RE: Some error when install warplan

I believe if you login to windows and have oneDrive active, then when you put files under "My documents" which is the same as <user>\Documents, then windows will maintain a copy on OneDrive.

Solution is to install in a different directory not under documents directory.

RE: Dumb question about Windows 10

<t> Windows 8 was the truly perplexing version. Windows 10 is a good OS. These days everything is into this telemetry info, and ad targeting. It's in nvidia drivers now. But you can still turn all that stuff off. Backward compatibility is very good with win10. Like win 8, it's geared to handle all d...

RE: Game bought on Steam fails to start #2

<t> I am sorry but I am having difficulty understanding the issue completely.<br/> <br/> If you have properly installed steam on both computers, you should be able to install this on multiple computers. If you are logged into with steam online, then you can only play on one machine at the same time....

RE: STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (TV)

"but more tech than any of the later ships (again)"

I am ok with that. Otherwise, the series would be stuck back in 60s with computers represented as a bunch of flashing lights. I think what was done to R2D2 was a worse infraction.

RE: Computer information and advice

Yep, I think Stardock is like the best or most progressive game developer at fully utilizing all cores in their newer games. I think it's a big reason why AMD partnered with them for Ashes of the Singularity. I think Ashes of the Singularity was even the first game benchmark for dx12.

RE: Steel Division Normany 1944.

It looked like Ruse to me, and since the developer did all the "Wargame: ..." games, I figured that this was just another one along those lines. I never really looked into the game.

RE: Which operating system do you guys use?

Win 10 64 bit Pro

Picked pro so that I have more control, and I picked win 10 because I built a new machine about 1.5 years ago, and I always install the latest windows version.

I have mixed feelings about win 10. Sometimes it's good, other times, not so good.

Stellaris is in the humble bundle month, which costs about $15, so not much sense picking it up for 40% from steam.
