Q: Will Steam remember my saves if I uninstall Deus Ex: HR?

I couldn't run DX:HR with the graphics up all the way so I took them down a notch until I got a new computer. Do I have to move my save files to my new computer to keep my character? Or do they save in steam so I can play them on my new computer without saving them and moving them?

I can't wait for final-combat questions to start coming to our site

mordi2k

Thats the TF2 clone right?

badp

There are a few crucial differences from what I've seen (that video), though. Starting from the fact that they only converted 5 classes (the ~~scout~~ striker, which is completely different, the ~~heavy~~ fatman, the ~~pyro~~ jockey, the sniper and the soldier) and koth_harvest plus that other map from that other F2P FPS shit from EA

they seem to only do 7v7 games

and the first capture of the control point seems to take exceptionally long

I must say I like the longer control point bar

so no medics, engies, spies, demomen

gameplay wise it must be a weird cross between that EA title and TF, and yet it must play differently from both

gotta give it that.

mordi2k

Sounds interesting actually.

Wipqozn

Does anyone know if OpenID was down earlier ?

Couldn't log on this morning due to Openid. Curious if it was just Openid, or the computers I was trying to log on from.

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn Err?

You're going to have to be more specific than that. What you asked is equivalent to 'is email down'.

Wipqozn

Wasn't working?

Arda Xi

OpenID is a protocol.

Wipqozn

1:25 PM

Indeed, but it has a server and what not.

The question was general because it was intended to be.

"was it down" implies that it wasn't working in some fashion.

Either the server was down, there was a bug preventing users from logging in, et cetera. My terminology was loose, but I figured a smart fellow like yourself could figure that out.

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn It doesn't have 'a server', it has servers. I had no idea whether you meant SE's implementation or your provider.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi I see says I

either way, Iw as unable to log on this morning (about 3 hours ago), curious if someone had any similar problems.

Arda Xi

Worked fine for me by then.

Wipqozn

Okay, must have been the computers.

University has a few different types of computers on campus. The ones I has on must be configured differently.

I noticed it didn't seem to be storing my internet history, so that would very well be related to the problem.

tQuarella

Is it legit to ask D3 related questions?

Probably not.

tQuarella

I'm messing around with the skill calculators.

Wondering if X% weapon damage is just main hand weapon or combination of both when dual wielding.

Also wondering if the numbers in the rune descriptions are for the highest level runes.

Wipqozn

Has the beta started?

tQuarella

Friends and Family beta started last week. Public closed beta hasn't started yet

The released class and skill descriptions on the community site.

1:30 PM

I'm going to go with "no" then.

tQuarella

Figured. Can't post on the D3 forums though. Have to have an active WoW account or own a copy of SC2.

Wipqozn

Asking questions about games which have yet to be released are normally off-limits.

tQuarella

I hear ya. Makes sense.

Thanks

Wipqozn

Do you know when the public closed beta starts, or have they even announced that yet?

tQuarella

They haven't announced it yet.

Some people are thinking this or next week though.

Mana

1:33 PM

Wait, isn't there no non-disclosure agreement for the D3 beta?

tQuarella

Nope.

Says so in the invite email.

Wipqozn

when the public closed beta starts, I believe D3 beta qquestions will become valid.

Mana

Says that there isn't one?

Wipqozn

I'm sure @Mana or @ArdaXi could give more insight then me though

tQuarella

@Mana yep. It explicitly states that there is no NDA.

Mana

1:34 PM

If there's no NDA then I see no reason why D3 questions would be off-topic.

Arda Xi

Can I now?

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Indeed. You're one of the more knowledgeable people on the site.

Mana

I think I mentioned this a while back in chat

tQuarella

I think the reasoning would be that the data isn't final until release. But I believe the data IS final in this case.

Mana

Sep 7 at 15:54, by Mana

Oh, by the way, apparently there is no nondisclosure agreement for Diablo 3

Wipqozn

1:36 PM

@tQuarella That's why i think questions should be tagged with Diablo3-beta

Mana

Sep 7 at 15:55, by Mana

so if any of you get a beta invite...POST. Even if it means self-answering a lot.

Wipqozn

I meant to sign up for the beta, but it slipped my mind.

tQuarella

You still can. Do you have a battle.net account?

Mana

Anyways, that's just my two cents. You might consider asking on meta but personally I think they're on-topic.

@tQuarella I do indeed, but I'm also not sure if I want to put the effort forth.
