Just bought Stalker and Braid, thanks for the heads up.

Does anyone else have a problem getting batman to run?

I'm getting a .NET framework "unhandled exception" problem.

BmLauncherLib.PhysxSDK... Now I imagine me having a 4850 it's conflicting with having no physx support?

You guys getting low speeds should switch region, or get TCPView from Microsoft's website. Just run it (doesn't need installing) in administrator mode, set Steam downloading, and right click in the TCPView and close the TCP connections for Steam and it'll restart it's downloads using another server. I often do it when I get low speeds and it often helps massively. Like today downloading Beyond Good and Evil, was at around 90 - 110 kb/s, then use TCPView and it went to about 4x that.

I've just tried this, I changed the region to France and tried the TCPView thing, and the download speed shoots up to around 300-400KB/s and then slowly goes back down to the 30's or says 'the server is too busy' etc.

Worth checking your Steam settings, mine often seems to switch to Benelux for some reason :confused:

Bah, think i know the problem with Mirrors Edge.
I'm at my parents for Christmas and it seems to treat here differently to mainland UK. Won't even let me buy Riddick with my PayPal account registered to my own address.

Anyone got any ideas on how I can get around this?

Get someone off here to buy it for you, send them the money and they gift you? I would but after my tiny spree above i'm skint until tomorrow (payday!

).

Tried restarting the client? And deleting the clientregistry.blob file?

I know it sounds stupid but sometimes games don't appear immediately. A quick restart usually makes them re-appear.

You've done the right thing opening a ticket. Did you get an email confirming purchase at all? If you did I can't see any reason why they wouldn't help you.

If you login to your Steam account on the web, you can access a list of all your purchases - is your latest purchase listed there?

I notice that Overlord is down to 2.99. Its got some good reviews, anybody played it?

I played it near release, pretty fun little game. Not the longest (amybe 12-15 hours) but it's fun and only frustrating at a few points.

Pookie Bear · 23 Dec 2009 at 20:03

Well, 6 games for less than £13 - can't argue with that

I won't be bored for a while - especially once my DA: Origins turns up tomorrow too! Yippee!

mortals · 23 Dec 2009 at 20:09

I'm so tempted to get gta4 & the witcher but not really sure I have enough time for the witcher and think I will get bored of gta4 pretty quickly

Just checked your trust and you seem ok, I don't mind gifting for you. Email in trust if you want me to do it

Tute · 23 Dec 2009 at 20:17

I must be mad. I was a long time Steam hater! Now i've just given it £40.

id Super Pack
Overlord Pack
Unreal Pack
Painkiller Pack

sim0n · 23 Dec 2009 at 20:18

Wasnt going to purchase any new games until i could upgrade computer. Saying that Evil Genius for £1.39 looks interesting and would'nt tax my comp. Also the Witcher is tempting....how does it compare to Risen (got to the forth chapter and stopped playing)?

ali825 · 23 Dec 2009 at 20:24

is there any reason to buy the game now, apart from the one that change every day, since the sale ends on the 3rd, or will there change like that sniper game increase in price
