Title: I suspect.....
Post by: bob48 on September 01, 2016, 03:47:11 PM
....that my PC is about to expire.

So, fare ye well, you useless piece of junk.

Thinks.

Or, it may be a Windows 10 issue, in which case, I may have to eat my words.

Where's the PC's teefs?

Maybe the teefs in the PC. That's where I leave mine. Keeps them nice and warm.  :coolsmiley:

As long as the teefs are not with Star.

Happy to help Bob. Do what I do when my Old Girl acts-up. I pour us both a drink, sit down and tell her to straighten-up or else I will make her play something really bad like Sewer Simulator.  ;D

Its as dead as a can of spam, so off to the repair shop it goes. Looks like a major Windows issue.

At least i have my Kindle.

I'm getting stuff back on the PC, but I'm devastated to realise that all my saved games on Steam are gone. Not too worried about most of them, but losing almost 300 hours and my main character in Skyrim hurts.

Turn on syncing to Steam Cloud. It's under Updates in the Properties in the game in Steam. It'll back up your saves.

Cross your fingers Bob. I just looked and sync to Steam Cloud was checked by default (because I sure don't remember doing it myself) so maybe there is hope...

Damn Bob. Sorry to hear that. Lightning fried my first computer and I lost everything on it. It just gave me a good excuse to start it all over and I enjoyed the old games as much the second time through.
