Oh, and just for laughs about the OpenGL crap...

"Standard SVGA VESA graphics card (S3 Trio 32 PCI with 4 MB video RAM, adjustable in later versions up to 16 MB by manually editing a virtual machine's settings file)."

This is what XP Mode emulates. You want OpenGL? :D

Just one last thing, the problem is with the campaign. Not the single battles. Not the tutorials. Not anything else.

I wasn't supporting OpenGl perse, just that with DirectX being proprietary and M$ not wanting to help Virtual Machines or allow them to code it into their features(DirectX support) the virtual machine thing will never work out for games/etc dependant on DirectX that much.

Also Impulse just popped up with a 40% off Dead Space 2 offer for today.

Wait, what?

... XP's Terminal Services protocols do not support Hardware Acceleration. This has nothing to do with DirectX or OpenGL.

Hardware Acceleration for Remote Clients / Terminal Services Clients was introduced with Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Big paradox sale at gamers gate. One of the best deals is Victoria Complete. It has 1 and 2 with the DLC for 8.67

Oh wow, that does sound like a very good deal. Thanks for the heads up.

Ahh, it seems the deals are hunting me down. A few days ago xyem told me in a thread about turn-based strategy games how good Dark Reign with it speedbar would be for me slow-paced player. He also offered it me as a gift, but knowing I don't have the time to play I thankfully rejected. After gamersgate new layout I choosed a strategy-minion and checked the paradox-catalog for some gems to put on my wishlist. And yes, many of them are now on sale. Great, really great - I have no time and many great games are on sale. So Gog, if your daily deal today is Gothic you will for sure give me the rest.

Edit: To be on-topic Europa Universalis Chronicles (inlc all expansion) is also 75% off again. All others Paradox games are 50% off.

Among the Paradox Interactive games on sale is Pride of Nations at 50% off. I recently bought it from Steam since I couldn't know when it was going to be that low at GG, and although it is a bit early to say, it looks like the game I wanted it to be. Basically a more modern version of Victoria, better streamlines and THANK GOD ALMIGHTY a turn based system!!!
I shouldn't recommend it so early, but I am going to. Go and buy it.

Prices in € again .This is not fair . :(

Is it a weeklong sale ?

edit : There's a Paradox sale on Impulse and on GMG .

Prices are consistently better in the gamersgate.co.uk store, think you can just purchase there as well.

Victoria complete pack is a daily deal, the others are so far on sale a week long. As far as I remember daily deals are related to the normal sale (last week Sega-Deals), so games on sale can also become daily deals. Personally I would wait.

Edit: To see when sales elapsed you need to allow facebook.net to use scripts.

Well,

$1 = 187.10 hungarian forint
€1 = 268.92 hungarian forint
£1 = 304.70 hungarian forint

See the differences ?

In addition to the Victoria Collection pack at 85% off and Europa Universalis III Chronicles at 75% off, Darkest Hour is also currently reduced by 75%.

The point being that UK prices usually are set lower, it's not 1 pound = 1 euro :) (or usually isn't at least)

I've all but stopped referring my local dutch budget forum to the .com site and just use the UK one now because most of the time it's cheaper, even with conversion.

Same thing here.
