'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. ;)

      Samsung messages is still alive and well. They reversed that and decided to our more effort into it.
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
