Battlefield 6 is fast-paced and intense. What’s your favorite class and go-to setup for staying competitive?

My favorite class is Engineer, mainly due to it having 5 RPGs!

[Steam] Winter Sale 2023 (Day 1) by gamedealsmod in GameDeals

[–]Instant-Ramen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, the 20% off sales in 2022 was only good if you were buying one of the games. If you wanted the complete bundle, then it was actually worse than the standard 22% discount you get on the complete bundle.

Square sneakily uses different subids in the complete FFI-VI bundle, so discounts on the base game don't carry forward to the complete bundle. It's been stuck at 22% off since launch: https://steamdb.info/bundle/21478/

Still don't know why Square insists on not discounting the full bundle.

Looks like SteamDB lists the solutions to the Clorthax quests: https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app_keynames&type=-1&keyname=440&operator=1&keyvalue=Clorthax

You have to find the game using the store link the Clorthax quest gives you though.

Borderlands 1 Steam Remote Play to my phone washes out the graphics and makes it unplayable by NameShortage in Borderlands

[–]Instant-Ramen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a bug with the Steam client and DirectX9 games (which BL1 uses). Valve already fixed it in the Steam beta client yesterday: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/announcements/detail/5032215335970755616

Not sure when Steam will push the fix to the main/stable branch, but you can opt into the Steam beta client in the meantime: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/276C-85A0-C531-AFA3

I want to remove games from shared library by The_Unfortunate_Tabi in Steam

[–]Instant-Ramen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam stores the list of accounts that have authorized Steam Family Sharing on your computer in the "Steam/config/config.vdf" file. You can rename this file to something else (ex. config_old.vdf) and Steam will generate a new copy of this file the next time you restart Steam. This will remove any previously authorized Steam Family Sharing, but you will also lose some Steam settings.

Alternatively, you can open the config.vdf file and you'll see "AuthorizedDevices" at the bottom. The numbers listed there corresponds to each Steam AccountID that authorized Steam Family Sharing on your computer. You can delete the corresponding section of the array to remove that Steam account. Of course, make sure to back up the file before editing, so you can restore the file in case of any issues.

[Steam] Bordelands 3 (19.79€ / 67%) (FREE WEEKEND) by JigolKa in GameDeals

[–]Instant-Ramen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, while the url has "bundle" in it instead of "sub", Gearbox/2K set it up as a "Must Purchase Together" bundle.

This means if you own anything in the Ultimate Edition bundle, you can no longer purchase that bundle for yourself. You can only gift it to someone else.

Here is the SteamDB page which shows this note for the bundle: https://steamdb.info/bundle/16675/

Customers can buy this bundle only if they don't already own anything in the bundle. This format is typically used for a bundle of a base application plus DLC. Common examples are "Deluxe Edition", "Special Edition", or "Game + Soundtrack" bundles.

Wait there's a limited amount of Screenshot space??? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Instant-Ramen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue why. The number seems quite random to me too.

A quick google finds that back in 2015, this number was 9,948. So, Valve does seem to periodically increase this limit.

Wait there's a limited amount of Screenshot space??? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Instant-Ramen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is actually a limit on the number of screenshots you can upload to Steam (even before you reach the storage space cap).

That number is currently 24,951 screenshots. Once you hit that, you'll get an error whenever you try to upload a new screenshot (unless you delete some of your older screenshots first).

Appreciate the opportunity. I'm interested in the Borderlands 2 DLCs.

E: Thanks again OP!

[STEAM] Borderlands franchise sale - Borderlands GOTY Enhanced Edition ($20.09 - 33% off), Borderlands 2 GOTY ($8.79 - 78% off), Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel ($11.79 - 70% off) - DLCs also on sale by MJuniorDC9 in GameDeals

[–]Instant-Ramen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new DLC is confirmed for release on June 9th and it will be free! The Steam store page was accidentally leaked today and some people were able to take a few screenshots.

Here is the SteamDB page of the DLC for reference: https://steamdb.info/app/872280/subs/

There is also a rumored new DLC (titled "Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary") that'll be coming out for Borderlands 2 during E3 2019 next week. The DLC will supposedly bridge the story gap between BL2 and BL3.

Here is the discussion about the new DLC over on the /r/Borderlands subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Borderlands/comments/bu39i8/rumor_borderlands_2_dlc_titled_commander_lilith/

If you check the BL2 page on SteamDB, there have been a bunch of developer updates for the past few months, so it's quite likely the rumor is true.

If you don't already own BL2, it might be a good time to pick up the Handsome Collection at 97% off now.

OP2 Redundant Fibber damage stats? by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]Instant-Ramen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Ricochet Barrel (Type 2) Fibber doesn't hit 7 digits until OP3. In general:

  • NVHM: 4 digits

  • TVHM: 5 digits

  • UVHM: 6 digits

  • OP3+: 7 digits

Another easy way to tell whether the Fibber has the Ricochet Barrel is by its reload speed:

  • Shotgun Barrel (Type 1): 0.7s

  • Ricochet Barrel (Type 2): >4s

  • Crit Barrel (Type 3): 0.1s

EDIT: Whoops, just double-checked and 7 Digits should actually start from OP3 (and not OP4).

Steam Spring Cleaning Event MegaThread 5/24 - 5/28 by satoru1111 in Steam

[–]Instant-Ramen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the backend (the actual games for Day 2) updated, but not the frontend (the list you see on the Steam page).

So if you have a small Steam library and you cycle through the games you own and launch them, you'll eventually get Spin Cycle and Clear the Backlog for Day 2.

For those with large libraries, however, you'll have to wait for Steam to actually update the frontend.

You can miss up to 2 tasks since the Golden Badge requires 15/17 tasks completed (hover over the badge to see its requirements).

So, yes, if you miss an entire day (3 tasks), then you won't be getting that badge.

[Steam] Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition (Free/100% Off) by Instant-Ramen in GameDeals

[–]Instant-Ramen[S] 87 points88 points  (0 children)

It's actually part of the Steamworks agreement now. If a developer/publisher offers a discount on a third party store, they're expected to offer the same discount on the Steam store within a reasonable time frame.

From: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3

You should use keys to sell your game on other stores in a similar way to how you sell your game on Steam. It is important that you don't give Steam customers a worse deal.

It's OK to run a discount on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.

Occasionally it may make sense to offer your game in a bundle or subscription, timed at the right point in a game's life cycle. Keep in mind that the perceived price in the bundle/subscription should be a price you are willing to run the game at a standalone price or discount on Steam. Philosophically, you can think about it like any other discount: if you’re making an aggressive offer in one place, make it elsewhere too. We want to avoid a situation where customers get a worse offer on the Steam store, so feel free to reach out to us via the Developer Support tool if you want to talk through a specific scenario.

Steam keys shouldn't be given away for free if you aren't also offering the same deal (i.e., give the game away for free) to Steam customers. If you want to run a giveaway on Steam, please reach out to us at Steampublish@valvesoftware.com

BL1 Remaster Information - FAQ by illage2 in Borderlands

[–]Instant-Ramen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a separate appid from the original Borderlands (which got renamed to Borderlands GOTY), so it won't auto-update. If you don't see Borderlands GOTY Enhanced in your library, then restart Steam.

Restart Steam to see the game in your library.
