A single client to run games from different clients

jeanid last edited by

I use windows 10 and for gaming I have to use a lot of clients like Steam, Origin, Epic, etc. Is there any way of centralizing these clients? For example one common client instead of all of these or some apps to help?

There are some custom clients that try to solve this problem, for example this one:

https://www.steamgriddb.com/manager (I'm not affiliated with it and not using it):

Currently Supported Launchers:

Origin
Uplay
Epic Games Launcher
Blizzard Battle.net
GOG.com

It doesn't allow you to actually buy games, but you can browse and launch them from single place.

How does the Master Sword differ from other swords in the game?

The Master Sword is just like any other broadsword as far as attack range, attack speed, and fighting style are concerned. It does have a few differences though. It never "breaks" - that is, it never disappears from your inventory once you own it. However, just like any other weapon, it does have durability. Once the durability runs out, it will be unequippable until it "recharges", which takes 10 minutes. You cannot throw it. Instead, you will perform a directed sword slash in the direction you are facing (kind of like using a wand or rod). If you are at full health, this slashing attack will release an energy beam which travels in a straight line (an homage to the classic Master Sword attack from other Zelda games). The Master Sword's base attack power is 30. If you are in the vicinity of Malice (specifically: Guardians, Divine Beasts, Hyrule Castle, or Ganon himself), this power will be upgraded to 60. In addition, the blade is much more durable and lasts longer while in this upgraded state.

It's not possible as yet. They have plans for Character Profiles, similar to World of Warcraft's Armory. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/5406050/Character_Profiles_Coming_Soon-5_11_2012 Also, http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5271598804 details Blizzard's plan for an API to get Diablo 3 information.

For a game to run on the iPhone 2G, it needs to support iOS 3. This can usually be found in the description somewhere. The App Store will not allow you to install it if it requires iOS 4, however, so this is unlikely the cause of your black screen crashes (unless a bad developer forget to set their app iOS 4 only). A less common problem (that will become more common soon) is that you don't have enough RAM. This happens because some apps try and use the higher RAM amounts of the 3GS and iPhone 4. While this is somewhat rare at the moment as the iPod Touch 2G and iPhone 3G, with the same amount of RAM as the iPhone 2G are still current devices, they will be phased out soon. This can be rectified for some apps by restarting (if unjailbroken) or closing apps like Safari/Music/Mail with processes in sbsettings (if jailbroken), but it won't help for apps that need more RAM than is physically on the device. Sadly, I can't find an authoritative list of games that run on the older devices. In general however, games like Angry Birds and other similar simple casual games should run, and games like Call of Duty: Zombies and other similarly graphically complex games will not (even if you did manage to run them, you would probably find them unacceptably slow).

New way to upload custom screenshots to Steam

The process of uploading a (custom) screenshot is similar to what it used to be. First find the relevant folder for the game you want to upload screenshots for. This is usually something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\\remote\\screenshots\. Refer to this guide (also linked in the question) if you still need help finding the game id. Put your screenshots in that folder. Open steam, right-click the game and click "Show screenshots". Let it load all the thumbnails. Exit the dialog, then exit steam completely (by right-clicking the notification icon and clicking "Exit"). Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\\ (that is a few folders above the folder you put your screenshots in, and open screenshots.vdf in an editor that respects both windows and unix line endings, such as VIM or Notepad++. Now find the entry for each of your screenshots. In my case I was searching for the screenshot 20160809224314_2.jpg. The problem you encountered is because Steam now fills in the vrfilename entry with a non-existing file. Remove that filename so that it says "vrfilename" "". You might need to set imported to "0" depending on if you tried to upload it before. Save the file, then start steam again. Right-click the game again, then click "show screenshots". It now should allow you to upload your image.

When launching Oblivion (or Skyrim/Fallout for that matter), the games usually load into a Launcher window. This window gives you some basic options for the games, like video/audio quality settings, support links, and most importantly here, Data Files. Click into Data Files, and you will see a list of all .esm and .esp files that are being loaded into Oblivion. This is called your Load Order. Make sure that all necessary files are check-marked, including Frostcrag Spire. It would not surprise me if the game deselected it for some reason.

