Just wanted to say I liked something because Reddit.

I am really enjoying out of the Nightdive remaster of Turok and listening to that fire ass soundtrack on a nice system has been a very positive experience for me. Just wanted to say that because holy internet is it mostly crazies, bots and doorknobs out there.

Anyway, hope you're having fun there inside my TV!

I have only beaten the first PoE. Will I 'get' the lore of Avowed?

I have already bought the game and I'm sure it'll be mostly fine, but was there anything that transpired in the sequel that I should know?

Can we make Steam points worth something?

It doesn't need to be of outrageous value or anything like that. Just give us something else to spend them on than cosmetics that mean less than nothing to a lot of people. I've never once spent a point because I have never once been offered something I want in exchange for them.

What is the point of points if collecting them doesn't add up to something you want?

Can you main monk in this game without too much difficulty?

I saw that Ivalice was on sale on steam and monk is my favorite class. Not just in FF, but in general. Can I either main monk from the moment it becomes accessible or pick supplementary classes that would make me an optimized monk in the end?

It may sound ridiculous to some, but I would really like to beat the game as the baddest ass face puncher there's ever been. Is it doable *and* fun or just doable?

What albums should I start with?

I am through being a tourist and only knowing Bleed, Electric Red and Cyanide Christ. But their body of work is HUGE and I don't know where to start.

I tend to listen to 'new' music as the artist intended in full album form. Especially for the first time. Especially especially with this MF construction going on right outside of my window where I can let my speakers walk and talk without fear of inconveniencing the neighbors.

If you were going to sit down and listen to an album of theirs from beginning to end which would you pick and why?

*Spoilers* Stuck in 'A Dimensional Dilemma' TR Mages guild quest. *Spoilers*

I have solved the quest all the way up to getting the 'exit note' that says the exit key 'is in the tree'.

Well I have been up and down every tree and tree like object in that maze with Levitate, Light and Find Key all going at once and I have found no key. There's no shoe tree or bonsai around anywhere that could be construed as a tree of a sort. I am out of answers.

SKSE only launching in 1280*720 for some reason. (SteamOS{Machine})

I can only see the upper right hand portion of the screen when it launches.

The only difference between it working perfectly last night and not working today is that I took all the various safety measures to block updates including making the manifest file read only and now the actual Skyrim game has "Update Failed: Disk Write Error" next to it's play button when I woke up this morning.

Furthermore I ran the Launcher to try to change the resolution that way. All the other parameters had their various options, but 1280*720 was the only choice in resolutions. What in the Sam Heck is going on here?

I can only guess at what's actually causing this, but my gut tells me this has something to do with the resolution being wonky.

  1. Is this a side effect of the steps I took? If so how do I fix it.
  2. Barring that, presumably (hopefully) it still functions properly in every other way. How can I force my native resolution?

Edit: For some reason changing the SyrimPrefs.ini to bBorderless=0 gives the full screen image, but with a full window border and scaling blur. Not my favorite 'solution' but I thought it might help pinpoint the problem.

Where to find 'fake' windows layer files and 'cross platform' woes.

Modding games in this OS has me using a mix of native Linux and fake windows utilities quite a bit. When it is either a Linux program needing the address of files in the fake windows layer or a fake windows program needing the addresses of files in the Linux layer, I get lost and make mistakes.

I have installed Tale of Two Wastelands like 3 times for instance, each time confident that I had found the right folder to output everything to, only to be proven wrong. They are still out there in the drive somewhere wasting space and I'm not even sure how to find them and clean those up.

I have since discovered how to have fake windows programs show hidden files, which was a major hurdle cleared, but I still have a lot of trouble making connections 'across platforms' and finding the hidden area of where fake windows directory is, making things difficult.

I am relatively new to Linux and could really use pointers in this department. TIA.

Recommendations for 'legendary craft mod' with -costly- transfer of legendary properties?

So I like having the ability to transfer legendary effects from one object to the other, but think it should 'cost' more in some way. Like requiring a fusion core or some other comparatively rare component to complete the transfer, for example. Or maybe just raw caps.

Something to make it less easy to do to bring some balance to it.

(SteamOS) TTW installer insists my FO3 copy is invalid, even though I bought the Steam one just for installing TTW.

