Re: Steam related discussions

How do you guys get "invites" and free cd-keys on steam
i don't think anyone would get anything free unless you are a reviewer. :p
but you can spend smart and use steam trading to exchange those extra copies of games that none of your friends want instead of buying all by yourselves.
steam trading economy is funny. all $5 games are not $5. for eg games like the ship, nuclear dawn are worthless compared to others. get some knowledge of current value of a particular game before trading anything.

r/steamgameswap is a good place to start if you have not done any trades outside your friends list before. beware of scammers though



Update: All invites gone. saved 2 for desmond and arijit.

Update: got couple more invites.. gone.

Yay! I got a STC Beta invite(Thanks to Skud) :D :hyper::bananana:


I just have a question,I joined the Steam Trading Cards Group on May 17,And they've been steadily adding 50,000 members to the beta per day,So will i get more beta invites as a part of the next 50,000 who will be added or i won't get any as i already am a part of the STC Beta?
If i get more beta invites I will share them with you guys on TDF

@Commander the DOTA 2 may have received a update overnight and hence download restarted.
Happened with my TF2 many times.

Anyone using Steam under Win 8? I'm having problem running Steam on Win 8. After installing, it starts updating itself, but after few mins, it fails stating "Steam couldn't connect to internet...". I tried googling, but the solutions of Regedit, and deleting files from Steam Folder is not working :(

Re: Steam related discussions

i think they are almost equal. maybe 9:10 for dota2:tf2. check the trading forums.

seems like this is the worst community update ever shipped by valve. total money grab.

Something like this rarely happens. It usually shows that it is downloading from the beginning, but after sometime, it will resume from where it left off. Just keep downloading and it will be fine.

Re: Steam related discussions

I am having a problem while trying to use the same steam folder in two OSes. I guess, some might help.

So I have Steam installed in Win 7. I wanted to run Portal 2, in XP, so that I get better FPS (I have a mediocre PC, as of now). So I went to XP and created a symlink of the steam folder of Win 7 in XP's program files. (You can think of symlink as just copying the steam directory of Win 7 to XP). Then I launched Steam. Some games plays well. But Portal 2 crashes after the initial loading part.

Is there some other requirement that I need to fulfill, to play Portal 2 on XP? I have updated catalyst drivers and steam. Any ideas?
