Launch Steam as admin? Where would I find the exe of Dirt2 itself to run as admin? I have UAC disabled, if that matters.

Is l4d included in l4d2? Will I able to co-op with others that don't have l4d2?

all of the steam apps run with a switch. just create a shortcut on your desktop of the demo, and run that as admin.

edit: hmm seems the shortcuts point to some online runner now or something. not sure this will work

Sounds like you need to update Games for Windows Live (yeah I hate it too

)

Try updating or if that doesn't work try uninstalling then reinstall maybe

Allow me to say: meh.
Also, I had The Witcher on my cart waiting for the last day to buy it at 5,50€ or something, and now they doubled the price. What the hell?

WhiteLotus · Jun 27, 2010, 05:16 PM

Would try out eve, but it's a pay monthly... I never want to get hooked on doing that.

I changed the title of this thread and made it a sticky so you all can update this with Steam deals and sales.
Please post deals/sales here instead of starting new threads when there is a new Steam sale.

Makes my life easier.

Eh I didn't really like it. Played it for ten min... But thats just me. I think for the price they have it at now its finally equal to the value of its gameplay.

Kreij · Jun 28, 2010, 10:55 PM

Do many of you use Stardock's Impulse digital ditribution for games?
I can add it to the title and you can include their regular deals in here if you want.
Other suggestions welcome.

WhiteLotus · Jun 28, 2010, 11:01 PM

Would be pretty sweet to have a giant sticky like this for steam and co. I visit steam pretty regularly, so can always update.

Kreij · Jun 28, 2010, 11:04 PM

It is stickied. Let me see if I have the mod option of making it a GIANT sticky.
