working on it now.

Ive had a few small issues. Mostly as mentioned, creatures falling into the world etc. on occasion.
Also, When 3 or more NPC are around shooting at me, framerates seem to plummet. Many seem to have this problem as well, although Im not sure if its the game itself, or a ATI issue.

Forcing AA and AF through CCC seems to help.

Tbh, I expected it to be what it is - more of the same, so I'm not surprised/disappointed on that score. Although with the similarity it is a bit of a grind to start from scratch with the levelling up.

I was expecting more from the hardcore mode though. Atm it's more of an irritation than an immersion.

I've noticed the slowdowns as well, but haven't had Fraps running so I can't say exactly how much. It does recover quickly however. I'm running with CAT A.I disabled to switch off the 2nd GPU, so that may or may not make a difference.

It hasn't been enough of an issue to visit fiddle/tweaktown. Yet

I'm playing Fallout New Vegas, no issues at all, I haven't encountered any bugs so far. I'm actually enjoying it. I'm doing side quests and it's pretty fun. Also, the map is pretty huge. Lots of stuff to see.

There WAS a thread over at Bethesda Softworks Forums -> Fallout: New Vegas PC Issues about issue with SLI/Crossfire, but it's either been deleted or moved somewhere else as I've looked high and low and can't seem to find it now.

Edit: Found it.... No multi GPU support? - Bethesda Softworks Forums

Anyway here's a thread on microstuttering which I seem to be suffering from as well, even though I only have a single card.... Microstuttering. - Bethesda Softworks Forums

If anyone wishes to discuss Fallout: New Vegas I created a thread here.... http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/119495-discuss-fallout-new-vegas.html#post1027670 so as not to hijack this one with issues/talk about FO:NV.

Enjoy

I'm currently playing through Sonic Unleashed on my Xbox 360. Thinking about buying either Midnight Club LA or Fable II.

 

[Gornot]

Playing Bard's Tale again, after about 2-3 years.
After Postal 2, I think it's the funniest game of them all (that I have played)

BTW someone should perhaps pin the topic.

 

[Seven Eleven]

Overlord. Got pack on Steam sale ^_^

 

[EzioAuditore]

Assassins creed II.. I just love this game.

 

[OceanicAirlines]

Can I play this game?

Gornot BTW someone should perhaps pin the topic

Hey Gornot--- I like those types of games, too.

I finally (finally!) got ahold of The Dark Eye (1995.) It's the same era, obviously, as other games like Myst and what not.

Emulators aside, running on Win7 with an x64 platform, is there some kind of thing (asking all around here) that can get these games to function?

I'm aware of the "Run in compatibility mode/" "Windows XP SP2," etc... but that hasn't worked well for me in the past.

Usually, when I have the games (in this case, as .ISO images,) I use PowerISO (as it's small and easy to manage,) and mount them. I don't automount or anything of the sort. However, compatibility is a pain.

Suggestions? ...seems that a lot of users in here like the older stuff, or the classics, as much as folks like the new stuff.

World of warcraft . dragon age origins! cant wait for the next one.

Alien Swarm. Who knew free games could be this good.

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

Get it on Steam:
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale on Steam

Hilarious and totally in-universe review:
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale - review for PC: Capitalism, ho!

Everything in life is amazing in the eyes of a child, their very first toy, their very first piece of candy, and for Recette Lemongrass, their very first soul crushing debt to pay off in five weekly installments of ever increasing financial terror! With our little lady's father having taken off to play hero due to stupidity related issues and slightly forgetting that money is indeed an object, it's up to our young heroine and her floating ball of gree-- err, I mean financial fairy friend Tear to set the books straight and pay back that ungodly sum of money or it's off to play Recette's Magical Cardboard Box Adventure! So in the town of Pensee where everyone and their wife stockpiles various sharp pointy objects of questionable moral utility, what would be the best way to make money? Why by selling aforementioned instruments of destruction of course, along with food, books, the still beating heart from a giant killer Eyebat and pretty much anything else not nailed to the floor - and that's what “Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale” is all about!

:roflmao:

Awesome indie game, one of my best purchases ever.

[Skulblaka]

Playing an online FPS, "Combat Arms," it's pretty good for a free game. Fun shooting people... in a game of course...
