should i get Warband? Is the multiplayer still thriving?

Absolutely still active. I just played in a server with 90+ppl. I think the best way to describe this game is.. romance of three kingdoms from koei made into medieval setting. But its more hands on since u play the thing in 3rd person

it's streamyx and their inhumane throttling.

i always have this prob, so whenever it happens, i just use my digi 3g to connect. instead of getting stuck,
digi's 3g would just let me connect less than 5 seconds

hi, I tried so many method, all fail. Off firewall also cannot.
Off other exe in taskmgr also cannot.
Finally no choice, I have to reuse deimos zip file again. Unzip put it in correct steam path and also copy my old steamapps then it can work.
I dunno what special about deimos zip file, but so far, after move to new pc, 2 times for steam client update, only his zip file solution can work, other all cannot.

some solutions i found that worked for me,
these are all meant for the initial connection problem when trying to log into steam :

1. windows 7 seems to allow steam to connect better
2. auto start steam when starting windows
3. use beta steam
4. use...non streamyx connection
5. these connections seems to have probs on certain times..especially nite time for me. If you connect early in the
morning till afternoon it's ok

You know what

Delete the whole Steam folder or rather uninstall it.
Download a clean Steam client from it's site and install

Then just redownload your TF2.
You've been wasting more than a day to solve this thing, might as well do a clean install. doh.gif

or, you could try copying the steam.exe from winxp to win7..not sure if they're compatible or not. but usually steam will try to update that file when you first install steam or when you try deleting clientregistry.blob. That part usually lags like hell when streamyx is throttling. That's why i also recommend beta clients, it seems to work better

Hmm... that's weird. The normal price in our region is $14.99, since I did a comparison before & even laughed at those from US. doh.gif

EDIT: Here's the quote.

EDIT#2: OK guys, looks like Steam Store f*cked up. The region lock mechanism isn't working. Games that are previously region-locked such as Lost Planet 2 & GTA 4 are shown in the store now. Hurry up if you wanna stock up on some of the games that are previously not available here!

P.S. I haven't tested if I can buy any of these region-locked games. tongue.gif

yeah, thats why i wondering why it increased. Today seems to go back down to $14.99, but guild wars eye of the north increased to 20 bucks even with a 33%! it was 13 something

Yeah, all except Guild Wars (I made a personal price list myself) went back to normal not long after I make that post you quoted. Not sure if Steam missed out on it or anything but since it's not something I intended to buy, I made no noise about it. sweat.gif

im just afraid steam would see us belong to a region where we shouldn't be paying as less as before sweat.gif
