Stu Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The wonders of Steam. A few weeks ago I got a voucher for 50% off Motorsport Manager as I play Football Manager. Kept it until today as it's payday and I had something else to sort that I'd have got distracted from if I bought the game. Try to buy it and get an error, regardless of whether it's at home or at work, with my card or PayPal. Message their support and am told the game is currently half price for everyone and can't use my voucher. Fine. However, I'm also told that as the voucher is in my inventory (they put it there, not me) the system won't let me buy the game until it's back on full price and then I can use my voucher. To me, that seems nuts - I want to give them money and they're effectively telling me to come back in a week's time! The only way round this is to trade the voucher. No idea how to do that but if anyone does and wants to help out... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grazza Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Anyone got steam link and controller. Almost bought them as on sale for £27 for the two though then they want another £10 on delivery. I have read they are good for keyboard and mouse games if you want to say use it on couch or another room. Are they good for streaming other stuff from pc say if mrs is in living room I can easily stream stuff from pc to tv in other room that Id be using chrome for etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Just joined the master race of PC owners; got myself a decent setup with plenty of scope for upgrading. Intel i5-1700 CPU @ 3.00GHz 8GB of DDR4 HyperX Ram NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB of GDDR5) 1TB HD, 120GB SSD ASUS H110M-R Motherboard. Runs most things on high, except PUBG which it can steadily run on medium settings at around 40-50fps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest your first upgrade should be to 16GB RAM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Anyone else tried streaming to other PCs? I've got a fairly slow machine under the tv set up as a media centre. I was pretty dubious that it would work but Ive just been streaming Fallout 4 and Alien Isolation, seemingly lag free! If anything it looked better on the tv as it upscales to 4K 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
