Not the first time someone runs into an issue with my mod because one of their keyboard keys is faulty! It's also one of the easier problems to solve because it requires no action by me.

is there a certain location where the FOV changer needs to be run from? I've tried multiple locations with no luck.

the fov changer window shows my current fov when i press f9, holding f3 decreases fov, but f4 does not work

current fov is 80

Rose_ OP • 1d ago (Moderator, Ultrawide)
If it decreases, there's no way it wouldn't also increase unless your button is faulty. It's the same function.

you are correct! I used a keyboard checker and my F4 in fact is not working. thank you so much for the response!

Back when Epic was actively offering exclusivity deals, gamers didn't seem to understand the appeal of that to developers. Sometimes I explained it almost in the same way as seen in the latest GDC report. #EpicGames #GamePass #gamedev #GDC2026

For us at the midsize indie scale, these buyouts provide significant operational revenue for both us and our developers. We often make more from biz dev deals than unit sales.

In a new blog post, Valve acknowledged that Steam tags are sometimes deliberately misused, but did not commit to doing more to address the problem. The latest glaring example of misuse was Pragmata being targeted to reference pedophilia. #Steam #Valve #gaming

Q. What if I see a game tagged with something that is wrong or inaccurate?

A. Letting customers tag games directly adds a bunch of valuable data to the store. But yes, sometimes people deliberately mis-tag a game. If you see that, feel free to report it to Valve or the game developer- it's quick and easy for a developer to remove a tag if they need to do so. To report a tag you see, just visit the store page for a game and click the little "+" (Plus) symbol next to the list of tags that appear near the top of the page. That will open a pop-up with a list of tags. Just click the little flag that appears next to the tag you wish to report.

It's taken Valve over five years to finally do something about spam comments and unhelpful reviews made to farm award points on Steam. store.steampowered.com/news/app/593… #Steam #gaming

New: Awards no longer transfer points

When we originally created Steam Community Awards, the idea was for them to not only look cool but to also grant a small number of Steam Points to the recipient, meaning they could be used as a tip of sorts for people who create and share amazing content with the Steam Community. However, we found that this encouraged and rewarded a narrow set of attention-grabbing content and didn't allow the focus to be as much on a broader pool of thoughtful, well-considered creative content.

Because of this, we're refocusing the system: The Second Edition of Steam Community Awards won't transfer points. Instead, the goals of the system will be solely about conveying the appreciation of the viewer to the content creator, and as a signal to others that someone appreciated the piece of content.

Any pending point transfers will complete like normal, but new award applications will not convey points.

PCGamesN is rather on point in its review of ARC Raiders, placed 8 in its Game of the Year Awards. #ARCRaiders #gaming

to create something accessible but never watered down. However, Arc Raiders' greatest boon is the community it forged in just a matter of weeks.

While the extraction genre often demands bloodlust and a survival-of-the-fittest mentality, Arc Raiders is an anomaly. Of course, those players still exist, and they can thrive too thanks to Embark's matchmaking system, which leans towards putting PvP-focused loot fiends in the same lobbies as each other. But if you take the game at a steady pace, say hi through prox chat, or even throw up a 'Don't Shoot!' ping, you'll find yourself in some of the most wholesome emergent moments. I'm a competitive-minded soul when it comes to shooters - I like to embarrass other players, to spill some blood, to taste victory (when my limited skill allows). But with Arc Raiders, I don't feel compelled to think that way. If the mood takes me, then sure, I'll start blastin'. But the beauty of this game is that, most of the time, it can satisfy me without making my trigger finger twitchy.

Finally, while Valve suggests the Meta court found a defendant needs 75% market share to have monopoly power, (a) the Ninth Circuit disagrees, see Image Tech. Servs., Inc. v. Eastman Kodak Co., 125 F.3d 1195, 1206 (9th Cir. 1997) (65% for prima facie case of market power, but less may still suffice); and (b) in any event, Valve’s share far exceeds 75%. See Dkt. 483 at 5.