Literally just bought the steam copy of the game because it wouldn't accept the Epic version. I figured fair enough, I did get it for free and shelled out for a new copy on Steam to get this mod going. I used the anniversary downgrader from Nexus as well.

Only to get the same error when attempting to install TTW unfortunately.

While I am here do I have to downgrade for New Vegas as well? The internet was less clear about that.

Launching game through F4SE did not bypass patch.

I had to pick a stupid flair that doesn't fit because Reddit. This is a heads up to SteamOS users.

So I went through the trouble of 'assuring' that Fallout and my other Bethesda games would not be borked by an update. As they are known to do. Launch it through F4SE they said. Set it to only update on launch they said.

But I did exactly that and when I quit my session on fo4 I see the ever so handy Steam Machine LED strip telling me an update was getting installed. 'Funny I don't remember authorizing any updates' I say to myself.

Care to guess what game """updated""" itself and bypassed all the needlessly elaborate shenanigans the internet put me up to like they were nothing?

Be warned, if you use a linux system, apparently the rules are different. Now I have to do god only knows what to fix it. Fuck your face, Todd.

How to stop SteamOS from 'remembering' what I was doing when I shut it down?

Preamble: This is not a big or emergent problem at all. I would like a solution if there is one, but the stakes are low.

Is there a way to stop the OS of relaunching the various windows and programs I had open when I shut it down?

I miss vanishingly fewer things about the Windows experience as I get used to the new OS, but one thing I didn't realize that I liked about it until I switched was having a fresh, empty desktop when I fire this thing up in the morning.

I could grow up, become an adult and fully shut everything down before shutting down my machine but I am hoping there is a setting I can't find somewhere that will handle this for me.

How to get SteamOS to 'run' a .bat file?

Sorry for posting this, but I am new to Linux my research hasn't gone well. A lot of people on protondb said they did different, often conflicting things and it worked for them, but I could not get any of their methods to do the job.

The game runs in it's unmodded state, but the framerate is very choppy. Everyone says the 'Juiced' mod fixed all of their problems, but it was the beginning of mine.

I am trying to get Saints Row 2 working properly with the Juiced mod on my Steam Machine but when the main .exe tries to execute the included batch file to self install the mod, no installation dialogue comes up saying that anything is done.

It loads into the game and the graphical changes and stable framerate are apparent, but it crashes quite reliably. My current theory is it's because SR2 cannot execute the installation batch file included with the patch, so when it makes calls to expected patch files/functions, it finds nothing and takes a dump instead.

How do I get SteamOS to execute this thing?

Getting simulated Windows programs to respect system resolution?

In modding games on SteamOS it is sometimes necessary to use non-steam utilities designed for Windows. Getting them set up is easy, getting them in a readable state if you have vision issues is another matter. Everything is so tiny.

How do I get non-steam programs ran through steam to respect global accessibility settings so I can read them?

Enhanced Build front end for SteamOS that is less difficult to set up than Raze?

Back when I had a crappier computer, I saw the pictures of duke using more advanced graphical features and really wanted to play it that way.

Well now I've got a better rig that can use them and I can't get Raze working because it doesn't auto detect and play my Build games right out of the box like it did on windows. It's got this needlessly complicated installation process that requires you to download all sorts of files and put them into different random directories.

Is there something that Just Works?

Getting game to recognize M&KB on Steam Machine?

Anniversary Edition.

Has anyone successfully done this?

I have tried two version of Proton to (mostly) success, but I want to be FULLY successful.

-At first I tried reverting Proton to 4.11., which worked except voices/dialogue were silent.

-So then I tried Protontricks Hotfix and the voices work, but the resolution is wrong and M&KB do not.

I just want to play my game, man.

Hey guys. Old school D2 'veteran'. Just got Resurrected. Need to know things?

AS the title says, I have been playing since I got the OG game in EBGames at launch all those years ago. But I just got D2R+RotW and was wondering if there are any 'need to know' differences with the new version that might effect my playthrough experience.

I have always mained NovaNecros if there is anything granular to know about that in particular as well, but that is an aside from the main question. Yes I know many of you hate them. I have been hearing that for a *long* time.
