New ARG

http://valvearg.com/c/o/u/n/t/down/

We'll find out what's going on in 45 minutes maybe.

It's ashame valvearg is not owned and ran by Valve, it's a community thing......but that doesn't mean Valve couldn't have asked the owner to put something like that up.

So, unlikely that anything major is going to come out of the timer, but possible.

They gave everyone a timer, everyone waited, everyone went to same redirect at same time, everyone gets timeouts :pinch:

Holy crap you're fast, lol. You even beat me to it, :p

My countdown went into negative numbers and acted like it wanted to re-direct, but nothing.

Not to me, I wasn't expecting much considering it was something from the community. :p

During the ARG, Valve had altered various pages and files on the wiki, even though they aren't the ones who own it. I was hoping that was the case here.

I didn't think anonymous users (or even registered) could create new folder structures and html pages, I thought they could only create or edit wiki pages?

Just completed it, the ending was very well done IMO.

I thought the final fight was quite easy to be honest, but that seems to be common to both games.

Is there any way of going directly to a section of the game? I'm achievement whoring and can't really be bothered going through the whole game again.

Select new game and it should show a list of chapters you completed.

You can only go to specific chapters in the singleplayer (play singleplayer, new game, select chapter). In co-op you obviously have the hub, which is much easier.

Just got done with all the achievements myself. Fairly difficult, but very rewarding (Y)

Thanks guys :D

Pretty sure I'm on the last co-op puzzle - it's driving me nuts. Any tips - NOT solutions?

Where specifically are you stuck (hard to give tips and not solutions if we don't know where you need help)?

One tip you may not have realized yet, is you HAVE to do the right side before the left. And you have to do something basic (think coop interaction) to open the vault once you get that far.

08/08 - Mobility Gels

We drop out of the tubes, and in front of us a dripping blue gel, behind a force shield is orange gel, and across the large expanse of water there is the point we need to get to. I know I'm missing something, but I can't see what!

You can't go to the blue until you go to the orange.

Tip: look at the arrows and survey the entire orange room in all directions.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
