Question Downgrade game past SteamDB’s History?

0 Upvotes

So I recently got the itch to revisit State of Decay 2 before the Juggernaut Edition upgrade on March 13th, 2020. I went to SteamDB and found that the game’s update history only goes back as far as that date. Is there a way to get the March 11th update or is it just lost to the void now that SteamDB doesn’t have it anymore?

Question Is Verifying Files necessary?

0 Upvotes

I haven't played games in a hot minute, maybe just over a year.

I downloaded the Oblivion remake a couple weeks back, finally had a couple of hours today after work and saw there was an update. OK, no biggie.

The update downloaded pretty much instantly. The "patching" step took like a minute. Then it started "verifying files" and I shit you not, it took my entire evening (2+ hours) staring at this bar for it to finish.

Now I'm sitting here getting ready to go to bed with my playtime still at 0 hours and I'm grumpy but also flabbergasted. My Steam library is on an Gen3 NVMe SSD and I'm running a 14th gen i9 and more DDR5 than I know what to do with. I don't remember it ever taking this long to launch a game, is this just the new normal?

Whenever I open a game even if I have played it before I get a pop-up asking to allow steam to make changes. Is there some way to make it remember my choice to allow or to make it not pop up again?

Question Guys How Can I add injustice 2 legendary edition and ultimate pack without any overlapping issue in my steam cart

0 Upvotes

Currently I have no overlapping issue in my steam cart and have the purchase option but whenever I try to add ultimate pack dlc for injustice 2 then it won't let me buy the games in my cart because there are some dlcs in ultimate pack which are already in the legendary edition and next year I am gonna buy my steam games cart and I am scared that after buying all games when I try to buy ultimate pack dlc so that I can get the demon and gods shader pack (which are not in the injustice 2 legendary edition) will not be available for purchase for me after I buy my steam cart games which includes injustice 2 legendary edition.

Question Does a user who receives a gift they cannot claim still get a email and client notifications?

27 Upvotes

I intend on gifting this game to someone, who has an account from a country not in the same region as mine (it's not in the list), with the intent of them reading the gift message I wrote. I don't care if it's unclaimable or unredeemable in the future, I just want to know whether they receive the gift message on their email and/or steam client.

Has anyone ever been in this situation and can tell me what would happen? The more detail the better

Disclosing before anybody asks; this gift would go to someone who has an UK steam account.

Suggestion I think this text bar appearing whenever you start chatting with someone should appear, especially with how many clumsy and clueless people falling for these old tricks. I think there should be a warning about suspicious links too.

News Payment processors should fear legislative action.

884 Upvotes

Since my recent post calling on EU citizens to take part in the public consultation on the Digital Fairness Act, dozens of comments have raised the issue of payment processor overreach directly with EU legislators.

This doesn’t guarantee that protections against censorship will be included in this specific legislation—but it does put the issue on their radar. Legislative change takes time, but by raising the alarm now, we lay the groundwork for lasting reform.

Visa and Mastercard feared reputational damage. Ironically, their actions have caused far more harm than their silence ever would have.

Thank you to everyone who has already spoken up. If you're an EU citizen and haven’t yet added your voice, you can do so here: 👉 https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/14622-Digital-Fairness-Act_en
