It seems you can't rename or delete categories either.
The sauce. It's weak.
Did they design this X3 game to actually make you not want to play it? Been following that dummies guide and I got to the Federal Argon Shipyard, selected autodock, the computer took over.....and rammed me into the station. Game Over.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGH
Time to start again, was this programmed by the janitor?
i always found the X games incredibly difficult to play.
once, i got quite far into X2 (by hex-editing my save with lots of money) and got factories going and everything, with transports all set up to ferry goods to and from their sources and destinations, and so on and so forth (ie, HOURS of work) and waited at the end factory (producing plasma cannons afaik) and it DIDN'T work!
somewhere along the line, despite meticulous amounts of planning and effort the damn thing broke down and i said "screw it, this is too much like hard work" and started playing something else.
Manual labour. Right click every game, pick it's category from the list, confirm, next game. Which makes it a pita for anything over a few games, even though it's a necessity imo.
It's useful, but not been thought out well.
Indeed. Sod that
Alphabetical order seems to work for me, I haven't failed to find a game yet that I know the name of

I'm only doing it to get rid of the totally dire ones so I never have to look at them again. Like Gumball Adventures.
That's the bad thing about Steam. With retail games if you make a bad purchase you can sell it, or at least hide it. With Steam it's always there as a reminder of your foolishness
There's a demo on Steam if you want to try it.
It was reduced more than that so if you are considering buying it, I would wait until the last day just in case that deal comes back.
Surely you don't need games installed that you don't play? Just Show > Installed and the rest is alphabetical
I forgot you could do that

Play 1 first. You need to for the sake of the story, and the fact it's amazing.

"you have failed to connect please check your network connection s and try again"
firewalls are off. Still nothing.

Well if I fancy playing a game that I don't have installed, I can't play it can I?
If I go to play something on a whim, I'll probably have lost interest before it's downloaded.
As long as I've got space, I'll keep everything on Steam installed.
Yeah I make sure I've got everything installed off Steam unless I've completed it or have physical media for it. Especially important if you have bandwidth caps, I make sure I suck it all down offpeak and then it's ready for when I want to play.
For example I've got some games on Steam that have been installed for years but I haven't got round to playing them yet
