I bought a couple games off the Gamestore today (a couple that seemed interesting).

Anyway, the process was really smooth and easy... The downloading of the games was really good, I got between ~900KB/s and 1200KB/s which is certainly on par with Steam. I did a regular web download for one of the games, and then tried the other game with the Download Manager (DLM). The DLM works and does not seem to need to run in the background for any reason (which is nice). I suspect however that in the future I'll probably just do the Web Download.

It also looks like the games will stay in my StrafeRight Gamestore account forever (which is really nice).


A comment on Sniper: Ghost Warrior, It's probably got the most realistic shooting mechanics in any game that I've ever seen. Being a guy who spends a lot of time shooting at distances greater than 500yrs, I can honestly say that they've done a really good job representing ALL of the challenges one faces at those distances. At 70% off, if you dont already own the game, I'd suggest buying it. I paid $60 when it was released and still think it was worth it, plus the StrafeRight store price even beats Steam (At least right now).

Here's a 3 min walkthrough of a Magicka purchase starting on the web and finishing on the DLM.

There was a question on what information StrafeRight can see through the GameStore. I have admin access which allows me to add new featured games and create widgets that can be used in the forum pages. StrafeRight GameStore admin can see:

• The only mandatory ones are your screen name/username, email, and a month & year for your date of birth.
• If you enter additional information: Full name, city & country, account status (not bank account, store account), interests, fav movies & games, website URL, social media, created date
• When you make a purchase: order number, game, Country, cost & discount, order date. StrafeRight does not see your financial details.

Attempted to purchase that game, but I constantly get a RunTime error when I go to purchase it. Maybe it doesn't work with Chrome? What did you use Teck?

I used Firefox... If you give a more specific description (Where/What page, specific error, what you were doing, etc), I'm sure that Ohmigosh can pass off the error and see if we can get it fixed...

Yes, Chrome shouldn't be an issue, so I followed the steps to purchase the game up to the Paypal log in screen and it was behaving.

I'll get this raised so please can you give me more info as Teck mentioned and I'll get GameStreamer to take a look.

Happened on the screen where you put in your credit card information. After putting everything in and double checking it gives a run time error when you submit.

[ohmigosh]

Great, thanks for that..I've sent it onto GameStreamer. I was able to replicate the runtime error message so got a screenshot.

[ohmigosh]

GameStreamer have resolved the runtime error, and I've tested that it works in Chrome (now to improve on my total lack of stalking/sniping skills)
