So i followed somones advice in here form a while back, and sniped a Metro:LL key form someone on ebay for $25

This game is piff. Whats the best settings for a EVGA superclocked 570?

I play on 'very high', with normal tess, smaa off, and physx on, on a gtx 660 (probably similar to the 570). the geforce site recommended those settings, but with tess off. the only time the framerate got bad was during a few cut-scenes and non-action parts. they recommend 'high' with everything off for the 570

Metro: Last Light Graphics Breakdown & Performance Guide | GeForce

since you have a nvidia card, I would recommend finding settings that let you play with physx on

the game has a good benchmark. it's a separate exe, and has no steam shortcut, but it's in the game's folder

Seriously, why isn't their a Chivalry type game on consoles, priced at $30 this thing would be a massive hit. The game is just fun as hell, tighten up the controls, add a few more moves and it would kill.

it was a kickstarter based on a HL2 mod

it's been pretty successful and it wouldn't surprise me if it headed for consoles

You could also use the Geforce Experience program that comes with the drivers now. It will detect the games on your system and optimize the games settings for your particular card.

that happened to me with some other free-weekend game, and I had to restart Steam

those free-weekend games should show up in your library. if not, restart Steam

My gateway laptop computer model kav60 won't come on, what can i do?

My gateway laptop computer model KAV60 won't come on. The power button wouldn't even light up. I thought it was a problem with my battery, so I ordered a new battery and adapter this week, and it still won't come on. So I unplugged the laptop, plugged it into another outlet. And nothing happened. Then I unplugged the laptop, removed the battery, put it back in, plugged the laptop in and turned it on again and the charging light light up orange and keep blinking. The second I press the power button on, the charging light will go out completely and I have to go through the above process to get the charging light turned on again. If I just unplug and replug, the light charging light won't turn on again. I have asked this question on another site and they recommended that I try something called an ATX reset, I followed the step by step process on the website and still have same problem. What can I do?
