I got it to work on my P3 800 mhz, TNT2 nvidia 32mb, 384 sdram, but it is so laggy, my ping is 785 yet i have a good connection. Is it my comp thats causing the lag? the lag is UNBEARABLE, making it impossible to play

how much fps do u get? any ways ur comp is a sux0r!

Plus if you go to Steam's forums you get this:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.

Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

I'm guessing they've started pre-loading for some and the traffic from the n00bs is killing the forums.

"OMFG IF ITS PRELOADED WHY CANT I PLAY IT YET???? VALVE SUCKZ!!!"

"How come Steam keeps telling me the game isn't available yet when I go to launch it? If it's pre-loaded doesn't that mean it's there for me already? Valve suckz"

Etc.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