You certainly can find the same card twice, or even three times! And it does, sadly, count toward your card drops. I managed to get 3 Wolfgang cards from Don't Starve, a game that only gives you three card drops. Also, you can trade for duplicate cards. I traded my Portal 2 Destruction card to a friend who was then able to trade it back to me, despite my having a second Destruction card in my inventory.

While this is by no means definitive, experimentation suggests that no, story dialogue doesn't have any effect; at the most, any effects would be far enough later for the conversation to have been completely forgotten, and aren't overt enough to remind you of the conversation. Labyrinth events will, however, still depend on your choices, just as they do in other series entries. Judging by this thread on GameFAQs, this lines up with other players' experience, as well: Pretty sure it's all just fluff. Some of them can be rather entertaining though.

For GTA 5 purchased on a disk (so only attached to your Rockstar Social club Account): Note that you will have to have installed and registered the game license from the disks at least once before this process. Go to the Rockstar Social Club website: https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/ Then sign in with your Rockstar Social Club credentials. If you attached a social media account to your RSSC account, you can also sign in using the relevant service, which could be easier if you are already logged into that service. Once you're signed in, go to the top right icon that represents your RSSC avatar (default the Rockstar R), and click Game Downloads in that menu. you are presented a list of games, and the first game should be GTA V. you can click download to download the installer. then after you downloaded and ran the installer, you can start the launcher and download the rest of the game (about 70-80 GB last time I checked). It is possible that GTA IV purchased on a disk can also be downloaded through this method, but I'm not entirely sure how that works because I own my copy on Steam and haven't had to do the disk install in years.

Authorized Devices is a component of Steam's upcoming Family Sharing feature. It is currently only available on the beta version of Steam to users selected for the Family Sharing beta test. When you authorize a device, then you register that device and share your Steam library with it. (Not all games can be shared in this way.) You authorize a device by logging into Steam on the device and then authorizing it through the client via the Account settings. You may be asked to re-authorize a device via email if the hardware changes. Shared libraries on authorized devices may be accessed by any users who log into Steam on that machine. Users borrowing from a library accumulate their own playtime and achievements. If, at any point, the shared library is being used, then any other devices sharing that library will not have access to it. A library is in use when the owner or any user on an authorized device is playing a game using a license from that library. Borrowers cannot interfere with the owner or any other borrowers who are playing the game. On the flip side, if you decide you want to play a game in your library, then whoever is currently sharing your library (if anyone is at all) will be given a few moments and then kicked off, unless they already own the game. They will be able to purchase the game in this window of time. If you own a game you will always play it from your own library, even if the device you are playing on is authorized to borrow other libraries that have the same game. For more details, see the official Steam announcement.

No- In MotorStorm RC, as well as all previous MotorStorm games, all the different cars within a specific vehicle type are just aesthetically different. NOTE: The different vehicle types handle differently from game to game, but in each MotorStorm game, not the vehicle itself, but the vehicle type determines the stats (in MotorStorm I, Big Rigs had 4/10 speed. In MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, they had 8/10 speed, meaning the stats for an individual vehicle type vary from game to game). All in all, the different vehicles within a class/type are statistically identical, they are just aesthetically different.

Clouds are rendered on the client-side. Here is a quote from the Minecraft wiki Since clouds are rendered client-side, the position of clouds is different for each player on a server.

I had this problem before and I am not exactly sure which of these things fixed it but after doing them the problem stopped occurring. Verify Local Content via Steam. To do this right click the game on main menu, go to properties and then there is a button that says verify local content. (Actually one of my friend uninstalled then reinstalled prior to doing this) Never use the steam overlay for managing invites with Civ5. Defriend and retry then refriend and retry. Check your game version numbers match I was basically trying everything I could think of then it started connecting without problems.

It's definitely by design. From this topic: Tito Shivan (Steam moderator): As mentioned, the client does save the age. And whether it's saved or not, they won't disable the step of having to click and accept before entering the game page. It's a feature to remove any responsibility from Valve in case anyone not meant to visits the page (hence lying about their age) It's a way to avoid stupid lawsuits. The thread also mentions law texts excerpts that may help to understand. For example: 2.2 If the audio-visual content contains material from a Mature-rated or Adults Only-rated game (or one that is anticipated to receive either rating), display an ESRB-compliant age-gate prior to access or purchase. You can now skip that validation step entirely:
