Crysis 2

    you mean being able to check the internet inside a game without having to tab out? yeha i ttoally hate that convenience. fuck valve, those faggot cunts.

    luls, so alt+tab a windowed game is so different from pushing shift-tab in a steam game to get to internet?

    Actually it is, because i can use chrome which is like 10x faster than the IExplore hack steam use. (I know they went away from iexplore when they did their mac release, but their current browser is still shit).

    But the browser isn't my main beef with steam. Its how everything is sluggish when clicking on anything. Even opening the tool takes forever.

    Trust me, this new SSDO thingie is fucking revolutionary, especially for interiors since CE3 doesn't use lightmaps and everything is realtime! Crytek invented SSAO back in 2007, and it's done it again! )

    Damn, i seriously regret not buying a mobo with Crossfire, the DX11 patch looks awesome just from those 3 side by sides.

    As far as Steam being laggy, the games take a few more seconds to launch because Steam has to do its verifications or whatever, but once ingame theres no difference. Honestly I wouldn't even play PC games if it werent for Steam its the only thing that puts the PC on the same level as a console as far as community.

    Also alt tabbing out of a game with a different res than windows is running in used to be a recipe for disaster in XP not sure if thats the case with 7.

    The Steam Overlay is the best feature and whenever I run into an old game I can't run through Steam, like Gothic 2 (GOG copy) or Shadowman (apparently this game is so old it doesn't actually use DirectX, but some sort of DirectDraw 3D hack?) It makes me sad and feel less likely to play the game.

    In regards to steam, it is indeed pretty slow and it takes a second or two to respond to simple functions, even on up to date machines like the one I have at work. I think with all the shit they've been putting on top of it, it's getting heavier on performance.

    Took a few levels for a spin after installing the DX11 patch with High Res textures. Welp, the game does look a lot better now, makes one wish it was like this on release. In most areas my FPS was around 50-40, but what is up with every sewer area? Every time I got into a sewer, the framerate dropped like a rock.

    I can't get this on steam can I.

    You can, just run the installers and it searches for your Crysis 2 directory, Steam or not, and installs stuff.
