Weird, for the past few days, I have been experiencing terrible slow speeds on Steam (Spain/Portugal servers).
It downloads at 1MB/s, instead of the usual 11.9MB/s or 14.9MB/s.

Earlier today, I downloaded a couple of games. The first one was more or less the usual speed (11+MB/s) but the second was back to 1MB/s.
Now, I just updated a couple of games, and downloaded the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, and took 30 minutes to download not much more than 1GB. :cry:
change your download location in settings then - problem solved :)

XSEED ported Trails of Cold Steel to PS4 and removed Hatsuu from the credits despite her work on the game being intact. (She left the studio last year) She's been heavily involved with Trails for YEARS and is a big reason why the localization's are as excellent as they are. If they remove her from the London Mysteria credits when it comes to PC ill be pissed. Especially since she was the lead on that project.

I'm glad NISA took CS3 now. Hopefully they bring it to PC and do it justice. Fuck XSEED.

Seems me and that reddit user aren't the only ones affected lol. I'm guessing something went wrong or someone fucked up?

Oh wow, that's super shitty. We never found out the circumstances of her departure from the company, right? Wonder if there was some bad blood or something...

Gaming companies seem to be super shitty when it comes to crediting employees.
It's pretty fucked up.

Finally finished Dishonored 2 this week! Fantastic game. One of my all-time favorites. Turns out that starting it not long after a playthrough of the first game and its two expansions wasn't a great idea. Felt good to come back to it after such a long time though. Next I'd like to go through some classics and Wandersong. Don't know where I'll find the time for new releases.

I think she mainly left due to mental health issues. She had to stop working on CS3 because of them as well.

Seems like she was bummed over XSEED publishing Granblue (a series she loves) so definitely looks like shes not on the best of terms with XSEED.

Yeah, it did. :)
On other servers (for example, the ones from France), I'm back to full speed.
The problem is with the Spain/Portugal server.
Weird.

Since I believe you are, like me, located in Portugal, which server are you currently using?

In other news... Oxygen Not Included is more complex than what I was expecting... thank god for the "UI scale" option or my "old man eyes" would be suffering now :p
I've bought this game last night and I'm planning to start playing tomorrow. Really looking forward to it, what I've seen so far looks great!

And I like the title as well ☺

A heads-up, for digital pinball fans: FarSight Studios' rights to the AC/DC Pinball table will expire on June 30th, so it will be gone after that date.

The table is part of the Stern Pack 1 for Pinball Arcade, and they are having a last sale between now and the end of the month, for those who wish to get it.
For some strange reason, instead of giving it a 50% discount, they changed the price to half of the usual one, so despite not appearing as being on sale, the following pack is 50% off:


You can also buy the table for their other game, Stern Pinball Arcade, and if you buy the table in one of the games, you are supposed to get it in both (at least you were a while back; if things changed, I apologize).
The table is also on sale, despite, again, the developer changing the actual price, instead of applying a discount (wow, FarSight did some great digital pinball tables, but they are a disaster handling store listings, posting updates, and whatnot):

Download speeds seam fine here. You can try to change download region to Belgium in Steam's options and see if that makes any difference?

Yeah, I changed regions, and I'm getting great speeds again. It seems the problem is with the Spain/Portugal server.
It's experiencing some weird issues of slow download speeds.

Since it's only going away June 30th I advise people to wait for the Summer Sale as it might be extra discounted there.

I will make a note to pick it up during the Summer Sale, thanks.

A friend of mine had the same problem yesterday when he was downloading some games. He lives in the Southwest of Spain so it may be related...

I wish Steam Input configs had comments/votes so I could get some feedback for stuff, and maybe include touch menu icons. It's always wild to see how much some configs get used.

Cuphead (DS4). I guess people like my toggle shoot config. I know I do :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:



It's always great to see how much games are being played with Steam Input. Even old games like Bastion are putting in 3k hrs. Very cool.

I'll go through all the new stuff in this thread later, but here is what I found so far in Octopath files... Specifically here is an .ini

[/Script/Engine.GameUserSettings]
ResolutionSizeX=3840
ResolutionSizeY=2160
FullscreenMode=0
PreferredFullscreenMode=0
DesiredScreenWidth=3840
DesiredScreenHeight=2160
bUseDesiredScreenHeight=False
LastCPUBenchmarkResult=-1.000000
LastGPUBenchmarkResult=-1.000000
LastGPUBenchmarkMultiplier=1.000000
bUseHDRDisplayOutput=False
HDRDisplayOutputNits=1000

[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ResolutionQuality=100.000000
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=3
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=3
sg.ShadowQuality=3
sg.PostProcessQuality=3
sg.TextureQuality=3
sg.EffectsQuality=3
sg.FoliageQuality=3
Doesn't really look like much to edit or play with honestly. At least it supports 4K! (I think it's arbitrary since it was letting me push the resolution higher in-game...)

Seems like an ok port from SE. Nothing really sticks out to me, FPS is stable 60 with all things maxed and at 4K.

Its coming Fall 2019 my friend.
Hot damn!

Oh man. Sometimes I forget that we've to worry about this now. I really want to play it, though, so yep, hopefully it releases on Steam.

And that Fable 4 leak, hmm. I was planning on starting a play through of Remember Me tonight but seems that leaks won't stop coming.
