Valkyria Chronicles 66% off. $6.79

MUST BUY FOR ALL!

Agreed, great game. Picked it up for 10$ around the start of the year/holiday sale. Now if only Capcom would port Dragon's Dogma to PC.

I think about the only thing I ever used it for was playing one of the MLB 2K games before it released on PC any other way.

Flight Simulator on sale again, yay. $5. Any of the DLC must-have?

I'd just get it all, but not at $115 even on sale.

Dang it was $5? I see it at $12.49 now. I know I won't play it for a while so I am wondering if I should wait until the Steam Summer Sale to see if it drops back to $5.

It seems like there is a big enough mod community to not warrant having to pay for most of that DLC.

I had either FS 2002 or 2004 wayyyy back when. Still have the Logitech joystick I used. I've been wanting to get back into playing it now that I have a PC that could handle some beastly mods.

It was on sale for $5-10 when it launched on Steam also, seems to be the goto price. If you aren't sure you'll get $7 worth of play out of it in the next couple months I'd just wait.

Enable VSR (virtual super resolution) on your GCN cards(AMD, nVidea users already have this-DSR- enabled for their cards). Actually people have them working on 5000 and 6000 series as well.

Have been trying it out, works very nicely although I can only go up to 1440p. Performance hit hasn't been too big but noticeable.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

For the Arma 3 peeps, does Steam automatically load the Arma 3 with Launcher when y'all click "Play"? Mine started doing this a few days ago and I can't figure out why. The problem is, when this change happened, my mods stop loading (except CBA). Initially, I just had everything setup in the launch options, but that is no longer enough apparently.

Any ideas/thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

My routine to help out.

Click Arma3 in steam
Launcher opens
Clicks mod tab
Select mods i want to run
Click play in launcher

**if mod is not in list, click the folder with the plus icon, then drill down and find your mod you want to load in the list**

So with the A3 Launcher, are you still required to do the startup parameters (ex. -mod=@modname?

No, you simply check the mod you want and launch game. Go to the arma 3 thread to see a picture of the launcher I posted.

With all these RPG's coming out I have to ask whatever happened to the turn based ones? They are still my all time favorite RPG's to play.
