Anybody know if there's a way of registering the game with Steam if you bought it from their website originally?

They are working on this and should have something relatively soon, from what their forums say. I'm waiting on this as well, and I'm confident they'll get it set up.

Kerbal Space Program Forum - KSP Now Available on Steam

Quote:
Q: If I've already bought the game on the KSPStore, can I switch over to Steam?
A: The answer to that is Yes, but not right now. We are going to set up a system on our store where you'll be able to get a Steam key for KSP provided you already have purchased the game. However, we are still working on the exact details of this feature, so it'll likely be a while until that's set up. We'll of course let you know when that becomes available.

I'd considered buying this a bunch of times before. Making it a little more convenient by getting in on Steam got me in.

Well in a couple of hours of poking around, Patterns is a lot of fun so far, though I don't really understand all of it - but it has a lot of neat ideas - should be very expandable in the future.

Just watched the trailer for KSP on steam.

Dramatic music, majestic launch, then about 10k up the rocket disintegrates...
Anyone who's played the game can relate, but I thought I was a great hook.

I love that game.

Thomas Was Alone is one of the best games I played last year and is on sale for $5.

Has anyone played Kentucky Route 0? That's one that has me interested, but I thinking I should wait til the price comes down on it.

Last time I checked there were some complaints about the length of the first (and only to that point) episode. They said it was extremely short compared to other adventure games.

The first episode is fantastic.

Doesn't hurt to wait for a sale though, it will probably have a decent discount once all the episodes are out.

Guns of Icarus Online - get it, love it, live it - seriously this game is a blast and seems like something we could get a nice FOFC community going in. Online deathmatch where everyone is crew piloting these balloon skyships and trying to destroy each other.

5 bucks on Steam during the ongoing sale.

I'm in, but probably not tonight.

Posted an announcement on the Steam page to drum up interest.

I've been playing it a ton Pilot - it takes some getting used to but it's a lot of fun, the graphics are nice, and it's really a great theme, something you don't see every day.

The price is only going to stay $5 until Friday though, and then it will go back to 20 bucks.

My username is PeregrineFalcon.

And this goes for anyone on here. You can find a link to the group in my sig. We still don't have much (read: any) in the way of formalized gaming, but the option is still there.

Here's some basic tips on Guns of Icarus Online from what I have learned - basically at first it will be confusion, especially if playing engineer as the symbols for damage are all over the place, but look for red glowing symbols which indicate components on your ship are destroyed. To start with, work on the hull (bunch of plumbing-type pipework usually near the center of the ship) and the balloon (big tank/steam engine thing usually closer to the top) as those are the essential components. The repair system is basically you can hit a component with a tool and it will repair it, but if it is destroyed you need rebuild - so the big mallet is a big repair tool but the small wrench is great for rebuilding, the monkey wrench is a bit in between,

As a gunner, which I play a lot, keep in mind there are a ton of different guns, and the captain of a ship can choose the loadout so you may see different guns in different places, but the heavy hardpoints are all the same. Experiment with the different guns and get a feel for them - they have vastly different ranges (some are more like a sniper rifle, like the Typhon and Mercury) and others are very short range (Carronades and Flamers.) The flamethrower is quite popular as the fire is annoying to battle on a ship - but all the guns have their place.

Pilots control the helm - the basics of flying are not too hard but there's a lot of finesse to it as you get better - you can control left/right, up/down, and the forward or backward speed. Pilots have various tools which can do all kinds of things like dramatically raise or lower the ship, etc. Keep in mind that if the engines get damaged or destroyed it will really mess with your ability to control the ship.

Additionally, you can click on people's names in the lobby and get options to send private messages or friend them - my username in game is PeregrineFalcon. The chat system is controlled by J, K, L - J is regional chat used in the game lobby that everyone sees, K is team chat for your team - blue/red, and L is crew chat just seen by your ship crew. X is voice chat default - if you are waiting for a match everyone in the match can talk together but once the match starts X is only heard by your crew - the captain (if they are good) will give voice commands telling people which guns to man, what is damaged, etc.

I cant get onto Steam. So I cant play Civ5. Seems it wont let me play it through the CD I bought.
What should I do to play the game?
I cant connect to Steam. It says it is my connection or problem with them. I have Wifi and can access the internet. So Im not sure its me.
But I want to play the game.
Any tips?

Maybe your firewall is stopping it. Have you tried running Steam as Administrator?
