I picked up "How 2 Survive" for four bucks over the weekend.....kind of addicting. Diablo-style perspective...but with zombies. Big emphasis on survival (you gotta have water, food,sleep).

Playing it on its hardest setting, and its pretty challenging (and kind of addictive).

Does have Co-op mode, which i havent played yet.....but i like what ive seen so far.

Not bad for four bucks!

From what I'm gathering from my own experience and from others, it's the textures that's fucking things up.

If I crank the textures settings up from Medium, it goes from choppy while in a car to barely playable the more you scale it up. I can crank up the resolution and AA just fine though.

Wonderful code, Ubisoft.

Is anyone getting The Forest? It's single player survival horror.
[Reply]

Yes.

Buck, what GPU do you have?

just checked it out....looks very similar to "how 2 survive" (except FP-perspective).

Looks good.

I have a question about Steam (which I don't use and don't really know anything about).

My son is having problems with his laptop. Since we are going to have to restore the hard drive back to factory, I am backing up his files. He wants to try to save his game files so I am backing up most of those in hopes that he can restore his game progress after he re-installs the programs.

Anyway - one of the folders he wanted backed up is the Steam folder under Program Files (x86). When I went to copy this over to our backup, the folder is 150 GB! I am pretty sure he hasn't bought that many games (he's in college and is broke).

What is making the folder so big? I looked around in it and didn't see anything obvious. Is it anything to worry about or is it just the nature of the beast?

That's where all the games are stored.

Either back them up, or re-download them when the computer is fresh. I would re-download if I were you.

That's a lot of games.

Can Steam find the files ok if they backed up and then re-copied to the new hard drive? We have fairly slow internet at home.
[Reply]

Steam is great about that. If you copy the files over to an external drive, all you have to do is replace the folder, steam will automatically re install them the firs time you go to play.

Thanks notorious and hometeam.

I just checked one of our home computers and the Steam folder on it was 250 GB, so I guess it isn't anything out of the ordinary. I just wanted to make sure something hinky wasn't going on.
