I have used this place for a few steam games and never an issue...key comes pretty instantly and no issues in activating.

1) Reseat the video card in the bus. Doing this solved a similar issue I was having.

2) Heat build up. Use an app to check the temp of your video card while under load. Also taking the side cover off and pointing a fan at the video card.

3) Is your power supply beefy enough to support the load the video card is asking from it? Which video card have you, and how big of a power supply?

Thanks Slick. I've reseated the video cards. Also downloaded EVGA's software to monitor the temp. I doubt its the PSU, I had my my old one go out last year and bought a brand new 1000W PSU. I think it should be more then enough to power x2 GTX 570's. It could just be that Rome 2 and ArmA 3 are not optimized for SLI. I know the Skyrim engine isn't, but its never given me much trouble until recently.

I've been getting back into Rising Storm myself.  I had a great round last night even though we lost the match.  I was playing as a squad leader for the Marines.  I got some good arty marks down for the commander and then rushed the huts behind the trenches covering the beach after we took those.  I was able to get in under the pillars and racked up 32 kills with my Thompson before I was hit by friendly fire.  Ended up getting 72 kills for 14 deaths that mission.  Good times!

That's pretty damn impressive.  I've been playing a while now, and 72 kills represents 2 or 3 matches worth of kills for me.

It was definitely not the norm.  I'm usually in the 15-25 range per match in a full server.

Quick question, anyone playing/have played Baldur's Gate Enhanced Editon?  Any good?  Says MP and Cross Platform MP, what is Cross Platform?  PC and Console?  PC and Mac?

I played it and it was good.  For me it was easier to get this than to get the original and mod it up.  Others have no issues with the mods.  Also, the added party members add some new content.

Right now it is available on PC, MAC, and IOS.  Website says in a future patch it will allow MP across these plaforms and Android when released.  Not sure if this was ever done.

Thanks for the info.  I know I can always count on you guys to come up with the goods :)

[Rizik6]

I've gotten hooked on Tales of Maj'Eyal. Maybe some Rome 2.

[Bison]

Once again wasted a Friday night killing sand people in SWTOR.  I really need to play a real wargame soon.

[Anguille]

I will continue my darkstar one campaign which is progressing well. I would like to finish it before going back to work on the 6th.  8)

[Rekim]

stayed up until 5am playing Distant Worlds and Thunderbolt Apache Leader

Looks like I'm about to pull off my first ever campaign win with TAL, playing Libya'84

Tried some more things to get FSX to work.. when that failed.. tried BF4 for a lil while bleh... Played some Assassins Creed (came for free with the card) Then continued a Rome II campaign that I hadn't played in or month or two.. that was better..

Was in Washington DC with family until late last night, but can start gaming again today if allowed some time by the family, off from work until 1/2.

I want to continue with WWI-themed gaming but not all my components for WOFF have arrived yet. So I may start a Civ V modded campaign in the industrial/modern era as Russia as a fail safe. Maybe a new campaign of SCWWI, maybe the WWI mod for CoH, or Sid Meier's Ace Patrol until everything arrives for WOFF.

If I get sick of WWI, then it will either be an Iceni campaign in Rome II, CoH 2, or Assassin's Creed: Black Flag.
