breaking the game in new and exciting ways

For the record, NONE of the games shown except for Zelda are actually confirmed, especially Skyrim. Bethesda put out a press release saying they were happy to help with the trailer but have nothing to announce yet. Similarly, all of those publishers and developers listed just say they're interested, not that they've got games on the way.

Still looks exciting though.

i'm looking at you comanglia, forcing hud_fastswitch.

no

The only game currently using Source 2 is Dota 2, which got it in a beta update late last year and it was made the default branch earlier this year.

The only full game in the foreseeable future that might use Source 2 is Titanfall 2, which we know uses a variant of Source that their developers have highly customized. It's not currently known if that version uses Source 2 or Source 2013 as a base, though. The original Titanfall used Source 2013.

wait for it

Do you have multicore optimizations enabled? What hardware are you running? What's your average performance?

Forgive me if I'm mistaken but it would make a hell of a lot more sense to track HWID than IP if they're running a low-level anticheat client, no?

That's not at all right, though. Just because something is bugging out doesn't mean you're running on a different software and hardware protocol. That isn't valid evidence.

and occasionally steamstat.us isn't entirely accurate because it doesn't poll all regions

in that case a good fallback is steamgaug.es (which sometimes also isn't accurate, but the two in combination are good)

ftfy

wait a week and they'll drop in price if they haven't already

not to mention the 1050/ti won't be available for MSRP for months, just like every other GPU recently
