This is my favourite

My gratitude goes first and foremost to Valve for trying.

Best guess? Whichever account gave account 6 permission to play their game.

Either account 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 will be the user that gives 6 the permission to play their game, so it follows they’re the one that (I’m assuming) will get banned also. It’s a good question you raise and I’d be interested to know for sure myself.

Unless I’ve misunderstood; that’s exactly why I asked the question in my original comment. I’ll explain my / the reasoning:

I own a game on a Steam account (A) and want to hack (and evade bans) using another Steam account (B).

I share my library/game from account (A) to account (B) then hack on account B and only account B gets banned… What’s to then stop me from making Steam account C, D, E, F… etc? Absolutely nothing. Hence the double ban.

I stress that if you do share a game / your Steam library with others you trust them explicitly.

Not sure I agree, how else are they meant to prevent the ocean of “It wasn’t me, it was my brother” excuses from hackers smurfing accounts?

I’d recommend (to everyone) that if you’re unsure -or have even the slightest doubt about the person you’re going to give access to your Steam account- to politely decline and play it safe.

I didn’t mean to sound like I was complaining, I was trying to express my surprise.

I said in my comment I’d used a controller to play on PC. When I played Deadlock (a week or two ago) the controls were most certainly not configured (at least not via PC + wired controller) hense the community keybinds.

The only thing I can suggest is; either there has been an update in the last week which has added support or it’s configured for the Deck but not PC+controller yet.

My apologies, when I said released I meant released for public testing / playing (ie, it’s current state).

I’ve played a little with keyboard and mouse as well as a controller (using community settings) and currently it very much feels like it would be difficult to play with a controller (I’d like to stress I’m hoping and happy to be proven wrong about that further down the line).

My surprise was that Valve have brought about a game like Deadlock which currently (to me) feels very much like a keyboard and mouse only game. Again, looking forward to that potentially changing.

With that in mind, the game is likely to feature controller support when it releases on PC, as it is expected to be Steam Deck compatible.

I hope so.

It baffled me that Valve released a game that isn’t really compatible with controllers not long after releasing the Deck. I was kinda hoping Deadlock would be very controller friendly. When/if this happens I’ll give it a second look.

Okay, that was a pretty stupid question. My bad and thanks.

Forgive my asking; how did you get that little wheel/graph of (what I’m assuming is) the compatibility of your Steam library?

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification… One can dream lol.

Neat. I was put off buying FarCry 4 and Battlefield 3 (because of the additional launchers) does anyone know would this circumvent those?

It’s bleeding-edge, so bugs and regressions are going to be there first.

Case in point: there is a bug/issue with the Nvidia drivers now (555) that messes up hibernation/suspend and cause a kernel panic for some.

Have you played them all? I remember playing Bioshock 1 (at release) and the ending blowing my tiny, child mind.

Watch out 3% - we’re coming for you!

Looks neat!

It holds a very special place in my heart.

I remember playing Half Life at my Grandparents house, my grandfather or Dad stuck me on Half Life (they had a PC) and I loved it.

I was only able to get past the first few zombies (by fleeing) before having to give up from being too scared lol. While I had played other games / consoles, Half Life was the first game I played that blew my mind and gave me a “wow” factor.

I think other than the original I think Opposing Force is my favourite of the expansions.

Thanks for the post; I’m due for a replay 😁

edit: typo

Yeah, that shit is super annoying, it’s been happening for years. I’m surprised they haven’t turned it into a self contained updater or something by now. It’s part of the reason I don’t use it anymore.
