'Great deals throughout the store - up to 80% off through January 3rd!'

I read that as 'daily deals up until January 3rd, US time'.

In other words: There should be another set of deals tomorrow.

Morrowinds awful, I don't get why people prefer it to oblivion. It's so clunky and muffled. :p

Hopefully tomorrows final deals will actually be good.

It's cheap and in a downloadable format for anyone who played the game for tens or even hundreds of hours. It's a "vintage" pc game with one of the strongest mod communities ever to grace a game.

I tried to buy Mass Effect about an hour and a half before the deal ended, and Steam gave me an error in paying, either by credit card or Paypal. And I kept trying until the deal ended :/ I should have bought it yesterday. A bit annoying, but I can wait until a similar deal for it comes along.

Morrowwind is now mine.

Kinda mad. I bought the Crysis pack.. and it keeps doing this:

I actually had that same exact problem with a game on Steam cause my PC did not like the Nvidia drivers I was using. Was simple as that. I went back to the last older version and problem solved. I then installed the newer ones again and never had the error message again. So seemed to be just a weird little bug.

Also with that said, if that is your screenshot and not just one you found of the error message, I could not help but notice it seems like you are using older drivers if that is the version number of your drivers. They are officially on 195 for WHQL. Might want to see what happens if you update your drivers.

If anyone is curious on learning how to modernize Morrowind and make it look like Oblivion, then here's a very helpful link:

Damn, that is actually pretty cool. I love how much care the community puts into making mods for the Elder Scrolls games. Reminds me of all the mods and texture packs that came out for Oblivion as well.

I just saw Red Alert 3 for $10.19. That is certainly tempting, even if I will inevitably get destroyed online :).

Looks to me like the old nvlddmkm error is rearing its head again

My 8800GT had this problem 2 weeks ago when it died. Getting that error in the screenshot, random blue screens, and tons of artifacts when trying to load any game/3D application. It eventually got worse and was locking up my PC and i was getting artifacts on my desktop. Temporarily installed a 9400GT and everything works fine, same drivers.

Got approved for an RMA from eVGA, so just waiting on a replacement. ;)

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
