    Curious, have you done a packet capture or viewed the HTTP responses to see what's happening? The images and videos would normally load from a third party CDN, so it looks like that step is failing.

    Are you accessing the Steam store in a browser, or in the Steam client itself? The latter would make it easier if the error is there as well.

    The client itself. On chrome, the store is fine.

    To catch what's happening there would need a packet capture. Reckon you'd be okay with installing Wireshark and capturing the traffic while it fails to load images?

    God, I cant remember the last time I bought something directly from Steam. I have 4euro credit in my account for at least the last 18 months and have not touched it.

    Is that fairly simple?

    Never mind. Just went into options and cleared the Steam browser's data, cookies and so on. Working perfectly now though it's beyond me why.

    Is Warzone free to play or do you need Modern Warfare?

    Big download alright. Plays very well. Never was really into the online shooter stuff but being playing a bit more recently especially games that feature cross play. Fortnite, warzone, sea of thieves all playing very good. Anyone give Dauntless a try??? Is seems like a dumbed down Monster Hunter in a Fortnite style looking game and gets decent reviews.

    Warzone is pretty good. The crossplay though is what sells it for me - I can play with a range of friends across PC, Xbox and PS4. I wish more games had this optional feature. Apex Legends doesn't even have cross-console play.

    I'm waiting a month now for my new processor to arrive. I cancelled one when they said they couldn't tell me where my package was... now my second order is late. Is there a shortage of ryzen 5 3600's right now?

    I doubt it but never read anything like that. Who did you order from?

    A 3rd party seller from amazon and now amazon themselves this time. I'm rather annoyed as my new graphics card, motherboard and ram is useless without it.

    Amazon are dog slow these days. Ordered a few things. 2 never arrived. one re-sent after contacting customer support and the other monies were refunded to my account.
    no arguing needed.
    DPD had previously messaged me to say that another order would be delayed by 5 days due to how busy they are.

    They were slow before the pandemic. I got the 3 months Prime offer before Christmas. Only used it once to order a SSD. Got lost. Reordered it then it took over a week to get here. I didn't renew my Prime. That was from amazon directly.
    Yet I ordered a new phone from Amazon Germany and got it within a week with standard delivery

    I've ordered 2 processors with the plan to cancel/return whichever one doesn't arrive first... I've gotten that desperate. The one I ordered 2nd (4 days apart) has now been dispatched. I'm glad I went for this unorthodox strategy now.

    Damn thats some crap luck. I ordered a processor on the 6th of May, delivered by the 11th. Between myself and the wife we have been ordering a fair bit of stuff mostly from amazon and we havent noticed anytihng been overly delayed.

    Lads, Anyone used Instant Gaming for keys? They have tropico for 18eu and from little googling they are just another Grey Market reseller, but with good reputation on delivering keys.

    Just one thing that kind of pushed me off, that if I pay with paypal they needed my phone number and called me from unknown number ( I did not answered, but from what people said its just automated call to give code, same way they do with texts these days ). So I backed off and did not put in any more details. Would it be normal? Anyone actually bought of them? I usually use cdkeys.com and prices there higher, but they had no Tropico 6 in stock. Used them for years.

    Have not used them specifically but I've noticed key sites have gotten a lot worse. They often have stock issues and prices are not nearly as attractive as they used to be. The last time I tried to buy something Paypal would not accept it. I don't know what happened. I usually only used them once or twice a year though. Most of the time sales on their official storefronts or steam would be enough for my frugal habits.

    Did instant gaming did same thing with paypal for you? I heard sometimes they ask to send a photo of ID too. Ran in to those things?

    I remember buying a key off eBay from a key seller with +100k feedback. Got a phone call from someone Asian, looking to verify i was the buyer.

    Since long gone off eBay now.

    They asked me for I'd, I sent it and they wouldn't accept it for whatever reason, I just used another site which was 1 or 2 euro more expensive.

    You gave your photo ID to a shady seller, who "didn't accept it"?

    OK...

    Off-topic, can you DM me your bank details? :pac:
