    What audio drivers are you running, i'm sure there was a problem with WaW where the audio had to be changed to stereo mix or something.

    Are you running it through Steam or a disk?

    Steam's got a ton of good deals for Black Friday. Dragon Age Origins 5 bucks, Fallout: New Vegas 3 bucks, etc.

    Anywhere else got any good sales?

    Check out G2A.com, they're doing a different set of games every 8 hours, and Kinguin.net generally put up awesome deals and are doing some Black Friday deals as-well.

    Also if you don't have it get The Witcher 2, it's on Steam for £2.24.

    Brilliant game.

    Bought Star Wars: Empire at War as it is 66% off on Steam. I like RTS'. Hopefully this one is still good.

    How did you manage that what website you using?

    I use G2A a lot but you have to watch with those sites especially with keys being revoked months or years after you buy the game. If you can't get it working just pirate it, you bought it so you have every right to.

    Bought it as a Steam Gift. Got gifted the game and now can't do * all with it.
    Was from a site called GK4.me.
    * just emailed me back saying as it said VPN in the title he won't refund me. Didn't even know that's what VPN meant. Nowhere in the item description does it mention what it is and that it's region locked.
    * con men.
    Even though using a VPN to activate the game could get my Steam account banned I'm not losing over £2000 worth of games.
    Will open a PayPal dispute tomorrow see how that goes.

    For whatever reasons, I bought the Sim City 4 a while back on Steam and never even could play it. It'd make my computer crash after about ten minutes of game play. I tried seeing if it was just a glitch...wound up crashing my computer more times than it has for any other reasons put together. :smiley-laughing002::54:
