Bioshock.
Though you sometimes had to plug something into the microphone port in order for the sound to work at all. That port was fucked.

So what the fuck? Steam just randomly deletes shit for no reason? Why did the game work for so long and then stop working one day and I had to download that file again?

I feel you. I haven't played Rising Storm 2 since ages ago because every time I want to go back I have multiple specific errors caused by Easy Anti-Cheat. Why the fuck devs use that fucking trash.

Verifying the game cache on Steam is basically a solution if you ever mod your game somehow, even by changing a small file, if you didn't do that then most likely a patch from the devs messed something up/your computer lost power while updating/etc

I had no idea why my connection constantly dropped in TF2, until someone told me that I have to forward the ports at the router level. I'll be damned if it doesn't work like a charm, though.

On this day and age i actually Youtube the error and look for the videos that are 1 minute long

probably a lot because fast startup is bullshit that skips essential things during boot. my motherboard was giving me some weird ass code on the led bug code thing (my machine still worked fine but the code bugged me) after some update and turning that shit off fixed it instantly.

Probably because they're giving in depth instructions and mods would freak out over lengthy posts for page stretching.

IS this a problem that's been persistent on all versions of windows, or is it some BS that happens with windows 10? I usually didn't have a problem with it on windows 7 or 8.1, but when I went to 10 (not of my own volition) then everything went right to hell.

Mordhau, i fail to believe that the only solution to the insane loading times is "lol just get an SSD" when there is tons of people with HDD where it's a gamble if it takes 5 seconds or 5 minutes

Quake. I fucked around for hours trying to get the resolution center but everything I did never worked. Installed third party clients to fix it and nothing seemed to work .

Nier automatic tomatoes.

A cutscene transition in Deadly Premonition crashed 100% of the time, and my usual fixes that made the game stable but run at 5 fps wasn't doing it anymore.
Luckily I could get a savefile from after it and just youtube the missed plot. That game deserves getting through the hassle.

Me neither. All solutions for EA games on my PS3 never worked no matter what ports I forwarded. Hell I even created a DMZ with all open ports and it STILL didn't work. The solution was to simply not buy their games on that console.

I had to use skipped file saves when playing Muv Luv twice, this was before the steam version and it was a pain in the arse to play on win 8/10 (I know it was my fault that I played it on win 10, but I had no choice)

Eh some people believe in something called windows rot

fucking Deadly Premonition, i was so excited too. The thing is TECHNICALLY i could play but i couldn't fix the car screeching brakes sound, and car conversations are a huge part of the game and there aren't subtitles for what york says in the car so it would have been a lobotomized experience

Almost ran into this for Fire Warrior. First level ran fine, but it'd consistently crash when walking over some trigger at the beginning of the second level. Standing on a railing and walking along it avoided the trigger so I could play further. that game is so mediocre, I dropped it shortly after

Bioshock is still fucked, even the remastered version. It crashed at least 20 times during my playthrough, always while quicksaving without the save going through, so I always had to start from a previous save.

Dead Rising 1. No matter what the game will like lose fps over the course of a couple minutes. Nothing that people say will fix it.

This thread infuriates me, tech forums are definitely something worse than hell.

I had a friend who had to unplug the power to his GPU for his computer to successfully POST (because of a weak PSU.) He could then quickly plug it in and it would work normally. He did this daily for fucking years.

Reminds me of Deadly Premonition. I'd start out with a locked 60 and then slowly go lower and lower until I'd hit like mid 20s. Wanted to play that game, but it turned me off.

Yah it was exactly like that. It would tease me so much too because changing graphics options would min max the time it took before it would get to 10 fps so I spent hours as a last resort seeing if I could get the right configuration of settings but none lasted for more then 5 minutes before 10 fps.

Sometimes, if you're running on integrated graphics or playing on a laptop, it'll just do that and be unavoidable. But usually in other circumstances it's the fullscreen bug, which you can check by running the game in windowed. Change Fullscreen=1 in the .ini to equal 0, and add the line AllowWindowedMode=1 under the graphics options. Also disable frame buffer effects for good measure. If that works, it's the fullscreen bug, and you can get around it by either continuing in windowed mode or patching the game to your monitor's resolution with UniWS then upscaling the cutscenes so they match your resolution, which prevents the game from auto-minimizing (there's an admittedly kind of bad but at least exhaustive youtube tutorial for both of these).

I'm doing MY part!
