Thats because codemasters still holds the name rights for OP:F and Bohemia renamed it

Okay, I see. I have still two Operation Flashpoint games in my account, so I was a bit confused.

The original CD audio has been added to the game files. If you want to hear the original soundtrack, you will have to navigate to your Steam directory where the game files for Clans reside. You will find a folder called "Clans music", and the audio files are in there. Then you will have to burn an audio CD and put into your CD drive.

This is getting stupidly common with some old games. See: Jedi Knight, Quake 2, etc.

Somehow modders manage to fix the issue, so it really boils down to the company not giving a shit.

Can't you just mount an iso from the audio CD to have the music?

 

[Berekän]

It's as fucking simple as changing the code and telling it to stop looking for the files on the CD drive and do it on a folder on the HDD, it's first week programming school. It goes to show how a fucking cashgrab most of this things are that they can't even do that and they would rather put a fucking disclaimer because it can be done in 2 minutes on paint.

 

[Kitako]

They probably "lost the original files", like Trent complained about his Baldur's Gate abortion.

i don't even own a disc drive anymore

 

[codexian reject]

You can mount an image. If you do have any optical drive though, then from my experience with old W9x games, you should change drives order in Windows, to make virtual one be the first after hdd partitions, before physical optical drives.

While I fully egree with Berekan, they've at least provided original soundtrack. Most of other assholes don't bother even with that and you have to sail the seven seas to get it.

Original War for 90 cents, get it, fucks.

 

[Telengard]

Original War is an RTS gem that got totally IGNored. If you got any at all interest, you really should try it.

I'm liking Original War but I think I got a bug where one team member (female engineer) would outright refuse any order I gave while the recognition voice sound would continuously loop.

New King's Bounty game on Early Access: http://store.steampowered.com/app/289520/

Some Steam Sales incoming? Not that I would buy anything, just curious.

 

[Metro]

Next sale isn't until June/July.

 

[Markman]

Just got the DLC for Kings Bounty last game for 5 euros that I made from selling the imaginary cards. Fire and Ice I think its called.

I'm done with KB games... it's the same shit repeated ad nauseum.

I'm done with KB games... it's the same shit repeated ad nauseum.

If it was a game with a focus on multiplayer where frequent releases fragment and ultimately help kill off the online community, you'd have a point, but that isn't the case with KB. They've got a formula that seems to result in games of a consistent level of quality, and considering how most other devs have no grasp of what actual innovation is, I'd much rather see the former than the latter. At least when it comes to games that are entirely single player.
